AND all of the credit in the design of this banner goes to

my demonstrator friend from Texas- Amy Storrie.

As she made a banner like this, showed it to me

& I just knew I had to make one too! 

Here is a photo of Jimmy, Amy, me & Deke

when they came to visit & stay with us in September.

I added my banner to a flocked wreath that I bought at Hobby Lobby.

And I have my wreath hanging in our family room.

I just LOVE IT!
