Stace-I think that sounds pretty and creative.... this is your scarf. We have moms who are putting names, pictures and stuff on their "yellow" scarves,,,. We just want to stick out and be different so we can look around and spot all us "N4M's" , I mean not to many normal people would chose YELLOW to wear. hahahahahaha
SO have fun with it!

I wasn't on planning to do a scarf because yellow wouldn't go with my outfit but I figured I could work it in haha, and navyformoms has helped me through a lot since my husband left so why not "represent" :)
