Hello and Happy Mid May!! Misty @Mommyofkidz here sharing a new project with you, while all of my kids are out in the middle of the Gulf of America, living it up on a cruise ship. They actually left the Saturday before Mother's Day, and only one thought to give me a gift prior to leaving! Kids!!
Anyway, while they did not want MOM to join them on this cruise since they are all "adults" now, they still wanted Mom for other things. I am taking care of animals, house sitting, and don't get me started on all the things they needed from Mom BEFORE the cruise! LOL They may be grown, but they still depend on MOM for so much! Can any of you relate??
One of the things that they asked of me was to make signs for their cabin doors on the cruise. Could they have done it themselves? Absolutely. WOULD they have done it themselves? Absolutely NOT.
SO, I did what any self respecting Mom would do...I made them BEG!! LOL! And then I went to the Really Reasonable Ribbon Store and started putting ideas together. I landed on this Netting Trim Ribbon because it made me think of coral and sea life and fishing nets.
However, when I told them my idea of a beach theme, they all agreed that was boring. UGH! the image in my head was not going to work so I switched gears. Rather than a couple of cute cruise signs, I made several smaller Obnoxious signs! used the Netting ribbon to hang them from hooks. I also made a door "header" for them...and used the gorgeous 1.5 inch Royal Blue Gingham ribbon to "tie it all together" and add a touch of femininity. Not sure it it worked...but hey, I tried! They all liked them...even the boys. Skye said they all got "Girly Cocktails" but those margaritas don't look too girly...right?
