Christmas Room Tour, 2021

 Hey everyone, this is super random, but going through photos I realized I never shared my Christmas decorations. So here is either a very late or a very early Christmas room tour (from 2021). I decorated the mirror with hot-glued plants from outside. They are still holding on and look golden despite being dead! I added a bow and bell from a Dollar Tree pack of bells. I made the banner out of cut and tied strips of fabric. Most of the decorations came from thrift stores, others were gifts or décor I had from previous years. I wanted a very simple, minimalist feel with blush pink, burgundy, gold, and neutral brown colors. 

I hope you enjoyed!

Jacob's Music-Themed Graduation Party

 Hello everyone, here is one of many, many events from a while back (this was from June) I am trying to get caught up on. This was a surprise graduation party for my brother themed around his passion, music. It was not as big and grand as I hoped, but I did what I could. I had tons of help from friends and family who deserve credit for many of the great puns, who helped with the photo display, favors, displays, balloons...actually everything. (Thank you Jessica, Bernice, Robert, Edwin, Mont, Lillie, Morgan and Hayden!) They did a great job of setting up. I was foolish and made the mistake of putting out a record to sign (and forgot the pen to sign it with) in the sun, so that melted into a weird,  crumpled shape. I also used candles as part of the party favors. Shockingly, they too melted in the approximately ninety-eight degree weather and ruined the favor bags. The beautiful cupcakes came from our local Cornelia Sugartopia (I don't remember if the toppers were from somewhere else, though). Despite some chaos and mistakes on my part, I think my brother had a great time. The color scheme was mainly gold, dark blue, with some added pops of dark red and black. 

Thank you for visiting! I hope this at least gives you some pun ideas for any music graduates you might know!
