Do you mind sharing what font you used for your ‘wish’ banner? Love these 🙂
How do you make the letters so big??? I love this idea but can’t find an option for letters this large.
Thank you so much for always sharing your ideas with us!

Would someone please show me where the tutorial is because I love this but am clueless. I would love to make this to greet the guests who will be enjoying what may be their only holiday dinner of the season. thank you so much
