barn owl primitives {giveaway closed}

blog friends, giveaway, thoughts

You might say that I’m addicted, and maybe I am! I LOVE Barn Owl Primitives. Kristi is so creative and the way she expresses her creativity through her painted signs is sure to inspire you! Let tell me you aboutour newest sign…

Our family is working hard on taking set backs and looking at them as a chance to grow and learn. Instead of viewing failure as a bad thing, and letting it stop us in our tracks, we are changing our perspective. This is one hundred percent my husband’s heart for approaching life–and we want our kids {and ourselves!} to learn how learn and grow through challenges.

Life is full of hard stuff, isn’t it? Ugh, I have a hard time receiving difficult feedback and criticism, but if I stop worrying about whether or not I’m a failure, feedback and criticism are opportunities for to learn things about myself. Change is possible. I still have a lot of growing to do!

We’ve started sharing around the dinner table how we’re learning and growing and stories specific to that day. If one of the kids has a hard day at school, we try to talk about he can do differently next time to change the situation. Failure doesn’t mean you’re bad–it’s just means there’s room to grow.

We hung the sign in our living room. I love the reminder to approach each day with an open mind and a heart that wants to grow and learn!

  6. Wow … love her stuff! The “we can do hard things” sign really spoke to me right now because we are going through a tough time with our 12 year old daughter who we adopted 2 years ago. We can do this! 🙂

  20. Hi Lisa! I just ordered your “Be Brave” Necklace, and I can’t wait until it arrives! I wanted to thank you for ‘liking’ my facebook page called “The Artistic Word”. We have something in common, in that we both opened a small business using our gifts and passions. The other thing we have in common is that we both have a son with a disability (my son Cole as autism). You have done such a beautiful job in growing your business, and I hope to follow in your footsteps one day. I wanted to give you one of my signs, with the hope that you would post about it on line. You have such a wonderful shop with so many followers, so a recommendation from you could really give my business the boost it needs. You can pick anything you like, just go to my Etsy site, etsy.com/shop/theartisticword, and pick something out. I would be honored to give you a piece of my artwork! I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you Lisa!

  75. Our little ones too are working so hard on learning from life’s disappointments, it definitely takes intentionality as parents to remind them on a daily basis to keep on pushing though, that everyone makes mistakes the important thing is to learn something positive from them…it helps build character! I just love Barn Owl primitives shop, but haven’t had the pleasure of ordering one just yet, we’ve been stuck on a survival mode for some time now due to job fluctuations, but we have admired the “be awesome today” sign, and as my husband and I have just recently started new jobs, and the littles have gone back to school, I have been wishing for one to remind us all to give it our best!!! Lisa you are such an inspiration to keep on keeping on!

  100. I was just looking at her things online the other day…still trying to figure out if I have a spot for the Fall Fun (from the Bunting collection) sign. I saw a similar item recently in a catalog……but it wasn’t as cute as Kristi’s. It’s on my wish list.

  113. I love the “baby, it’s cold outside” artwork. It puts me into the Christmas spirit (quite a bit early, actually), but that’s okay. 😉

  115. I love the “No soliciting unless you’re selling thin mints” sign! I was just talking to my husband about needing a sign for all these unwanted solicitors we’ve been getting, even though our HOA doesn’t allow it. We definitely need that sign!

  119. I love You are my Sunshine. It reminds me of when my kids were little and we would rock and I would sing that to them. They are 19 and 15 now. Miss those days sometimes. Great giveaway!

  137. To pick one sign is impossible! There are so many that I love. I still think my very favorite was the Beach Rules that she used to sell. Little Miss Momma Mom has one made in pink that I just died for. It literally warmed my heart. Another favorite is You are my Sunshine.I could go on and on…

  178. I love the sign you’ve featured here the best! Such a strong message. I have her “Unless You’re Selling Thin MInts…” No Soliciting sign, and I love it! It gives our friends a chuckle and keeps that doorbell from ringing!

    I have been following her on Instagram for a while – love it!

  182. I love the “We can do hard things” sign. That’s very fitting for our life right now. In the past year we have become environmental activists fighting to keep a frac sand mine from coming into our neighborhood. I never imagined that I would be collecting petitions, speaking in public and testifying in court. HARD THINGS! But I got through them and now I’m stronger.

  183. It’s a tie. I love the family rules sign but my boys are so into baseball that I also love the baseball typography sign for them.

    Reply

  195. Ah – the power of words!!! My favourite is the “playroom rules” sign. It would look fabulous in the kids playroom!

    Reply

  196. Well it’s a little bit like looking through a jewlery box trying to find just one favorite. The “you is” and the “no place like home” are so endearing!

    Reply

  197. I have looked at her site many times. Love so many I just can’t pick right now. I am particularly drawn to the signs with scripture.

    Reply

  207. I often thought of her “We can do hard things” sign during the longer-than-expected wait during our adoption. It was such a positive reminder to me throughout that hard time. I also looooooove the Fall to-do sign. It’d be hard to choose! 🙂

    Reply

  212. It is hard to narrow down all the choices, but I adore the ‘You Are My Sunshine’ and ‘They Lived Happily Ever After’.

    Reply

  221. Many cute things! But the multi-colored YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE is the one that caught my eye right away. I have always loved that song!

    Reply

  223. I love the Family Rules Sign Version III. I’m trying to instill those values into my small children and having the sign would help remind them 🙂

    Reply

  225. I love all the signs with scripture. I just noticed the “Unless Your Selling Thin Mints” sign. I think that one is funny!

    Reply

  228. Lisa: How can you ask us to pick a favorite? Not possible. I think that if I had to pick one right now, I’d pick the Be Awesome Today sign & hang it in my son’s room. He has a saying about being awesome & with a rough start to the school year, he could use this gentle reminder.
