I've given family signs as shower gifts and engagement gifts but never purchased one for myself, so I decided to whip one up DIY style.  It was very inexpensive and easy--just grab a canvas, favorite paint colors and a paint pen and you're all set!

Thanks to McKay over at Oatmeal Lace, I was recently introduced to Deep South Magazine via Twitter, which is full of lovely, useful musings on life in the South.  This past week they published their gift guides and there are several great gifts for all kinds of people on your list.  Here's a sneak peek at their four gift guides--but click over to find some southern gifting inspiration!





Happy Shopping!
