    I thought the same thing when I saw the before pic…I LOVE the wonky O. Its quirky and unexpected. 🙂

    I like the “O” lopsided. I think it fits the theme of the sign. Hearts have a way of taking you here and then there quite unexpectedly.

  7. Christine

    For sure wonky O. It just makes more sense. You don’t have to follow the expected path. Wonky is always good…….except for teeth.

  12. Kate

    Wonky! for sure. It is so much more creative that way. I mean anyOne can have a straight O. ha ha And I too thought it was intentional. That’s what made me like it so much.

  13. Melissa

    Mmm hmmm…straighten the O – I love the message for itself. Sometimes it’s good to keep it simple!

    I vote for wonky! Life isn’t perfect! It gives it a certain charm. When the Amish make a quilt they always put a mistake in it- since no one is perfect in their eyes except God! Quite a nice sentiment really- even if one isn’t religious!

    Honestly, I like it either way. OR if you want something wonky on purpose you could the same with another saying. This doesn’t really apply to house stuff but the phrase “progress not perfection” comes to mind with one of the E’s in perfection being off kilter.

    I like the wonky O! It complements the idea of following your own path and daring to be different 🙂

    I like the wonky “O”. It’s a subtle homage to the quote, in that following your heart you sometimes get off track or mess up a few times. 🙂

    I’m in the wonky camp too. Which is weird, ’cause I’m all about symmetry and a tad OCD about things in the right space. But the wonky just brings so much whimsy and feeling to it!

  30. Tracey

    Wonky for sure…why do you think you found it that way? Serendipity!! The universe is speaking to you.

  31. Ann

    I like it glued straight. I do like the look of the wonky but do not find it fitting to the quote. I say keep this one straight and do the wonky on another sign sometime.

    I like it wonky. It adds some quirk and extra personality – that path you’re following might have some unexpected twists and turns. Most paths aren’t perfectly straight. =)

  34. Jane

    Wonky for sure…it has that bit of surprise and makes you remember that lifes path goes in different directions for different reasons….Love it!

  36. Shawna

    Fix it! It would drive me crazy to have to walk past that every day! It’s like when a picture is hanging crooked…drives me crazy!

    Wow!
    You’ve opened a can of worms!
    What you are going to have to do is ask each visitor and adjust it
    accordingly 🙂
    I’m wonky all the way!

  41. Jessica

    I love the straightened-out “O!” I thought the crooked “O” was intential at first too, but found the wonkiness to be distracting from the whole of the sign and message.

  44. CeCe

    Straight up…….. but I am an old woman and the word wonky is wonky enough for me!.. Love your blog, Love your husband’s phtography class!

  45. Nicole @ Post Grad

    I’m going to be honest, as much of a perfectionist as I tend to be, I absolutely loved the wonky “o” so I’m glad it’s back. The imperfection just makes it that much better. 🙂

  48. Arli

    Yeah, I’m with the group who thought the wonky O was the way it was supposed to be….and then it got “fixed’! Wonky O makes it interesting!

  50. Donna Young

    I am also a bit OCD, and I like the wonky O. I also thought it was intentional when I first saw the sign (before) and was a little sad when it was all upright (after). Here is what I think:

    If an “O” does not keep pace with its companions…perhaps it is because it hears a different drummer…let it step to the music which it hears, however measured, or far away!
