¡Fiesta!

5.11.2011

And finally, the party decor:
picked the fruit from our backyard :)

I used the Spanish version of anyone's name that had one (Richard->Ricardo, Reachel->Reaquel). 
For those of us who were not so lucky to have an authentic Mexican name, were dubbed a new name...
We had a bunch of chairs old chairs going to waste in our storage barn, so I decided it was time to do something new with them. 
Off to Walmart I went--looking oh-so-terrible, but as Elaine pointed out, that's what Walmart's for--to have some place to go when you need some $3 spray paint, and you don't want to get out of your jammies.
I bought a few bright colors and then sprayed my life away. 
Literally. 
The amount of chemicals I must have inhaled probably took some years off my life.
The things we do for beauty...

I was totally stoked with how they turned out!
So cute, right?

Love the chairs. Good work on this. I also love that Walmart never closes. I've started many a project at 2 in the morning. Love the lemons and limes as name tags as well. Love it all.
