But I’ve been known to decorate for Christmas in black and white, so I went with it. I have to admit, I don’t find the black and white to be quite as festive as red and green. The number 25 stencil on the front bumper is part of another stencil. I used the top portion of the stencil on one side … I debated using the same red, green and black color scheme on the truck, but ultimately decided to go with a more neutral palette. You’ll be seeing it a couple more times before the end of the season! I used a larger version of the same stencil on my drop leaf signs. Then I added my stencil using Dixie Belle’s Midnight Sky. Last weekend I pulled it out of storage and gave it a couple of coats of Dixie Belle’s Drop Cloth. I took some measurements and ordered a Christmas themed stencil from Wallcutz in a size that would fit. I knew it would be a fun one to paint, and that I wanted to turn it into a Christmas decoration. I picked up this wooden toy truck last summer at a garage sale. Now that we’re both retired, I’m planning some thrifting dates with my buddy Sue (yep, in case I didn’t already mention it, both Sue and I are retiring from our day jobs with the same employer), so fingers crossed that we find good stuff for me to work on. Hopefully I can keep it up throughout the winter. It’s Wednesday! I’m posting! And I’m not even retired yet!īut I’m anticipating having plenty of projects to share with you guys from here on out, so I’m planning to go back to posting three times a week starting now.
