Caleb had an end of year banquet to honor the seniors in his performing group, Acting Up! I volunteered to decorate a table. The theme choices they gave were Broadway, Disney or Celebrate. I was asking Caleb what to do and something came up about "Tangled" and we went off talking about funny things from the movie...we decided a frying pan would make a good plate and we could use these root beer mugs that would look like they fit the pub scene when Rapunzel first gets out of the tower. Then we joked about the ceramic unicorn...after a trip to the dollar store, some more conversations, and help from lots of creative people, this is what we ended up with...
"Tangled" Chair Hair...this was Caleb's idea and I think it turned out pretty cool!
A frying pan plate and a mug with the "Snuggly Duckling" logo and a quote with the saying
"I Have a Dream" a great theme for seniors...
Ok, we messed up on that. It is actually "I've Got a Dream" but in our excitement of finding a "theme", thank you, Romney, we misquoted, but we get cool points for writing it in a Disney font! (thanks to my friend, Dana, and her ability to cut vinyl letters in a cool font on very short notice!)
We tried to wrap things up with a few movie details...the healing flowers, Pascal, Rapunzel's lizard friend, and Vladmir's ceramic unicorn...straight from the dollar store with an added horn thanks to Maddy's sweet clay molding skills!
But I have to say, the piece de resistance, was the floating lanterns! And can I say, those pieces did resist! We had great plans for putting yellow balloons in paper bag lanterns so they would float, but a helium balloon can't lift the weight of a bag stuck over it! After many tries in the party store, we thought we had it right. But, no. Fortunately, we figured out some things at home and after a few more adjustments at the venue, Voila!, we saw the floating lanterns gleam, well, at least float! Not exactly how I pictured it, but it worked.
So there you have it, our "Tangled" party table. So, if anyone is in a party mode and "Tangled" is your theme, I have all the supplies!

So fun!! You are a creative one. If only I'd known, though, I actually own a couple ceramic unicorns!
Maybe we'll have to steal some of this for a fun birthday party this year. There would be so many fun options for a cake. Hmmm.........
Congratulations on another task well played!!
Holy smokes, that was great! You never cease to amaze with your party planning skills.
It turned out awesome!! Even better than I imagined it!! Hopefully one day I can grow up and be as creative as you! ;-)
So I am still trying to figure out how you did the frying pans?? I am so glad I finally watched this movie last week so that I have an appreciation for how amazing these decorations are--you always have been and always will be the family party coordinator. I hope that you are laying awake at night thinking of what we are going to do for the next "surprise" party. You create and put us to work. I love this!! Time to write a book!
That looks great I especially love the frying pans and the unicorn. You are so good at that kind of stuff.
I told Romney that I wished you would share more of the creative things you do b/c you seriously inspire!
That table was amazing! And you hit it right on the money! This is speaking from someone who knows since James watched that movie twenty times in a row last month.
I am going to show this post to John.
I am trying this week to return comments--this is my 3rd one! I can't believe you found time to be so creative at the same time as planning all your trips and the handcart trek. I am sure you didn't get those talents from me. I love it. Mom
LOVE!
