I have been trying all week to remember who gave me this handmade pin to wear during Brady's first deployment. Basically, it was a wooden heart, painted to look like camouflage, with a yellow ribbon and Brady's name. Well, not only do I not recall the girl's name, I also do not recall where I put my Brady pin.
Rather than fret about it, I searched ETSY.com for someone who made them, but had ZERO luck. Not to fear, I've become more crafty or DIY if I want to sound cool, so I decided to see what I could come up with on my own. I knew painting camo was out of the question--I'm no artist, just ask my students who have seen me draw pictures to explain a Spanish word--but I am pretty efficient with mod-podge and a glue gun. Here's what I did:
I am going to try to make a many as I can before Brady leaves and hand out blank ones to family members at the send off. I know that the one given to me was something I cherished so much on both previous deployments. I plan to begin wearing mine on my lanyard at work on Monday.
XOXO,
