it's funfetti, ok?

A while ago, I made some confetti, otherwise known as funfetti, for a friend's birthday surprise. Funfetti is a great project and really easy to make. First, I printed both sides of regular printer paper with colorful stripes.

 Next, I cut off any white edges of the paper and then went to town with the creativity. I cut out hearts, initials and curly spirals. I also folded the paper fan style and cut out zig-zaggy strips.

 Another pal and I had cooked this surprise up, and we decorated the birthday girl's desk at work with the funfetti, balloons and a happy birthday sign.

So much fun to get crafty – I haven't done that in a while. Best of all, it was a great way to spice up her office and make the day a special one.

a perfect surprise

Back in November, a friend's husband called me to help arrange a surprise party for his wife. I was so excited to help make it a great night – at least in a small way – with some placecards and invitations! The wintery, blue-grey background and the bark-colored text turned out beautifully. The best part was that the guest of honor was most definitely surprised, and she had a fantastic birthday!
