Back-to-school banners
It’s been a big week here. My youngest daughter left for University yesterday. The oldest left Wednesday.
Without her knowing it, I snuck a card into her luggage with this back-to-school banner tucked inside. This ‘yaaasss’ banner designed by Paper Trail Diary captures how much my girl has accomplished this past year. So proud of her.
Happy Birthday banner
You may recognize the name Paper Trail Diary, as the talented Jessica is my co-host in the quarterly Book Lover Postcard Swaps. She is based in Toronto and has recently opened up shop on Etsy and crafts these most adorable banners.
Send more mail banner
Of course you know that the send more mail banner is my favorite. At $10 a pop, these banners are perfect for that special occasion (think letter writing socials) or just because you need to celebrate back-to-school too.
Read More banner
My son, a Montreal Canadians hockey fan, loves to read. I think Jessica’s choice of book patterned paper for this read more banner is so perfect. I may have to steal this when he isn’t looking.
Do you have a favorite quote or title you would love to see made into a banner?
Jessica can do it. She offers custom banners for exactly that. In fact, if you leave a comment below, by September 7, 2018, and your name will be entered into a draw for a banner of your choice, including the option to customize one. Winner will be notified via email.
Cathy
Agree with Joan….,You go girl! I know just who I would send it to.
Barb
Hi Cathy, I agree too. Love that option. Maybe order one for yourself too? 😉
Elaine
I should get the Read More banner for myself, it is amazing how time can get away from me.
I would send Happy Birthday off to the far away child.
I love how you introduce me to so many creatives! Thanks, Barb.
Barb
Elaine, I need a reading space for me too, no distractions, my phone not allowed. 😉 That far away child would be lucky to receive that sweet banner. Thanks for always being a ‘fan’ of what goes on here at ritewhileucan. So appreciative.
Roseanne Felago
It’s a toss-up between Send More Mail, and Read More. Love them both!
Barb
Hard choice for me too, Roseanne. I was thinking ‘long live snail mail’ would be great too.
Norma Becerra
Thank you for sharing this note about Banners. They are inspiring and portable. I would love to enter my name for one.

Hi there Norma, So glad you like the banners. Me too! Thanks for reading along here. Consider yourself entered.
Joan Hildebrand
How about “You go girl”, or “Just do it”
Nothing that creative but…
Barb
Love the ‘You go girl’ idea, Joan. Creative in my books 😉
Valerie
Fall is back to school and also the start of college football season in the US! My favorite phrase right now is GO BLUE! 〽️🏈 Would make a great banner for tailgate Saturday! Cute idea with the book pages! 😍

Valerie, Fabulous idea for cheering on your team!
