Homegrown Hoosier

 Hi all! So April 30th was my Dad's birthday and we threw him a huge surprise party! I had been planning the party for a couple weeks and I knew that a fishing/backwoods theme would be perfect! He had really been missing home (Indiana) and I knew that this would not only surprise him, but also ease the homesickness a little bit. Most of our ideas where spinoffs of stuff we saw online, we just made it our own! We made everything in the pictures and it all could not have turned out better!!  So first is the "Happy Birthday" banner pictured above. It took a lot of work but it turned out super cute! All I did was print out a bass silhouette off of Google Images and then I traced it onto poster board, cut it out, and wrote "Happy Birthday" on it. The fish have real fishing hooks through their lips and then we attached that to twine to give them a fresh catch look!  This cute little chalk board was something we already had in our house, but we spruced it
