When planning a party, I find myself wanting to go ALL OUT.....maybe even a little overboard. This may be the case with this little project. You be the judge.
I purchased King-sized white sheets, second-hand, for about $1 each. I waited until there was no snow on the ground, no rain in the forecast and no one home (except for Abree). Then, I snuck out to the back yard (while she was distracted with a friend) and tacked the sheets up to our fence, using push pins. Next, I got out my paint and went to work.

I splattered, I spattered and drizzled and dotted to my hearts content. Then I crossed my fingers and hoped they would dry before the kids got home from school and Jason got home from work.(They were mostly dry when I folded them and put them away.)Abree did actually catch me and ask what I was doing. I played dumb, to no avail.
She said, "Are these for dad's 80's surprise party?"
What?! Where did she hear that? Did I spill the beans unconsciously?
I said, "What are you talking about?"
She said, "Oh yeah. Shhhhhh."
Voila!I used these sheets as a backdrop for 80's couples pictures and for covering couches and tables at the party. What's more 80's than a paint spattered sheet?
Ok, tell me. Overboard or a total 80's necessity?
