It's my birthday!

Oh hey, it's my birthday!  Instead of writing an "It's my birthday" post, here's a few photos from the medal stand photo booth from my Olympics theme party this weekend:

 

I made the stands out of some plastic step stools I found at Home Goods and some metallic poster board from Michael's.  The poster board was double sided: gold and silver.  Since there was no bronze, I painted one of the gold sheets.  Then I cut out pieces of poster board and used some spray glue to attach them to the step stools.  I printed out the numbers and used them as stencils on the scrap pieces of poster board, then attached them using some more spray glue.  And voila!  Quick and cheap medal stand.

Tonight Jeff and I are going to RPM to celebrate some more.  I've never been so I'm super excited.  Yaaaaaaaay birthday!

Easy 4th of July Photobooth

My boyfriend has thrown a "3rd of July"* party for the past several years with his roommates, and now that I'm the roommate it looks like I'm throwing it too.  My friends and I were talking about how we could cuten up the party a bit, and decided a photobooth was definitely a must.

I set it up with a giant American flag I found on Amazon, a couple of chalkboard word bubbles, and you know, your typical stash of mustaches and lips.  

I put a camera on a tripod, set it to self timer, and then things with the boyfriend got a little silly.  

Don't worry, I'll be posting some of the best shots from the night next week.   

Are you throwing a 4th of July party this year?  Will you be rocking a photobooth?

*Yes, 3rd of July.  Because boys are silly.  And so that they could stay up really late since they didn't have work the next day.
