I spent weeks preparing for my sister's 40th birthday party, which was Saturday. I think everything went pretty well, except for me needing to go to the emergency room to fix my finger that I nearly cut off while trying to trim the ends off of some flowers. Oh well! I will survive! I think everyone liked my poofs (nod to Martha Stewart) and my mini chalkboards.I wanted the colors to be bright and cheerful, to match my sister's outlook on life. She is a beautiful woman who is classy, elegant, and fun and I really wanted the theme of this party to reflect those qualities. I am so proud of my sister! She has accomplished so much in her life. She is a devoted sister, daughter, friend, wife and mother and she is also pursuing her PhD in Psychology.
Everything looks great! Love the chalkboards! You worked really hard, I can tell!
ReplyDeleteouch! I hope you're feeling better by now.
Happy birthday to your sis!

Wow!! It looks incredible! I especially love the absence of black balloons and tomb stones!!! :-) Those black board markers are fantastic. Did you make those??
ReplyDeleteLouAnne, thanks for stopping by. Yes, I made the blackboard food markers. I bought a package of wooden plaques from Michael's , primed them and painted them with chalkboard paint. Now I can use them again for the next party.
ReplyDeleteI bet you couldn't wait to display those chalkboard labels, so cute! Good for you!
ReplyDeleteI love how your chalkboard labels turned out.
