I created this stop motion animation in honor of the two greatest moms I know. Happy Mother’s Day, Keri and mom. I’m forever grateful for your love and kindness!

Since we recently launched a new facility at our Pellissippi Campus of Faith Promise Church, we’ve had the opportunity to branch out into designing components for several spaces in the building.

As Heather Burson (our Graphic Designer) and I talked it over, we decided that it would be nice to try to make our outdoor modular building feel a little bit more kid friendly. The inside was great, but the outside of the building needed something to make it look more exciting.

I mocked up some designs and put them into production, and today my dad and I installed the elements (he’s in the pictures, but I promise I was doing the work too – LOL).

Cutting the shim pieces to bring out the pieces to meet with the edge of the door trim. First piece in place. Shim pieces tacked. IMG_9131 Preparing the mounting brackets. IMG_9136 IMG_9138 IMG_9139 IMG_9140 Sign from the back.

I would make several changes if I could do it over again, but I’m still very happy with the overall improvement to the space.

My “little brother” joined us for an evening of trick-or-treating, and even though the Ewoks refused to wear their hoods, it was a great evening.

I couldn’t keep myself from making this comparison.

Thanks, Dad, for being a good sport!
