Homecoming 2012

On Saturday, my son attended his first Homecoming dance at the high school.  One of his friend's parents hosted a sit down dinner at their house for 30 Freshman.  I was asked to make the table centerpieces for the dinner tables.  Here is what I came with:

I used the Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge to cut the flowers and attached them to styrofoam balls with pins and buttons.  I used George for the banner and Varsity Letter for the letters/numbers.  They were a lot more tedious than I had originally expected, but I am thrilled with how they turned out.  Here is a picture of them in the room:

And here is a picture of my not so baby anymore boy:

The kids had a great time and the food and company were fabulous.  TFL



A Finished Project

Well, I finally finished a project that I started. Usually, I start them and get to a point and don't finish. My friend Debbie's son turned 9 yesterday and they are having a Nerf party for him on Sunday. I thought it would be fun to make her a centerpiece for her table for the party. I saw samples of centerpieces on the Cricut messageboard and decided to make my own. I mainly used my Celebrations cartridge. And the best thing is, next year, all that has to be changed is the number! I hope she likes it.
