Armed with silver glitter, a pink accordion folder, some funky scrapbook paper and a computer, I set out to make decorations to celebrate my friend Carol who was joining me in the Sixty Club! If you know Carol, you love Carol, but you also know she isn't one who swoons for either glitter or pink. Ha!
It was fun to find statements related to the event- some are nice and some are rather not. I printed them off on my computer printer and got out the glitter. Nothing elevates a project like glitter.
Making the accordion-folded circle was a snap with the removal of the folder "guts" and shaping the
sections into a circle fan. At the center of the circle a glittered 60 was placed. It was pink on one side and white on the other due to the file folder colors.
The decorations were sent ahead to the place of the big surprise party. And, yes, she sure was surprised. It was so delightful to see her reaction.
We have been friends since our freshman year in college and because you now know both our ages, you know this has been a long, long friendship. During our friendship I learned a lot about food, too!
She is an expert on good food and savors each tasty bite. At her party, guests brought foods from local ethnic restaurants (yum!) and her husband brought delicious bakery cupcakes in various flavors perfect for sampling.
Our Grands watch as Carol holds her grandson up to help extinguish the candles.
Life is sweet, isn't it?
I wish my dear friend the happiest year to come as we move forward together in this new decade. May it be filled with all kinds of glitter and sparkles!
