I am a shameless hussy!
Yes.I.Am.
Yes.I.Am.
You know me-
I never promote anything.
That is not what my blog is about-
Get a cup of coffee or a glass of wine
and sit a spell.
This is the longest post I have ever written,
I think.

HOWEVER,
I wanted to do this for
my son, Ryan, and his friend, Christian.
They are two of the most talented
kids boys men I know.
They both work full time jobs,
are hands-on dads,
and are putting their artistic talents into
SIGN MAKING.
SO, with that being said,
All you have to do to sign up for
THE GIVEAWAY
is to
LIKE their Facebook Page
and visit their 79north Etsy Shop,
look at the signs and tell
me which one is your favorite.
I will tell you in a day or so
which one they are giving away.

Gotta love those signs!!!
I am so proud of them both.
They are both "givers" and expect nothing in return
for their kindnesses.
If you have a moment to read this you will see
that my son has my quirky sense of humor.
This is on their website: here
ABOUT 79north.
The way our wives roll their eyes will tell you nearly everything you need to know about our company. Weekend after weekend collecting wood, metal, and anything else we deem as "art-worthy material" that ends up in someones driveway, garage, or rented warehouse until our real jobs afford us the ability to design and create our pieces. Now keep in mind, our wives may complain, but being the hands-on dad's we are, we often take our 3 and 5 year old sons with us to old, broken farmsteads in search of the perfect pieces to inspire us. Yes, tetanus is a real thing, but kids heal very quickly.
Born and raised in Green Bay, WI we have been inspired by the great outdoors, the industrial blue collar community, a sense of family, and the need to put what is in our heads in the hands of those who may be inspired by it. We have both been immersed in some form or fashion of the arts from a young age and are now dedicating the time necessary to bring our pieces to market.
Simply put, we are a couple of guys with a pockets full of nails, some hammers, some paint, and the vision to change signage into art. That is our story, and we can't wait to share it with you.
- Ryan and Christian
My son, Ryan, is the daddy to
Little Motormouth, CJK.
I don't know if you can see those
EYELASHES or not
but you could ride to the left side of the moon
on them!
Wouldn't you know a boy would get them?
Notice the bump on his lip and the bruise on his cheek?
I will say that I did not cause them...lol...
He is like a little tank--
or bulldozer might be more apt.
If you have a few minutes
you might want to read a few of the
"descriptions" of the signs.
Someone you know REAL WELL-me-
is writing their descriptions for them.
Here's a sneak peek:
Here is a partial "description"
Do you like to EAT...or do you know someone that DOES like to eat? I like to eat. My favorite is Bacon Bits but The Wife says I have to eat vegetables, too, so that I have a rounded diet. I know that tomatoes are a vegetable AND you can make them into juice AND you can mix tomato juice with vodka and throw a stick of celery in there. Presto- meat AND a vegetable. The Wife says that is NOT funny.
The rest of the description actually
tells about the sign itself.
My son is a joker so they thought
'why not give people a smile when they visit'...
and that is just what they are doing.
Thanks for looking.
Pop back in here and let me know
that you have visited both sites
and I will throw your name into
the drawing.
We will have little CJK do the
drawing on Halloween.
That gives you plenty of time to sign up.
Have a GREAT weekend.
Bear with me- it has been a
crazy week.
I hope to get around to visit
and/or reply to everyone today.
