No Soliciting

So, there's this sign that I've seen around Facebook and Pinterest. It says, "No Soliciting. We are too broke to buy anything; we know who we're voting for; we have found Jesus. Seriously, unless you are selling Thin Mints, Please go away!"  It typically appears in white lettering on a black background.
I have been wanting to graph a cross stitch sampler for it for a while. My ultimate vision is to use pastels on black Aida. Last night, I did it in KG-Chart. I'm pretty happy with it.
I used this great book from Better Homes and Gardens called Cross-Stitcher's Big Book of Alphabets & Borders. It got great reviews and I got a really good deal on Amazon.
I had previously graphed it in my notebook using various fonts I had found around the internet, but I discovered that they were disproportionate, so it wasn't going to work out. The great thing about this book is that most of the alphabets are generally the same size, and they coordinate well with each other. I also used several of the fun borders in the book. I chose colors mostly according to what was used in the book, but obviously you can use any colors you like. I've linked them here, and I'm very interested in other's opinions.
Enjoy.
