We invited our guests with this custom made invitation using Rhonna Farrer Designs app!  I love that app!!

Picture
We had the guests come through the back gate, directed by our chalkboard door sign at the front walk, and welcomed by red 'curtains'!

The kids played carnival games like, bean bag toss, ball toss, balloon shoot and ring toss.

We also had a tattoo booth and face painting (that turned into arm tattoos!).

A month...it seems crazy that I haven't taken the time to write in so long!!  But as you will see from the photos...I really have been a touch busy!  
From hosting lemonade sales, setting up grade six grad parties, spending the day with my grade six grad!, enjoying an annual last day of school party with friends, spending Canada Day at hospital with Hunter, anticipating new inventory from Las Vegas, taking in the local Stampede Pancake Breakfast, taking bike rides with my guys, having lovely friends drop by to say hi, learning a new mantra for life, hosting playdates of 10 plus kids, spending a day at Calgary Stampede, getting wedding inventory ready!, hosting our annual stampede party, getting great inventory photos & great photos of friends enjoying our stampede party ;), heading to the zoo with friends, experiencing a local tragedy, finding fun new venues, tossing my hat into the #tbt throw back thursday ring, road trips delivering weddings to Canmore, and building pieces for a birthday party...yep, we've been busy!!  




enjoy a month in review...from our {orange trunk} family to yours!
