First anniversary fringe letter DIY

The traditional gift for a first anniversary is paper, so I really wanted to try to incorporate paper into our party in as many ways as I could. I actually pretty much thought about paper decorations for the whole year. I had about a million...

So this weekend Andy and I snuck out to Philadelphia for our friend Matt’s surprise birthday party…. and it was also a murder mystery party! We all had our character assignments ahead of time and came dressed up for the part. The setting was a 1920...
