Dr. Seuss Baby Shower

Seussian Decorations!

I enjoyed researching all the Seuss Decorations on Pinterest, and I borrowed or adapted a few!
I thought  I would share the results, in case I can be an inspiration to someone else!


My version of Truffalo trees.  They made beautiful and colorful centerpieces, especially with primary colored tablecloths.  I made them with a dollar tin bucket from the Party Store, some 'plaster of paris', pvc pipe cut to differents lengths, and styrofoam balls with tissue paper 'blooms'. I used yellow duct tape to cover the pipe, and construction paper zigzags covered in clear sealing tape.

Below are two pics of a Memory Box I made, the lid, and the inside of the bottom.  Mom's love these, so nice to have one place to keep all the little memories in.



I like to do a chair, to match the theme, for the New Mommy to sit in.
This was 4 dollars at a thrift store.



 Some other decorations!



Favors!


One Fish, Two Fish 
I made the bar a Seuss-shi Bar!


Green Eggs
I made a snack I found on Pinterest!


A good time was had, by one and all!
Good Luck with your celebration!

Dracula's Epithaph

Forty years ago, we had our first Haunted House to celebrate Halloween.  You heard it right, 1976!  We were among the first haunted houses around.  Crooked shutters, windows lit up with skeletons and ghosts, black lighting and fluorescent paint, sound effects, a 6-foot casket and a real Dracula in a tuxedo, smoking cauldrons, we had the whole works and we made them by hand  because they were no such decorations on the market yet.  The whole neighborhood participated.  

Well, enough reminiscing.  This is the epitaph we wrote for Dracula, on one of our Styrofoam grave stones.  I used a soldering gun to engrave the stones.  I thought someone might like to use this for Halloween.
  Happy Halloween!
