Today’s a good day! It’s Friday and 70+ degrees outside. The Jayhawks are in town playing in March Madness. And one of my favorite people in the world is moving into the neighborhood as I type.
I put together this banner this morning and put it on their new house’s front porch while they were at the closing.
I thought it was a fun way to show them our excitement, welcome them to the neighborhood, and let the rest of the neighbors get to know their family name.
I did a similar one for my 20-year reunion last summer. You can kinda see it in the background here.
And here it is later in the night.
They are so simple and kinda folksy, which I like.
Seriously, a few minutes to print out the letters at 400-point type and some time at Kinko’s (now known as FedEx Office, but I don’t agree with that so I still call it Kinko’s) to buy colored card stock and use their trimmer and glue stick, and you’re good to go. I hung them both with curling ribbon and used toe-nail clippers to make the cuts.
That bit of brilliance came from some blog that I read regularly but have done searches on all of them and can’t find the post. Grrr . . .
Anyway, I’ve been seriously giddy all day with excitement so I wanted to share. Here’s to you having a Banner Day!
