So here is what I ended up doing. I was using a black backdrop (two twin sheets that I took the ends of the seam out of to make like a curtain - $4 each at Walmart), added to my already-owned Backdrop Frame that I used with my photography years ago.
I printed a copy of the Pampered Chef (stacked version) logo from CC's Promoting your Business section. It printed out to a full 8x11 piece of paper. I had that blown up to 2'x3' at OfficeMax. I put some poster board on the back of it to give it rigidity and then laminated it. It wasn't perfect, but it worked. It would have been REALLY cheap had I remembered my OfficeMax discount card the day I had it laminated (I barely remembered the banner- it was a stop I was making while going somewhere else). But as it was, it was still a little less than buying a banner new and then not getting it in time.
As you can see in the photo, I added a little sign on the bottom that says "Eating out is expensive....eating with family is priceless! Our products make it painless!"
It turned ok - as long as you didn't look TOO CLOSELY at it and see a few wrinkles in the laminating...which, for the cost, I should have squawked at, but that's not my style. I'd rather gripe in private later!
For now, it works.
