My neighbor came to the door last night in panic, saying she had to make a coaches gift and needed my help...she said I was the only one that she knew that would have craft stuff to help...go figure.
She came over with the picture and this is what I came up with...I had just bought the frame for my son but I can buy him another. I googled all the embellishments because I had no crew or rowing things. I had the pennant banner already punched for my sons so I just added the letters she needed.
I always try to help out my neighbors when I can...I am tired today but feel good in my heart that I was able to help out a friend in need.

WOW...is your neighbor lucky to have such a crafty neighbor like you with "lots of stuff"....and good ideas too. This is great and probably impressed the coach no end! Great work, Sue.

Oh, what a good friend you are! This came out awesome, she must have been so happy. You would never know it was a last minute project. That's the sign of a true crafter- you have enough stuff on hand for several last minute projects! I love the look of the banner and the crossed oars.
