Me gusta poner lemas a las fiestas. Así me resulta mucho más fácil decorarlas. Para esta ocasión y con motivo de la edad que estrena mi mami decidí optar por el lema "Cómete el Mundo"... así que la decoración estuvo llena de mapas y bolas del mundo.

Let me feel proud of this post, the most special for me. Not because it is the brightest, or the most interesting, nor the best written ... not even the quality of my photos, (the emotion was so great and our time so little that they are not as good as I would have liked (go my apologies in advance). It's special because it is a post that has had a lot of work behind him (which is seen but also not seen) and many people involved ... and you'll wonder... all this for what? To give my mother a surprise on her birthday. A special birthday...-one of those round numbers that I won't reveal because her coquetry.
I like to put slogans to my parties so that it's easier to decorate them. In this occasion and because of the my mum's age I chose the slogan "Conquer the World" (in Spanish we say "Eat the World!) ... so the decoration was full of maps and world globes.
El escenario escogido? La casa de mi hermanita... que tuvo un trabajón tremendo...

The chosen place? My sister's home... who worked hard...
Empezamos vistiendo la mesa con manteles de papel y un camino de mesa hecho con cartón coarrugado, los tarros forrados con mapas y el lema "cómete el mundo" convertidos en jarrocitos con paniculata y bolas del mundo aquí y allá.

We started the day setting the table for the buffete meal with paper tableclothes and corrugated cardboard , the little mason jars lined with maps paper turned into vases with paniculata and world globes here and there.
