3. Hang balloons from the ceiling over the dessert table. We found these polka-dotted balloons at Hobby Lobby, and added a marble to make them hang down straight.

    I would never have thought hanging that fun cover would make such a difference. Anybody could do this and have it turn out great.

    What a great idea! I would never have thought of hanging the backdrop like you did. I always think of doing the backdrop against a wall instead of floating like that. Very creative! The whole setup looks great.

She insisted on dressing up like Reba McEntire, and thanks to her new love of country music I now know all the words to ‘Consider Me Gone’. Happy Halloween from the Queen of Country Music and her dinosaur sidekick. 🎃🎤🦖

…but on pretzel day? Well, I like pretzel day 🥨
Our first neighborhood New Year’s Day parade was a success! 🥳 Thank you for the great idea #bobgoff
And it only took 82 hours to complete it. My next project is going to have fewer bricks. 🏡
