A couple in our small group just had their first baby, and ended up needing to stay at the hospital in Denver for almost four weeks before they could come home with him. As you can imagine, it was a trying time for them, full of ups and downs. Our small group decided to get into their house right before their homecoming, pack their freezer with meals, and hang a welcome home sign. To get the key, one of us called them and asked if we could borrow their Wii while they were gone (they must be thinking, how could someone ask to borrow our Wii at a time like this???). I ended up making the following banner after perusing some ideas on the internet. It was easy and turned out really cute- I plan to do it again sometime!
Here are some of the supplies I used... the scraps leftover were from after I cut the patterned paper into triangles (they were those huge square papers you find at Hobby Lobby or Archiver's). I cut the letters out of the card stock.
Pretty ribbon...
After using double sided tape to stick the letters to the triangles, I was able to toss everything into a bag and bring it to their house...
I hope they feel very welcomed when they get home!! Oh, and if you're reading this, take a second to pray for their sweet baby, Landon, that he'll continue to recover from the surgery he had to have, and that he'll make more and more progress!!
