this is what my backyard has looked like for two "shlong" months now (meaning the short/long time where crappy parts feel like forever, but you feel like you have to hurry to get it done and all the good stuff is passing you by. get your mind out of the gutter pervs). Giant props. tarps. paint cans and enough cardboard to make me want to set it all on fire and boycott paper products forever!! BUT, we pushed through, and with zero box cutter injuries! (but a couple close calls. sorry fingers.) and now most of it's in the dumpster where it belongs. Stay tuned for candy land part 2...the part where i pump fake and disappoint all the young children when there is no actual edible candy at the party (classic "bait and switch")...
p.s. just a heads up to those attempting to make a sparkly giant gumdrop mountain out of cardboard...abort...it will be the "red headed step child" of your party.
p.p.s. yes that is a working pepsi machine in my back yard. Adam accidentally mixed mothers day up with fathers day and bought it for ME three years ago (gritted teeth smile).
team Boo ♥'s you

haha I was totally going to ask about the soda machine!
I don't know how you do it all.... I would crumble under the pressure. And cardboard.
Now that I get you twitterfeed on fb I toally lurk your blog. But now that I've declared it it's not lurking, right?? My only criticism? Pepsi = poison.
you're my cardboard idol.
how does your husband handle the all the craft stuff around? i'm pretty sure mine would freak.
pepsi machine=awesome.
i stand (well..technically, i sit) in awe of your cardboard prowess right now. i made my daughter's teacher gift last night from scrapbook paper and mod podge and it just about ended me. you have my utmost admiration!
I was so mad today when Geoff walked the disk up to your front door and didn't come back with a cold pepsi for me!
