Monogram Pinata

It was my birthday a couple of months ago, and I took it upon myself to decorate with a lot of diy and thrift store projects. I meant to post pictures before the party, but the stress of getting ready for it probably got to me. For some reason I also decided it was a good idea to prepare all of the food. I don't know why I do these things to myself. But in the process of researching party themes and ideas, I learned how to make my own pinata! It was really easy to make and added a fun, personalized touch. All it took was a large cardboard box, masking tape, tissue paper, and a hot glue gun. Mine didn't come out perfectly, but it wasn't bad for a first attempt. I will definitely try to hone my diy pinata skills any chance I get from now on!

Birthday Fun

Today is my birthday, and I feel inspired to blog! A fresh start, maybe? I've said that before, but this time I'm really determined! This past weekend I threw a little get together to celebrate my day in advance. I'd like to share some of the pictures taken :) A lot of DIY and thrift store decorations! I wanted the cocktail/lounge/dinner party feel more than an actual birthday party. The pictures make it seem very dark, but it wasn't. I might have overdone the photo effects, but I thought it made the white decorations stand out more. The party was a success! The food turned out great, we had a few cocktails, and I played some dance music. It was a good time.
