Back to School, An Apple for the Teacher

Well lots of schools started back up this week. In our little town in Northern California, the elementary schools started today in 103 degree heat. Yikes

I swear when I was a kid we didn't start until September. Thank goodness for A/C. The man who invented that should have a national holiday. Who did invent air conditioning? Well I decided to find out. His name is Willis Carrier. When was air conditioning invented? Well his patent was approved in 1906.

So, those lucky little kids have nice cool air to learn their ABC's and since this is a blog about confetti and we don't happen to have air conditioning confetti you'll have to check out our ABC confetti instead. Seriously folks, I needed a theme and it's hot and it's the first day of school.

Lest the math teachers and math lovers among you protest, we do have number confetti too.

In fact we have so many numbers that it's impossible to show them all.

And for the teachers pets we have shiny red apple confetti. Sprinkle it on your teachers desk...oops don't say where you got the idea

More tomorrow and don't forget your homework

How to Celebrate a 100th Birthday

Turning 100 is a major, major milestone. This year alone over 60,000 Americans will celebrate their 100th birthdays. By the middle of this century New York Life estimates that there will be almost one Billion Centarians. So how do we celebrate these very special people in our lives?
For starters, have a party. No one should reach 100 and not have a party. Your theme is simple, 100 years of life. Pick an invitation and sprinkle 100 confetti in it. Available in gold or bright rainbow metallic.
Inflate Giant Number Balloons to create the number 100 and place behind the head table. The numbers 1 and Zero come in Gold,Silver,Blue,Red, Purple and Pink. They look amazing and you can have pictures taken in front of them.
For Centerpieces take a sand weight, add a number 100 spray, tie a few latex balloons to the top and you're good to go. It's unique, fast easy and best of all looks way more expensive that it is.
