You've seen the signs before....Home is where the *insert branch of service here* sends us. Well, we didn't want a generic one, we wanted to make our own to put up different pictures of the different places we've lived and so forth. And while our sign isn't as "neat and perfect" as the ones you can buy online, or at a store, we like it because we made it and each place means something different to us. We got all our supplies from Hobby Lobby (again, my favorite store ever), except for some spray paint from Lowe's. Here is what we have so far....the one for our next duty station will be made after we get there and get to experience the area and what it has to offer (besides lots of snow!!). P.S. You can't tell from this picture, but the dates for Fort Riley are painted in purple....a symbol of all the K-State friends we made while there! ;-)
And then my sister in law Lydia made us some really awesome location signs for Christmas! They go perfectly with our sign, and now surround it on our wall. They will probably all stay together as we move on, and she will have to continue making them as the years pass so they stay the same design. And check out her stuff too on her blog at:
