I'll post more detailed instructions later this week.
Birthday Tree
Here is a little birthday tree I made for a friend. You could use this concept for any special occasion.(It could easily be an "anniversary-tree" or a "having-a-bad-week-tree." Basically, I decorated some Dogwood branches with sparkly flowers and ribbons and hung pretty treats in the branches. I really love party poppers but they are so darn ugly. Solution? Spray Paint them gold! I also put little presents and notes in the boxes for her to open each day. (Am I the only one who likes to drag out my birthday celebration?) If you did a group present you could ask everyone to bring something to hang from the tree (like a note or small present or candy.) And after all the hullabaloo is over it looks pretty just sitting there on its own.
I'll post more detailed instructions later this week.

ReplyDeleteJordan, this is an unexpected comment from someone you don't know, but is it true your toddler sleeps in a closet? don't worry, I'm not with child services, mine does, too. Turns out she might be staying there for a bit longer, and I'm worried about when she's old enough to get out of her crib. what did you do?! How do you keep him from getting into everything? I'd welcome any advice. roseanne.jones [at] gmail [dot] com (and don't sweat it if there's no time to reply)
ReplyDeletea little embarrassed because I just found your post about the closet, which functions solely as a (very darling) bedroom. Wish me luck and lots of creative problem solving. :)
ReplyDeletewow jordan, what inspired this idea

Oh lady you have just completely blown me away with your creativity. I'm inspired to try something similar for a friend's baby shower but I think I will make a wishing tree where everyone can hang a wish for the baby. I'm so excited. Now I need to find some pretty branches....
