Never, never, never give up : My new sign

Martian Child inspired pallet wood sign

I love John Cusack, so of course I absolutely adore Martian Child. Since the first time I heard David and Dennis's exchange

"When you're here at home it's okay to be from mars but when you're out there with the rest of the earthlings,you know, you gotta play by earth rules. But what we will never do is never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever give up; Winston Churchill said that, I think."

I feel in love with the saying. For some weird reason it didn't even come to mind while I was searching for a good short quote for a pallet wood sign I had been wanting to make awhile back. Since I couldn't find a good enough quote I kinda lost inspiration and set it to the back of my mind to let it work itself out. Phillip and I were watching a movie (which one i can't recall) the other day and someone had the quote "never, never, never give up" written on a block on their office desk, and it dawned on me that's the perfect quote for my sign! and my inspiration was back! Since I wanted it to be a short quote I used the original over David's "never, ever, ever..." but to keep it like the movie I added the "I think" to the end. I looked up some fonts, drew it with pencil and then painted over the pencil markings. I may go back at some point and add some flowers or design around the letters. Oooh! Or I was just looking up some coffee filter flowers; I could make some to put around the sign rather than adding to the sign itself. Either way I'll share it with you guys for sure!

I'm totally in love with it. It goes really well in that corner, which is in our living room. It's a great little reminder to keep on keepin' on when life gets tough :)

(We currently do not have the Internet, I blog from the blogspot app, which is starting to improve but hasn't added hyperlinks to its abilities yet. Therefore I can not share any websites with you here like the really cool website I found where you can type in whatever you want and preview it in their fonts, so you can see the font to imitate without having to download the font. I do however have a Pinterest account and I'm always pinning my inspiration, so for the time being you could follow me on there if you like! I love meeting fellow DIYers! I also have an Instagram account, the links to both accounts are in my profile! I hope to see some new friends soon! Thanks for stopping by!)
