Such cute ideas! My birthday is 5 May and we always celebrate with a fiesta. This year we will be doing the pinata hats!! I can put baby stuff in them for the little grands and candy for the bigger kids. Thank you for all the clever ideas. You are the best source around!!
About how many hats will one 8ft roll make?
I must say that all you do is such a cutteness, and i love to see your work
In this 5 de Mayo topic i must say that the word Olé is not mexican, is from spain, so, we don´t use it (i’m mexican).
other theme is that 5 de Mayo is not the mexican independence day, it was a battle againts the french army in méxico.
The real independence in México was on september 15th 1810, so, that’s the day we celebrate.
