everyone came! i felt like it was christmas. at one point there were more than 35 people in our second level. which lead me to thinking we have to get the basement together to make more room. one of the things i was looking forward to when getting a house was having gatherings. i love when all the family is together. and every time i always think, i'm so lucky and grateful. everyone brought delicious food and we had four desserts! see i told you i'm lucky :)
i wanted the birthday people to be recognized so i made a banner with photos. the banner i made from scrap paper i had from a previous project. michael's sells these wonderful design paper packs that have a variations of designs on them. because i had so much paper left i made each square double sided that way i could mix up the design for future uses as well. i wanted removable letters so i can change the message each time i use it. i cut circles out of bristol board and glued printed letters on them. the circles were attached to the squares with removable qlue dots from michael's. punched holes at the top of the square and threaded ribbon through for hanging. i also added left over ribbon i had on each side to add more color. lastly i printed photos of the birthday people in a circle shape, thought it tied in well with the circle letters. we have a huge wall that divides the dinning room and kitchen that eventually will be knocked down to open the second level even more. but for now it was perfect to be able to hang the entire banner in one row. i think i'll make it my theme wall when we have gatherings until we knock it down.
