Princess Turkey Luau

While heavily drinking at a happy hour last week, three lovely ladies had the idea to throw a surprise party for our friends Jeff and Xavier. Both had birthdays in July, so this Saturday seemed random enough. And the most devious part of our evil, genius plot is that each guy thinks it's a surprise party for the other guy and have been enlisted to help. Mwahahahaha...

Being both drunk and thrifty, we decided to have a luau, using the leftover decorations from my birthday party back in March. Later in the week, I find out Xavier is getting Jeff a Disney Princess cake, while Jeff is decorating Xavier's cake to look like turkey sticks! (For those fortunate enough not to know, turkey sticks are this sad culinary creation that Xavier makes for his crazy strength training diet - GO PROTEIN!) Thus, this surprise party has morphed into the Princess Turkey Luau. 

So, where are the crafts, you say? Well, we clearly needed a banner so that when then boys walk in, they immediately realize it's a surprise for BOTH of them! TA-DA!

This is the first Princess Turkey banner, complete with kindergarten style hand turkeys and Disney Princesses from a coloring book. I must admit I had help coloring the Princesses... turns out all you need is a bottle of wine and some cheese, and you can convince grown ups that coloring is the coolest thing ever! Each picture also has glitter detail - snazzy! Thanks for modeling, Ariel...

And since it's 1000 degrees in Texas right now, clearly people will want to hang out outside, so we needed a second banner. Indeed, I am nothing if not thorough. BFF here = Bros/Frienemies Forever (which is a pretty perfect way to describe their strange bromance)

So there you have it - my first "craft". I think that is counts... I had glue and glitter everywhere and sliced open two fingers so that's pretty hardcore. I also think it fits nicely in the category of SURPRISE! Hence, "craft"! The party should be a blast, especially if we can pull of our grand deception. Either way, I make a mean pineapple punch! What lucky boys...
