So you know how a few days ago I told you that I was working on a HUGE subway sign. Well, here it is, THE MOTHER of all SUBWAY signs!
{ It is almost 5 feet tall… I know that because I am 5′ tall and this is one of the few things that I can look eye to eye}
Now you may wonder WHAT is UP with all the places.
For your info we have moved 13 times in 13 years of happy marriage. Our journey began in the heart of my beautiful Madrid, Spain.
{If you could hear me speak, you would hear my Spaniard Accent}
We say in Spain that from Madrid to Heaven… Well, I think I was born and raised in the closest place to heaven. My forever treasured Lanzarote, Canary Islands.
And talking about heaven reminds me of the “heavenly burgers and fry sauce” at Burger Supreme inPROVO.
We ♥ you UTAH!
{Provo is where the love of my life is from too. HECK yeah, I married a MORMON BOY from Provo, UT and yes he wears shorts in the middle of the Winter.
LOOOOOVE him!
California… where are you?
I have missed your SUNSHINE a LOT during this last year. By the way there is this restaurant in Palmdale called El Torito…
Holly “Mole” Guacamole… have you ever been there?
Santa Cocina! I love to eat!
And the 97089 postal code is where we are know… Do you know where that is?
This sign will be displayed in the entrance of my home. I will show you sometime later the makeover.
If yo want to see a mini tutorial of how I made the sign click here.
I love this! I think having been in the military and moved a lot in 21 years of marriage this is a perfect idea! Thanks so much for sharing!
Desirée, Thank you soo much for linking this up to {nifty thrifty sunday} last week! I will feature this wonderful idea at tomorrow's linky party! 🙂

Come strut your stuff.
I love your sign! My husband and I just moved back from the U.S. after spending three years in Spain. I miss the Spanish accent…it's beautiful! I feel inspired to do something similar in our new house here. Gracias!
This is beautiful! Very impressive!
Thanks for linking up to Making It With Allie! I can't wait to see what you have for next week!

Fun Stuff! Love your blog! Popping buy from Take a Look Tuesday!
Love it! I have been wanting to make subway sign art like this to, it's been on my project list since I aw it at Restoration Hardware! I like how you made it more personal though!
Fabulous! I love it. We'd only have one place on our sign – Houston. But it would be cool to put all the places in Houston that we've lived, worked, and love. Hmmm…it looks too hard for me, but you did a GREAT job!
this is awesome! you have lived in so many wonderful places and the board is such a cool way to show it off!
I served a mission to Portugal–I'd love to go back, and visit Spain too!
This is a fantastic project–thanks for sharing!
