A Hometown Sign for the College Girl
My youngest daughter was preparing to leave for college.
As we prepared for her departure... you know bedding, toiletries, microwave, refrigerator, the works.
She asked me to make her a sign. Yes she did! I didn't even know she knew what I did LOL!
She wanted a sign from our home town and I couldn't have been happier to oblige her.
I got to work creating a wooden canvas from pieces I had in the workshop. I attached 2 pieces of 1x4's using paint sticks, wood glue, and nails.
I used my Silhouette machine to make a stencil then stenciled letters onto the wood using a navy blue craft paint.
In case you don't know, Long Island is part of New York and sticks out into the ocean. We are luckily enough to have some really great beaches all around us.
So along with the car full of things we had to bring to college, she now had a great hometown sign to hang on her wall reminding her of where she comes from and who loves her.
I'm so glad she asked me to make this sign for her.
I really miss this kid!
