Buffolo Plaid Birthday Party

We had a great time celebrating our grandson's first birthday yesterday! It's such a blessing to have him close by and to watch him grow. I just thought I'd share some of the decorations we used to celebrate.

I went to my favorite butcher and picked up some yummy garlic beef sticks to build a cabin. I used food coloring to tint my dill dip blue for the sky and green for the dip behind my "grass". I cut pieces of  green pepper and celery for the grass. As you can see, pea pods make great pine trees and cauliflower are perfect for clouds.

 I copied this idea from a banner found on Etsy. I was able to find the paper backed burlap at Joann Fabrics. I printed the lumber jack plaid patterns onto card stock using a link I found online and then cut the letters out with my Cricut machine. https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=Lumber+Jack+Pattern&FORM=IRIBIP

 Marek as a lumber jack!

 Not the clearest picture, but the banner I made for his high chair, also using the lumber jack plaid I printed onto card stock and the paper backed burlap.

 The sign thanking all those who attended the party. I used a link to print the free sign. https://amylanham.com/lumberjack-birthday-party-decor/

 And finally a picture of us with the birthday boy! Happy birthday Marek!!!
