Graduation Open House {Simple Decorations}

My favorite FIRST: Laurissa at 4 months! Isn't she cute?!

Our son with friends

Scott and I with Laurissa


Simple gifts for Laurissa's friends...we used leftover pink tags and stamped them


A paper banner with ribbon. Numbers printed with our favorite font


Gratitude and posies were the "theme"


Posies were made with scrap paper. I didn't have white brads at 4 AM, so I used fingernail polish to paint them. I used floral foam to keep them upright while I painted them and waited for them to dry. It sure beats the nasty gold color!


Simple centerpiece! Potted flowers from Fred Meyer


Target pails from the dollar section. If you buy white, you can change the color scheme with a simple piece of ribbon to go along with your theme


We needed the baskets from the nooks for graduation cards, so I was left with two empty shelves in the island. I filled two mixing bowls with peonies from our yard and we had one more little touch to carry our theme...for free!
