Growing up my aunt used to have every horrible piece of country crafty wall art hanging in her house. I can deal with roosters and chickens, but when "If you sprinkle when you tinkle, be discreet and wipe the seat" comes out, I head for the hills. That said, it doesn't mean I didn't memorize it from looking at it every week. Encourage your kids to memorize something more fruitful, like the Gettysburg Address perhaps?
Lara of Less Cake More Frosting primed and painted over a piece of inexpensive metal wall art from a hobby shop and added the words to the Gettysburg Address in vinyl that she cut out on her Silhouette.
It's far more attractive than any of those old country crafty signs and has a far more educational meaning to it. Check out Lara's full tutorial on Less Cake More Frosting

Am I missing something? This looks like the Gettysburg Address to me.
Yup, definitely Abe Lincoln, not Thomas Jefferson....
Yep. That's the Gettysburg Address. Here's the Declaration of Independence: http://www.earlyamerica.com/earlyamerica/freedom/doi/text.html
gosh this post makes me sad. Both the Gettysburg Address and the opening of the Declaration of Independence are such beautifly written and inspirational pieces but to not immediately recongnize the difference?? Even if one did not know the difference (again this makes me so sad) the original blogger who did the project clearly stated this was the Gettysburg Address numerous times in her post. Attention to detail would have prevented this embarassing mistake.
Thank you to all for your keen eye, obviously my brain thought one thing and typed another. Even if history wasn't my best subject in school, this was still a silly mistake and has been corrected.
