Trick or Treats

Happy day after Halloween!  We attended a family Halloween Party last night.  I made some special treats for my son's friends.  Sour cream containers filled with m-and-m's and pillow boxes filled with smarties and a pencil.  Driving home yesterday, I got the idea to stick the pencils into a piece of styrofoam and layer the sour cream containers around the outside.  Turned out nice.  TFL

Retirement Party

I have been hard at work the past few days trying to create a few requested decorations for a teacher's retirement dinner. The them is "journey" for the journey they are about to embark on. They wanted the centerpieces to be a compass so I created this paper compass. Instead of the normal North South East & West, the tabs say Read a Book, Go on a Cruise, Volunteer, Visit Old Friends, Learn a New Skill, Set Off for a New Adventure, Pursue Your Passions & Take a Nap. I also created more sour cream containers with a travel paper that I just love. The tag says Best Wishes for Your Retirement. There is also going to be a joint dinner with the Science and Art teachers so I also threw in these frogs with artist brush and pallette which I created with Create a Critter and Locker Talk.

Graduation Part 2

Here are some more decorations that I made for my nephew's graduation. I couldn't believe how easy the sour cream containers were to make.
