Western Party...DIY Printables

A new client contacted me recently to do a horse-themed birthday party for her two daughters. She opted for one of my new packages, {A Little} Time For a Party where I deliver all the party goods to her a day or so before the party and she stages everything herself, with the help of a detailed binder with pictures.

She's actually having two separate parties on the same day, with about an hour "clean up" built in between them, so she can reset the kids' eating table, etc. So ambitious!

I still have more pics to edit, but here's the great DIY printables I found from Leslie Marie Designs on Etsy. She was fantastic to work with, and her stuff is adorable! I was able to fashion some of the printables into cake toppers as well, using some chipboard letters ("L" is for Lea, and we did a "Q" for her sister, Quinn). The bottom pic is the placecards for the kids' eating table...wait til you see what it was hung on...more to come, so stay tuned!

An Under the Sea Soiree...

Mia's Mermaid Party

click on any of the pictures to make the collage bigger...

Mia had 11 of her preschool-aged pals over for her under the sea soiree on a rainy day in March {props to me for accepting the fact that it was probably not going to be spring-like on the day of her party, but rather, straight up WET}. Mia and the girlies decorated an under the sea sticker scene, made ocean necklaces, and decorated felt purses with their names, fish and shell felt stickers...Then they lunched, cupcaked, and helped Mia open presents...Whew!

Everything's All A Flutter!

I am so excited to get to work on my next party...Ellie is turning 5 on Wednesday and I am doing a Butterfly Party for her and her friends! Here is a sneak peak at one of the activities we will be doing (decorating personalized butterfly tiaras) and one of the favors Ellie and her friends will find in their party favor bags (butterfly barrettes). Much, much more to come soon!
