PARTY DETAILS as told by Cheryl…

I knew I wanted a camping party way before I had my son! I wanted a theme that all of
my guests could enjoy and who wouldn’t like camping? Almost all of the details were DIY. My friend and I made all the desserts and my husband made the food. I made all of our costumes, which took a total of three months!
