I lucked up and got some of these craft wood plaques at sale for 70% off. The total price was only $1.50 each. I bought four of them and left 2 for someone else to have the pleasure of snagging.
My intentions are to paint them or stain them and paint a cute/smart/class/good descriptive word on each one. Example: Home, Relax, Coffee. So my question to you is what would you put on them?

I have thought in the past of looking up family coat of arms and putting them on similar wooden plaques.

My daughter did that a few years ago as a birthday present for me. She looked up my family coat of arms from our ancestral home in Scotland, and then painted the coat of arms on a piece of wood. It turned out beautiful.

@just4him I could do a whole series on coffee! I could also do a smiley face out of coffee beans!!
Also 3 piece set connected with 1) I 2) heart shape for Love and then 3) coffee cup or coffee spelled out.
I need to get a notebook out now to record all these good ideas!

It could work out well if I have all the supplies I already need to make them. I have a couple of colors of stain and the paint. If I do the fleu de lis, I need a stencil which could be used for other projects too so a good buy. I am excited now over this project. I want to go find some more of them on sale. They were not on sale at the stores here in my area in MS.

@kareng Are you wanting them to be a set. Or just stand alones? That would make a difference. As a set you could do faith, love, joy, things like that. Those could also stand alone as a single focal point.

That would be an easy one for me! Anything that has to do with coffee. Or the Florida Gators!

@moffittjc I'm really surprised that I see as many LSU shirts in Southern Mississippi as I do Ole Miss and Miss. State shirts!

@kareng I figured the Geaux Tigers plaques would be a given for you!

@DocAndersen I will. I am not sure when I will get on this project as we have rain through next Tuesday so don't want to paint or stain with the extra high humidity. I also have to spend another day dealing with mom's banking fiasco and get her social security check re-routed to new bank account.

Looks like you have some good suggestions. I'm pretty much clueless. Are you married? You could put the two names and the date of your marriage.

I'm not doing them for my home, but to sell at the flea market. I think I have gotten some great suggestions so far from @DianeN and @snowy22315. I knew you guys would come through for me!
