Ruffled Streamers and Choosing Joy

Littlest sister turned 16 in October.  Luckily it was over my fall break, so I got to be home for almost a week.  Of course we had a little party for her, and I made some ruffled streamers for decoration (inspiration from MADE). 

Her current favorite colors are orange and purple, and she's the tomboy of the family, so I picked green as a third color.  

And for her present, I painted her a canvas.

Luckily the canvas came in a pack of two...I want one for myself now (:

Grandmother's 90th

This summer one of my grandmothers had her 90th birthday.  

My family got to go down to Pennsylvania to visit, but I couldn't get time off of work, so I made her this poster.

She's German, and my Grandpa, also German, (who passed away when my dad was really little) was in the Army and fought in WWII against the Nazis.  

I love price comparisons...they're so interesting to me. 

And yes, there are exactly 90 candles on this board.  I used my Silhouette to cut everything out.
