WooHoo! It’s a summer, summer, summertime giveaway. Yes, my dearest, darlingest blogging friends of the universe–it’s a summertime giveaway–and giveaways are splendid. It would be most excellent if this post actually preceded the summer season–and in some cases, it will. [High side heel click.] That would mean you would place the prize on your front door and ta-da your house/apartment/dwelling place is decorated. Chawcka-lawka-boom. From my vantage point, sitting in a hotel room in the middle of Beijing–summer is right smack dab here. Spring has left the building–and I am feeling all melty.
Now, don’t be leaving comments about how much of a winey-hiney I am. Don’t be a meanie, and please don’t be a little miss/mister bossy moo cow. Yes, I know what hot is. Yes, I know what humidity is [long, deliberate exhale] but I forget until I walk off of a plane and my hair immediately springs and sproings into a voluminous mess the circumference of a beach ball. [And it’s not pretty.]
Check this out. [Focus on the number in the upper right hand corner.]
That is the inside [as in with air-conditioning which cannot mean the same thing in Beijing as it does in the house I call home] temperature. 82.5 degrees. Thankfully, it was slightly cooler last night at 81 degrees of “I think I’m going to die cry but I’m too tired to” degrees Fahrenheit. [Thankfully, my eye.]
I digress.
It’s a ‘Welcome to the Front Door –Summer Giveaway’ sponsored by ADORNit. By ‘sponsored’ I mean they are the one’s who provided the giveaway gift. Well–they provided part of it.
I provided part of it as well.

I started making these fabulous door banners for two reasons.
Reason #1–The person in charge of choosing a front door for our home when it was being built made a ji-nor-mous error in judgement when selecting the one she they did. [This is not an exercise in pointing fingers.] The front door looked great. However, when it came down to practicality and [here’s the part mas importante para moi] privacy–it wasn’t working.
Here’s the front door with one of my first attempts at blocking the view through the front door window with a wreath.
No.
Blah.
Reason #2–Front porches are a lovely place to decorate. They can even become an extension of the front entryway. Splendid.
This door banner is the second part of an A-DoOr-AbLe Welcome to the Front Door Collection. It’s a brand new series of door banners available through ADORNit that will welcome friends and family to your home with generous amounts of color, texture, and a bit of whimsy.
Tun-tun-tun-tun-tun-tah!
Here’s the top part of the banner.
Here’s a section of the adorable sunflowers from the bottom of the banner.
And then there’s this.
That’s my front porch all decked out in fabulous.
The door banner is made from a kit.
The kit is the giveaway–except–it won’t look like a kit–because the kit is completed. It’s done. For real. You don’t have to do anything. Except hang it.
[That was my part of the giveaway–putting it together.]
