What would you put on a brick?

[hermione]

C's school is doing a fundraiser - selling bricks for a new walkway. Do I just put C's name?  Three lines up to 12 spaces per line.

Also, there's a family fun night in November and each room creates a basket of donated items for the raffle. C's teachers chose the them, "Basket of Cheer" and at curriculum night this evening distributed a sign up list for booze. So now I'm bringing in a bottle of flavored vodka in one day soon.

For a school? Hmm maybe a name if a book or an author? Favorite line of dds booK?

Oh the places
You'll go!
Her Name 2015

That may be cheesy, but it's what I'd do.

This is exactly what I thought of but I think the first line is one too many spaces.

I didn't count the actual spaces - whoops!

I would probably shorten it to just "The places" or maybe "O the places" though that last one's a bit of a stretch, lol.

does she have fave books you could crib a line from?

This is dumb and makes no sense, right?

Part of me thinks it's cute, and part of me thinks it's trying to hard.  (Sorry!)

Can it be any font? We had C write his name for his brick the last biannual sale at school.

This was going to be my suggestion! I like how it's a walkway and the quote implies movement.

I think it's cute - it makes me think she likes reading and since her life "journey" kind of starts with school I think it works.

Maybe dorky, but if you want something short and literary, could you use a Harry Potter spell with a positive meaning?

Like:

Ascendio!
C...
2015

(The ascendio spell propels the caster high into the air, so it seems like it has a nice "fly high" connotation. Plus it's apparently Latin for "to climb" which seems like a nice wish for a child. FYI, I just looked this up--I have not memorized all the HP spells.)

Ok, I sort of love this!

I think I'd do it. I like that the reference would be lost on those not in the know but has an independent meaning as a Latin verb. It is basically saying "Climb high, C!" but in Harry Potter speak.

H wants to do:

Mischief
Managed!

[bluelikejazz]

Since we're on the HP theme, what about 'accio knowledge!' Or something?

[bowies]

OUCH

Mischief Managed is cute!
