Reflections Prom & Bridal 🤍

Amanda has expanded Reflections into another space in the Centre Mall, and I had the honor of adding a few finishing touches!

I created this glass sign with vinyl lettering, installed with standoffs, along with a custom etched-glass privacy window featuring an elegant bride with her veil flowing behind her. 👰🏼‍♀️✨

Thank you, Amanda, for trusting Strait Up Signs n Designs with another project!

A little upgrade at The Economy Shop👚🛍️

If you haven’t been to The Economy Shop lately, you might be surprised by just how many name brands you can find there!

I created these two new brand walls to highlight just some of the clothing brands they carry; lululemon, Athleta, Nike, Patagonia, Vuori, Spanx, Under Armour, Adidas, The North Face, Gymshark and MANY more.

With over 10,000 square feet of consignment shopping, there’s a whole lot to look through. Stop in, shop local, save some money, and maybe find one of your favorite brands while you’re at it!

Thanks to The Economy Shop for having Strait Up Signs n Designs help give this area a fresh new look! ❤️

📣 A Little Update from Strait Up Signs n Designs

My total hip replacement has been rescheduled for October 19th.

With surgery coming up, I’ve decided to stop taking new orders for now so I can focus on finishing up the orders I already have before surgery.

I’m not sure exactly when I’ll be back to work afterward, but I’ll keep everyone updated and hope to start easing back into things as soon as I’m able.

Thank you so much for your patience, understanding, and continued support! ❤️

🤎 ROOTED ROASTERY ☕️🌿

I helped Katie with a bulk order of custom resealable, breathable coffee bags, made specifically for Rooted Roastery. I also had the chance to add the lettering to the door of her new roastery location.

Katie has taken Rooted one step further and is now roasting her own coffee right here in Rock Valley! You can find Rooted Roastery at 1507 10th Street, Suite 101.

Stop by and grab a bag, the packaging might look pretty good 😉, but we hear what’s inside is even better!

*Update-I wanted to share an update so everyone knows what’s going on. My mom passed away unexpectedly. Thank you all for the calls, texts, and messages checking in. I am unable to respond to everyone individually but just know I appreciate it. Thank you for your understanding.

Due to an unexpected family emergency, I’m going to be a little less available for the time being.

I will still be checking messages and doing my best to respond as soon as I can, but it may take me a little longer than usual. I ask that you please have some patience and grace with me during this difficult time.

I truly appreciate each and every one of you and your understanding. ❤️

Thank you so much for your patience and support.

A fresh new look for a special milestone! 💙

Creative Living Center, P.C. is celebrating 45 years of serving the community! Since 1981, they’ve continued their mission of “Seeking Wholeness in a Broken World” through mental health counseling services.

I was happy to help refresh their signage for the occasion! I gave the sign structure a fresh coat of paint, added new acrylic address numbers, installed new Lexan faces featuring their updated logo, and carried the new look over to their front entrance with updated door graphics and address.

And of course, we had to show off how great that new sign looks lit up at night! ✨

Congratulations to Creative Living Center on 45 years! 🎉 Thank you for trusting Strait Up Signs n Designs to be a small part of celebrating such a special milestone.

A few aluminum signs I’ve made recently for the City of Rock Valley around the park and Rivers Bend Campground! 🌳⛺

From campground rules and vehicle passes to host signage and other directional/informational signs, aluminum signs are a great option when you need something durable for outdoor use.
