My sis turned 60 in December and we decided to throw a 60's party. I made a 6 foot poster that we used as a backdrop for pictures as well as a focal point. I got a cardboard car from Steak and Shake-the one they give to the kids- and painted it black with trim and made a small replica of a 45 rpm record and filled the car with red cellophane. I even tried my hand at cake decorating.
I wanted to have a dance floor and remembered reading in a magazinethat you can paint linoleum pieces and use them as decorative floor covers. I went to Lowe's and talked to one of the men working in flooring and told him what I wanted to do but also stressed I was on a tight budget. There was a remnant piece of nice beige floor tile 7' x 10' marked sdown from $115 to $55. I told him I wouldn't be able to afford that. He told me he would let me have it for $10 and by the time he got it marked he sold it to me for $7!!! My sis and I sray painted it inwhite and black checkerboard and it looked sweet!!
We dressed in 50's clothes and jitterbugged for hours: proving that you are NEVER TOO OLD TO BOOGEY!!!
