Meteorologist Birthday Party

 Hello everyone, happy Good Friday! 

Today I am sharing photos from my grandfather's meteorologist-themed birthday party. It was basically the same thematically as this weather party from years back, but I would like to think this one was greatly improved or at least more stylish. 

Here are a few key details:

-The rain cloud was made with metallic silver balloons at Walmart along with translucent/iridescent gift straw stuff I came across near the balloons (it was $0.98 though). 

-The blue balloons also came from Walmart. I draped dancing ribbons I had on hand over the board, so that is what the white cloth is. 

-The clouds and words are all made from a bag of cotton (also from Walmart). 

-The donuts and cinnamon buns came from Dollar General. The pottery and dishes I had on hand (handmade years back). 

-I painted the poster with regular acrylic paints and hot-glued the words on. 

-For the party favors, I bought packs of three notebooks for $1 at Walmart, designed different weather and weather forecast templates on Canva to print and cut out, then glued them on as the notebook covers. I added mini flashlights that were bought in bulk on Amazon. 

I hope you enjoyed!

Here is a verse to close with today in honor of Good Friday if you want a powerful word to reflect on: "But He was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed." (Isaiah 53:5, NLT). A powerful lyrics quote that seems relevant goes something like this: Even though you may be in a storm, that does not mean the storm is in you. (Mark 4.) 

Thank you for visiting!
