I've been thinking about getting or making some sort of signage to put on my mailbox post. I figured it would be a good way to let the neighbors know about me. Plus Dad has a home based business that brings a lot of people out this way.

Anyhow, I'm not quite sure what to make it out of. (I guess for summer time I could use tag board or something but I'm kind of wanting something a little more weatherproof).

Also, what to put on it... All I've come up with is
Pampered Chef
My name
Number and/or
website.

Ideas?? :confused: :chef:

TIA
 
I think Name, Phone # & website.
Keep it simple and read-able!
 
If you know someone with one of those embroidery sewing machines you could try having them make a flag to hang--just hang on a garden stake next to your mailbox.
 
Be sure to check the advertising guidelines... you'll need to list that your an Independent Consultant for The Pampered Chef... not just Pampered Chef itself. ;)
 
And I know with the car decals you have to have the merrill decal underneath it, so Colleen is right, check with advertising details.
