Rowen's 1st Birthday: Strawberry Banner

I looked online for a few minutes thinking I would be able to find a really cute banner for my daughter's strawberry patch themed birthday party but was completely disappointed with the results. I consider myself to be pretty creative and crafty when I have the time so I decided to make my own banner. My husband, of course, thought I was going overboard on details...if he could only see how much MORE overboard people go on birthday party decor! I started by cutting out the two different strawberry shape sizes and measuring them. From there, I got on my computer and created a file so that I could make sure each letter that I print would fit on the strawberry shapes. Then began lots of cutting and gluing:

From there I added a couple more details like a few green leaf cutouts and white dots for the separator strawberries:

And here is the finished product after a couple paper punches and green yarn:

Our new house!

We went to Kearney this past Thursday and Friday to look at houses again. We had so much fun and the people are great there...everyone is so friendly! We had narrowed our options down to two different houses and finally got our favorite one down to an acceptable offer!

Here's the specs on the house:

It's a ranch style home that was built in 2006. It has 4 bedrooms, 3 baths and an attached 2 car garage. Total square foot is 2900.
