Our oldest daughter graduated last night. We had planned a party at the park - rented a shelter and everything - and it was COLD yesterday! So we commandeered the food pantry and set out to make it as nice as possible....as nice as it's possible to fix up what used to be a garage. ;)
Decorations were silver, black and purple. With diploma accents. And books. You know, because Emma's all about books. The books are actually a set she was supposed to read before she was finished with high school, but I needed to have the party before my sister's kids head to OK to spend the summer with their dad, so she didn't quite finish these books. Perhaps she will someday...
The cupcake stand was a donation to the food pantry. The lady who donated it said it was a fruit stand (maybe used in a small store near the register to hold a few apples and bananas? Seems I've seen one like that before), but I spray painted it silver and added a couple bows and it became a cupcake stand. ;)
Anna said it looked like Halloween with black, purple, silver and green icing on the cupcakes. ;) They tasted good, though, which is what matters with cupcakes.
Her Daddy made the name cut-out for her, and we bought balloons to tie to it. $8 for 3 balloons! Should have gone to Dollar Tree... ;) I think all-together for the decorations we spend a little over $50.
There she is - our Graduate!
Her and her Daddy, and the all-important diploma! (Shout-out for
Homeschool Diploma - Beautiful diploma and Super Quick shipping!)
GIFTS!!! I found a tassel keychain with '13 at Hobby Lobby.
She had a good night, I believe. I am so proud of her.
