We celebrated our mama's 80th birthday at the house on Saturday night.
Good szechuan and good company made the evening a memorable one.
I've been semi-obsessed with making tissue paper poms for our events recently.
Festive, inexpensive and fun.
I used this tutorial.

And deciding what to give the lady who has everything was tough but a necklace from Pendants by Steph with all her grandchildren's names on it made the perfect keepsake. She just loved it :: thanks so much Steph for making it so special!
I think she looks pretty amazing for 80.
Love that lady right there.
Happy Birthday mama!
