Oh my, it is nearly two years later and I am FINALLY posting pictures! I have seriously got to get a handle on that! We have SO much fun putting together our Epic vacation bible school every year and I wanted to share with you what we have been up to! With it nearing VBS season again I thought I would take a trip down memory lane and share with you some great ideas that you can use for your own VBS! This year (2014) the theme was Wilderness Survival. The vision was to decorate the church with both desert and jungle themes! This was my first time in the role of "lead decor" and I had NO idea what I was doing (picture having to keep this all in fire code, yikes!) but luckily it all came together in the end! I will try to explain my technique for making things as I go... Here we covered the wall in kraft paper (Lowes or Home Depot in the painting section). Using tan wall paint and a large rectangle sponge, we "stamped" the wall to create bricks then went back and outlined sections in dark brown to make them stand out. It goes really fast if you stick to groupings of stone instead of every single one. The "sand" is just tan fabric by the yard from Joann's. I believe we ordered a few bolts online. The camel prop was ordered from the VBS catalog (we have since created out own VBS curriculum). The rocks are painted pieces of styrofoam. Keep going to see how we did the palm trees and vines. This large hallway I wanted to look like a cave! We used brown paper bags (amazingly cheap on dollartree.com) and crinkled them up and stapled them to the wall. WARNING: this took forever so I would suggest you stretch them as your staple to cover way more wall with less bag. And MUCH less staples! The effect in here was amazing! Here are our palm trees! We used pool noodles to create these. Cut a hole in a box a tad smaller than the noodle (so it stands up), cut the bottom off brown paper bags, and string them onto the noodle! I put a large paper plate on top to tape the leaves to. The leaves are just traces and cut from a roll of non-fade green paper. Drape the base in burlap or tan fabric to look like sand. That last picture is of our class photo area! The vines were my favorite craft! We used plastic table cloths from the Dollar Tree in a couple of different shades of green. These were really easy and each table cloth yeilds a ton of vines. Fold your tablecloth the long way a few times will it is about 5" wide. Trim the sides so you end up with long strips. Cut diagonal lines to the middle. TIP: make sure you stagger them so you dont ever cut all the way through! And even if you do you can always use short vines too! We used these EVERYWHERE! They were great fillers and really tied the theme together! As you will see in the second picture, we also used nets and hula skirts (dollartree.com) everywhere! The monkeys were also ordered online and below I will tell you how we made the rope vines... These rope vines were made using cut, twisted and staples brown paper bags. If I did this again, I would use skinny strips of rolled kraft paper instead. If would have gotten done much faster! We stapled leaves (again cut out of the non-fade paper) when we were done. These also went everywhere and were great for covering large expanses like the ceiling in the cafe. We also wrapped them around the check in area. Also on the ceiling you will see colorful paper lanterns. These are from Oriental Trading Company. This giant tree was my biggest project! The frame is made from PVC. It ended up being 12 feet tall! We used the rolls of brown kraft paper here as well. It is simple... roll it out, wrinkle it up, stretch it out, and tape it on top to bottom! The last picture shows you what it looked like from the inside. The branches were made the same way but left wrinkled and twisted. I wanted to add more but we ran out of time! This hallway is always the kids favorite. The black light hallway! Luckily one wall was already dark, the other we wrapped with a roll of black non-fade paper. The volunteers had fun make fish, octopus, turtles and other sea creatures using white paper and fluorescent paint! These were then stapled onto the wall. The floor was covered in clear balloons that we squirted with the florescent paint on the inside. The jellyfish are paper lanterns lightly painted with fluorescent paint, with streamers and white string hanging from them. The ceiling also had streamers and nets. The openeing to this hallways was made to look like a waterfall. We used clear celo wrap, paper bags (done in the same way as the cave hallway) and the flowers were made using more non-fade paper. And because the nursery kids are important too... we gave them a little decor!

I had a great time planning and hosting Owen's jungle theme first birthday! Seriously, I love to do this party stuff... especially the dessert table!!! I made this bunting banner with scrapbook paper and then displayed in on a large picture that I wrapped with a neutral gift wrap. Gahhh, I couldn't wait any longer to show you this super cute snake! I just sliced sub sandwhiches into small appetizer size pieces and laid out the pices with a litte curve to them on the food table to look like a snake. I used toothpics to put on the olive eyes and cut a red pepper to look like a tongue. So easy and so cute! Here's an over-view of the food. Main table is snacks and drinks and the buffet to the left is desserts I hung some streemers from the ceiling and cut a few jungle leaves from scrapbook paper to jungle the place up a bit :) A closer look at the food table. Mostly veggies and fruit so guests were able to justify splurges at the dessert table - haha! I attached zebra scrapbook stickers to one of my punch jars and simply poured in green hawaiin punch and pepple ice (I buy pebble ice at Sonics) for this fun colored "jungle juice" For the water bottles I removed the labels and then wrapped the bottle in zebra packing tape. This was also really simple to do and I love the impact it makes! Finally a shot of the desserts!!! The cake pops were pretty darn cute! At least it was pretty easy to tell what they were supposed to be :) tigers lions and monkeys! I have the bakerella cake pop book and used that for my directions with just a few tweeks. Of course you can't have a party without cupcakes (at least not in this household!) The cupcakes were vanilla or chocolate with a marshmallow creme filling and green-vanilla buttercream - YUM! The cupcake toppers were actually dollar store stickers that I stuck on scrapbooking paper and cut around. I hot glued the cut outs to toothpics to finish them up. Animal crackers were a must for this jungle party! THE CAKE: This adorable monkey cake is a very yummy banana cake with chocolate buttercream. I found the directions for decorating it here and just made a few changes... for instance I made mine a double layer... cause doesn't that sound soooo much better than just one layer of delicious banana cakes?? I found the banana cake recipe here and I would highly recommend trying it out for yourself! Owen also had a little chocolate smash cake to enjoy. He started out nice and slow but then mommy got involved and things went crazy! must eat more cake A very happy sugar-high birthday boy: love him! Just can't believe how fast a year has gone by, I remember when this little dude was born as if it were just a few weeks ago... sniff sniff. Yay for happy memories!

I still can’t believe Payton will be TWO this week! She has a few different TV shows she likes, but recently she has loved Sesame Street. So I thought it would be fun to throw her an Elmo birthday party! Rachel and I had fun pinning lots of ideas and creating our favorites. There is nothing like usi
Our son's favorite animal is a cow, his favorite song is "Old McDonald," and the boy loves tractors. So to celebrate his second birthday, we held a barnyard bash and partied until the cows came home. I know that my days of throwing "sweet" parties are limited, and the Ninja Turtle and Nerf gun parties are just around the corner. While I'm actually really excited about those too, I did try to go all-out with the pale blue and light yellow with this one ;)Without further ado, welcome to Old Miller
