Banner Love

Hello, my name is Maggie and I am a banner-aholic. I don't care what it's made out of or what color it is, I love them all! Every time I go to decorate for any occasion I always seem to work a banner in there somehow. I'm not sure what the appeal is, I can't explain it, but I am truly obsessed! In my book you cannot go wrong with any type of banner, whether it's made of paper or fabric or anything else you can scrounge up and glue or tie to some sort of string.

Here are just a few examples, some are of my own design and some I fell in love with on other blogs. 

When I planned on redecorating my daughter's room I first made a banner for her birthday party and then planned the entire redo based on the banner.

I designed this banner to compliment some tablescapes for an event at my favorite crafting retreat Whitworth Ranch in Scurry, Texas.  The retreat is honored to be the location of a creative event for a lovely group of ladies. The event is know as the Beauty in Blue.

This will be a quick post. I know, promises, promises! Anyhoo, my sister and I met our friend Stacy out at Whitworth Ranch Retreat last weekend so we could see the behind the scenes set up for the big event they are having called Beauty in Blue. It was looking pretty good, but she had plans to make the host a little something as a thank you and the time had gotten away from her so she asked if I could take over that project. Of course I said yes, cause I like a challenge. Why was it a challenge? I had 2 days to get it completed amongst all my other stuff I have going on. You know, kids, home, job, running a business. Not to mention the fact that I am not that savvy when it comes to things with a "western" motif. Alas, I did my best and here are the final results. Let me know what you think.
