So my friend's birthday is Sunday and we are having another craft/birthday party. The theme is disco glitter. I went to the disc of free fonts in Indie Fonts 2 and I thought Annabelle Matinee NF would be fabulous.
To make an easy banner simply type one letter on the page.
I happen to work in Illustrator. I also wanted the ability to fill in the space of the letter with all sorts of stuff (check back for our craftiness) so I selected the letter and then the outline box, gave it a fill of black and increased the outline width to 4 points. I then selected the fill box and selected "none"
This gave me the outline of the letter. I then printed each letter out individually.

This works great for any banner you might need to make!
And on the subject of parties, as always there is food.
And on the subject of food, pop on over to this article at the New York Times about the The 11 Best Foods You Aren’t Eating with our very own Author of 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth and The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth among others, Dr. Jonny Bowden. The list will surprise you!
I love this book. It is really well written and very informative. Thanks for the link to the article.
