Memorial Day 2013 ~ A Tribute to our Soldiers

ibdesignsusa — Wed, 22 May 2013 16:02:58 +0000

With Memorial Day next Monday I wanted to do a post in tribute to our soldiers. I found the following poem that I wanted to share

.Memorial Day Poem: The Valor of Soldiers
Tom Harrington

On the last Monday of May,
Veterans of all creed, religion, and race
Are Remembered on Memorials Day

While the United States celebrates,
We must remember the valor, courage, and
Patriotism of all fallen soldiers.

These soldiers are just like you and me,
But are fighting with valor and courage
To maintain peace and harmony.

Thank you to all the brave soldiers and
Our Founding Fathers,
Have a great Memorials Day!

Wishing my friends and customers a very happy and safe holiday!

Nautical Home Decor~ Anchors Aweigh

As you know I love nautical decor and love anchors. Thought it might be fun to highlight some of the clever ways people use them for decorating. On one of my Pinterest Boards titled My Nautical Style I have pinned quite a few anchors and wanted to show off just a few here.

Your Pets Name in Signal Flags~ Woof or Meow

ibdesignsusa — Tue, 07 May 2013 15:49:01 +0000

I had so much fun putting this blog post together. My friend Enchanted Seashells gave me the idea about pets names and I took it from there. Pets are a member of the family and there are so many creative names out there whether you have a dog or cat. I think it would be kinda cool to have a horizontal or vertical banner that spelled out in signal flags your pets name. They can’t read it but it would make for a unique gift. I ran across this when I was researching a place called ~The Nautical Dog.

They have lots of great ideas. Here is a signal flag dog collar

Also Style Newport had some great pet items on this page. A Dog’s Life

Love the dog and cat bowls that they have!

Below is a few pictures that I put together for this post. The first picture is cats playing with our signal flags.

Here is a dog bone and spells out MAX in signal flags.

As a example I put this horizontal signal flag banner that spells out OSCAR.

Here’s a fun picture I put together for HOLLY the cat!

Lastly here is a pic of our Signal Flag Alphabet!

Check out our Translator page on IB Designs, USA to see what your pets name looks like in signal flags

Hope you enjoyed this post as much as I did. Whatever your pets name is we can spell it!
