A Graduation Luncheon



I went a little crazy with red, black and white this week!  In celebration of my daughter's high school graduation, we hosted a luncheon for her closest friends.  Of course, we decorated with the school colors and the school mascot, which happens to be the very cute scottie dog!   

Using my Martha Stewart scoring board, we made black cardstock favor boxes filled with candy and tied with a red ribbon....



We hung  red, black, and white  tissue paper pompoms....


We even baked red velvet and devil's food color coordinated cupcakes....



Finally, we sewed fabric bunting  and sprinkled a few scottie dogs on the cabinets and wrapping paper table runner...


And whew!...that's me breathing a sigh of relief as this crazy month of activities is finally done!  I am truly ready for summer to begin so that I can return full time to blogging again!  Sometimes real life just gets in the way, doesn't it?
