Thank you for visiting my website.  I have been handcrafting and selling woodcrafts on ebay and the internet for approximately 10 years, specializing in yard art / lawn decorations.    
 
All of my crafts are handmade.  I cut them out of 1/2" or 3/4" birch or oak plywood, sand, primer, and paint them with at least two coats of Delta Ceramcoat acrylic paint.  They are all sealed several times with a good quality non-yellowing sealer to protect them from the different weather elements.  All of my outside decorations will be delivered to you with a metal rod in the bottom for smaller items, or conduit pipe, attached to the back of the decoration with pipe clamps, for large or heavy items.  You can expect your purchase to be of good quality that will bring you many years of enjoyment. 
 
Please feel free to click on the links at the bottom of this page and browse the pages to find something you like.  If you would like to place an order or have questions on any of the items, please email me at Marlene@yardcardsurprise.biz.  I would love to hear from you. 
  
I will be adding new items so check back often!  Don't forget to refresh your browser if you have visited before so that you will see the changes!! :) 
 
PAYMENT INFO:  I accept the following methods of payment:  personal checks (held for 10 days for bank clearance), money orders, cashier checks and credit cards through any of these online services:  PAYPAL, EBAY PAYMENTS, or BIDPAY. 
 
DELIVERY TIMES & SHIPPING INFO:  I make my crafts as they are ordered.  They are made in the order that they are received.  Delivery time is normally between 7 - 14 days.  Orders for holiday items should be placed well in advance.  If delivery time is a concern, contact me and I will provide you with an estimated delivery date prior to you placing the order. Otherwise, I will provide an approximate delivery date upon receipt of your order. Please be aware that this date could possibly change by a couple of days, sometimes earlier - sometimes later, due to unforseen circumstances.  However, I stay in contact with my customers via email from the time their order is received until the time it has been delivered to their home.   Feel free to email me as often as you would like for an updated status of your order. 
 
Your decoration will be shipped in corrugated cardboard and the item(s) will be securely bubble wrapped inside to avoid scratches or other types of damage during shipping.  I do not require that you purchase insurance but we do advise it.  I cannot be responsible for lost or damaged packages once the package leaves our hands.  I do require a "Delivery Confirmation" receipt that will cost the buyer .40 which we include in the shipping rate. 
 
I normally ship USPS Priority Mail or UPS, depending on the size of the item.  Some of the decorations must be shipped UPS due to the large size. Email me with your address and the item(s) you are interested in if you would like a shipping cost quoted prior to your order.  If you have a preference as to how your item is shipped, please let me know. 
 
Thank you, 
Marlene
