It's only been a month and a half since we moved into our rental house and I think it's about time we said howdy to our neighbors. I'm an introvert and this is out of my comfort zone, but it is so nice *knowing* your neighbors!
I have briefly met a couple of them, but I still wanted to do more. After our church's women retreat, where we discussed caring for and serving others, I was inspired to do serving spoons as a neighbor gift.

Supplies:
- Gift/Spoons
- Embroidery thread or ribbon
- Scissors
- Hole punch
- Black cardstock
- White stamp pad
- White pencil
- Paper tape
- Alphabet stamp set
I picked these cute spoons up at the Walmart dollar section, 3 spoons for $1! Also, these are pretty much "my colors", so it was perfect. I grabbed a cute alphabet stamp set and paper tape from another $2 bin at Walmart.

I used a white stamp pad to "dirty up" the generic houses I cut out of black cardstock. Then I stamped "HELLO NEIGHBOR" onto them. I embellished with the paper tape and a white pencil. On the back I wrote "Please let us know if there is any way we can serve you! - The Adams"
To attach the note to the spoons I simply punched a hole in the paper and used contrasting embroidery thread to tie it on.
I hope to deliver them soon, spark some conversation, and maybe even make some good relationships with our current neighbors!
