Ruffled Crepe Paper

Maybe I don't value sleep.
Maybe I'm crazy.
Maybe I want to win first prize in the un-spoke of best first birthday party contest.

But, I have spent the past three hours turning this...




Into this...



I'm not quite done, but it's 12:27AM and my machine is hot and I just ran out of bobbin thread for the fourth time and my eyes are crossed...

John Wayne did measure and cut all of the the strips of crepe paper for me...while chewing tobacco and watching a cowboy movie where they call each other son-of-a-gun. Don't worry John Wayne, your man card is still safe.

Stay tuned for pictures of the ruffled crepe paper in action at Saturday's monster bash.
