Here in Idaho

Alright. I get to choose the banner, because I’m the creative *genius* behind the banner. You might ask yourself, “How does one become a banner *genius*?” Well, it’s not really something you train for. There are no academics perched in their ivory towers, ooozing wisdom to eager pupils.

No, this is something I was born for. Something I knew from an early age. While other kids were out riding bikes or playing with cars, I was studying the banner masters from days of old. People like Cecil Dauay of 18th century France, Aidan McGowan - the renowned Irish banner maker, and James Williamson - the first of the American banner masters.

Banner making is in my soul, and my only hope it is reflected in my craft.

Oh, and Mrs. Chicky won. If you can’t see the new banner press ctrl+F5. This will reload the banner for you.

That is a great tag line!!! I love it and it sooo fits.

The only is I don’t care for the font. But that is just me being picky! LOL!

You should see the young lads lined up at our door, hoping to apprentice in banner making with Will. I say, “Gentleman! Away with you! The Banner Master is taking no pupils!” Then they trudge away, their hopes dashed and their spirits as low as their below-the-knee knickerbockers.

The Banner Master does not trifle with young lads. Not today. Not ever.

Dammit, Kristi, I’m not feeling good and I just laughed so hard I almost barfed. Cut that out.

Joyful blogging lady, what browser do you use? Are there any other parts of the site you can’t see? Pics, smilies, stuff like that?

Angel, DO NOT QUESTION THE BANNER MASTER’S CHOICE OF FONTS! THIS WILL NOT BE TOLERATED!

That is all.

I love the tagline, but the banner is the same one. Kristi’s face from the eyes up. Is it supposed to be different??

Flipflop, the eyes are always the same. But I try to change out the tagline every couple of weeks. It’s my little contribution to society.
