This past weekend my family gathered for a niece’s wedding and a brief reunion. As part of our reunions, we always have a family raffle. Several people contribute items, and tickets are $1/each. The proceeds go to help defray expenses for the next reunion.
This was my contribution this year. I had seen a similar sign a couple of months ago, and I wanted to recreate it.
Most of my family members are AMAZING cooks—especially of homemade bread! So it was perfect.
I used a recycled cupboard door for mine, with a little bit of a crackle finish and lots of distressing to make it look like it had been around since grandma was doing the baking!
This went home with another of my newly-wedded nieces! It couldn’t have been more perfect—she and her new husband actually do love to bake together!

That's beautiful, Korrie! I love it! I'll bet your niece and her hubby were thrilled to win it.
Looks fabulous and would look great in anybody's kitchen! I need to get going on some signs, but there's just so many other fun projects to do too! Love the lettering you did on this one!
Love the idea of a raffle. What a great sign too. Can you tell me what font you did this in. I would love to make one of those.
Thanks for sharing.
