I'm A Sign Junkie, So Here Are My Top 10 Favorites I've Ever Owned

My inner Joanna Gaines comes out whenever I enter a Hobby Lobby or Target (or any other place with decorative signs).

I'll just be honest with you. After all, I'd like to think, because you are reading this article, that we're friends. Or at least the decor-obsessed equivalent. Anyways, I have a bit of a problem. Any time I enter a Hobby Lobby, Target, or any Home Goods store for that matter, I want to buy everything in sight. Even though I definitely don't have room for any of it. I would like to believe that plenty of people suffer from this predicament. But I have a select group of decorative signs that I still fall in love with when I admire them now, no matter how old they are. Here are my top 10 signs I've ever purchased:

1. Hobby Lobby is the bomb dot com when it comes to quotable signs!

2. Bookish signs are my jam.


2nd and Charles is now my FAVORITE place to buy bookish signs after finding this gem one day while book shopping.

3. The sign whose seller is unidentifiable.

Even though I honestly can't remember where I found this sign (this shows you I have a serious buying problem), I still adore it. I'm studying English at university right now, so it fits perfectly in my room at school.

4. Altar'd State is def my go-to for biblical decor.

Even though most shoppers know Altar'd State for its pricey apparel and other merchandise, it's my favorite store of all time. I have so many articles of clothing that I've purchased over the years from there, a new Bible that I adore, and a total of four decorative signs that always find their place in any room, at school or at home.

5. Coffee-themed signs are my spirit animal.

Someone get me a large coffee, please!

6. Newfound loves while in the Sunshine State.

I found Sugarboo & Co. while on vacation in Florida last month. I'd never heard of it, but it's apparently been a thing since 2005. Their motto is, "Dealer in Whimsy," which I absolutely love. They carry a TON of household items that are given an extra sprinkle of decorative love as well as writing tools such as notebooks, pens, paperweights, and more!

If you want to give them a search, their web URL is: https://www.sugarbooandco.com

7. DIY is a great thing if you're looking for something cheaper.

I did this sign a few years back and I still adore the quote. All I did was purchase a white canvas, black paint, and foam scrapbooking letters. Then I placed the scrapbooking letters where I wanted them on the canvas, painted over the entire thing, and after it dried I removed the letters. I found the idea on Pinterest and it worked like a charm!

8. Alphabet photography.

Okay, I don't know what this is officially called, but I really like the concept. And I love that you can create whatever you want with pictures you love. I created this sign in South Carolina when I was on vacation one year. It took the main precedence in my freshman dorm room, hanging over my bed alongside a photo collage board.

9. Signs that aren't even mine.

This isn't technically my sign, but I did buy it so whatever. I bought it as a Christmas present for my mom because it reminds me of her dad (and my papa), who passed away in 2016.

10. Those I haven't technically purchased...

But I will someday!

And those are 10 signs my inner Joanna Gaines absolutely loves!

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
