Hive, I’ve always known that Mr. Parasol is pretty awesome. He makes me laugh, he cooks me delicious food, he puts up with my craziness on a daily basis. But a few days ago, he completely surpassed all of my expectations for just how awesome he can be.

A few posts back, I told you about how I started working on our photo-booth props, even though I had no idea how we were going to make the actual photo booth itself. Well, I guess that’s not completely true. I knew how to make the photo booth, I just didn’t feel confident in my own abilities to do so. While I’m fairly adept in the world of crafts and DIY projects, I’m not very handy when it comes to tools, woodworking, or building some sort of structure, and I knew that I couldn’t make the photo booth myself.

Enter Mr. Parasol to save the day!

Even though Mr. Parasol was only with me in Northern California for a few days, he took it upon himself to make me the most spectacular photo booth ever. He modestly claims that the project was really easy for him, but I’m still unbelievably impressed by his abilities. Check out his amazing work!

Mr. Parasol and I are totally thrilled with this handmade photo booth, and I now have complete confidence that Mr. Parasol can build anything we ever need. As I said, he remains adamant that this was a fairly simple project to tackle, and all it really took was a few wooden boards, some screws, and a curtain rod. Now all that’s left is for me to make some sort of fabric backdrop to hang from the curtain rod, and this photo booth is ready!
