July 29: Lily is in love aka OBSESSED with the novel series “Warriors.” I don’t know a lot about these books other than what Lily has gushed forth and a little I looked up online but the gist is feral cats organized into clans surviving and occasionally warring with one another….I think. Lily would be horrified by that summary I’m sure but….
Anyway, last year I wanted to throw a Warriors themed party for her but with The 2020ness and not knowing where to begin with any plans I opted not to. This year I happened to come across a blog post on a Warriors party and got pretty excited about how simple it seemed. With a little Googling and that site I went for it. I had everything planned before Phil and I left for Houston back in June and kept Lily in the dark the entire time. Grandma took her out of the house for a few hours before the party while I decorated with the help of my SIL. I wanted everything to be a surprise for her. I think it was hit.
Another “score!” was this printable banner I found on Etsy.
