Our Picnic | The Moon
IMG_5438

I mentioned to my Mum that having a 'paper moon' cut-out at the picnic might be a fun idea as a photo prop and she had my step dad cut out a moon shape for me. I painted it with white house paint and then painted the details with my step dad's airbrush. I had never airbrushed before and it was so much fun. I'd love to get my own - I still have a lot to learn - holding that thing takes skill!



On the day, I left a bunch of cameras on the table next to the moon and a sign that read 'take a Polaroid & add it to our photo album". By the end of the day the photo album was full of photos. It was one of those things about the day that I was really glad I did. It was so fun to go through them the next day. When I buy a new scanner I'll scan and upload a bunch of them.

We also blu-tacked a bunch of envelopes to the wall in the entry to the house with a sign that read 'Write us a note & pop it in an envelope'. I loved what each person wrote. I'm going to paste them into a scrap book.

Our Picnic | Red Balloons

As guests started arriving at the picnic my Aunty Rebecca came up to me and told me she'd organised a bunch of red balloons for us to let off during the day. It was so lovely and unexpected and was one of my favourite parts of the day. In our invitation we requested that each guest wear a little bit of red. I had pretty much forgotten until people started arriving. I love seeing all those pops of red!

I loved watching people's faces as they watched the balloons fly away.
