After such a downer of a blog post a few nights ago, I feel motivated to feed you those lollipops and rainbows at an alarming rate. So much color and happiness and group hugs that you’ll want to want to sit alone in a room with white walls, rocking back and forth while murmuring things like, “No more unicorns,” just to get away from it all. Then, just when you’ve had too much, I’ll hit you with another downer post and – no. Totally kidding. Not part of my evil plan. (My evil plan remains a secret at this point in time.)
Truth be really told, this is a bit more engaging than beginning that two page paper that’s due tomorrow morning at 10. (… which I promise to start as soon as I tell you about crepe paper, okay?) Have I told you how I’m ready to be done with school? Right. Check. But in all seriousness, I say thank you again for the support. I received a ‘for cute’ email tonight from a woman in Dawson that I didn’t know read my blog – a note of encouragement and one that reminded me that my Grace family is behind me all the way. The cutest and so encouraging. (Thank you to Sharon!) I can and will do this, faithful blog friends!
Ready to hear about crepe paper?!
Crepe paper is a standard party decoration that – quite honestly – can make me cringe. I think it can be used in fun ways but you’ll typically see me stay away from it. Quite far away from it. Maybe I just can’t twist it properly. or something. But in general, not a fan.
However, this I could get on board with … you know what’s coming next, right?
You can sew crepe paper! [Credit for the photo and the idea is given to
this blog. Coolest thing about it? It suddenly becomes sturdier with a seam and two layers so you can roll it up and use it again.]
How lovely.
I also found
this to make crepe paper all fancy-like. It calls for sheets of crepe paper (which I never knew existed) but I think you could use a roll of crepe paper and take an xacto knife to it. The whole roll. I mean – be careful when you do it but I think it could work on some level. [I take no responsibility when you slice your hand or lose a finger. Simply an idea. I will, however, write a really long and depressing blog post when I probably stick my thumb with a blade while attempting. I’m good at posts like that. After the blood dries, of course.]
[you know that’s a joke, mom. right? ps mom. engage me on either of these decorating ideas and emma will have the classiest high school graduation party ever come june. plus graduation cap cakepops.]
