I had the honor of helping celebrate an 82nd birthday last week. Watching multiple generations create art together warmed my heart in such a meaningful way. We celebrated this deeply loved Poppie with vinyl record decorating while listening to a soundtrack that would have been played exclusively on vinyl years ago.
Guests also contributed to a collaborative canvas for Poppie to keep. A collaborative painting is never just paint on a canvas. Every color, fingerprint, and brushstroke holds a person, a memory, a moment in time. As generations grow and life changes, the painting remains layered with love from everyone who helped create it. Even years later, their color will still be part of the picture.
And I gotta say, I’m very excited that when someone asks what ages I’ve done parties for I can now officially say I’ve done events for ages 2-82! I’m so grateful to be trusted with these special memories.
