Happy Spring.....

after a long dank winter I have been working on

some party things...

Above is just one of the party invitations that I have done.

Just imagine a candy colored sleepover with a midnight buffet candy table…
A colorful polka dotted sheet would work as a tablecloth….
A cupcake tower, boxed chocolates with the guest names on them and a tray of beautiful vegetables.
Yes, I said vegetables, or bunny candy as we call it in our house…
When my kids had sleepovers, the bowl that I would always find empty was the one holding
the cherry tomatoes….

Or how about a fairy's garden party....

would it not be fun to have these little flowers growing in your back yard???

below are a few links of some things I found during my unplanned blog break.
The ideas out there are just amazing, oh how I wish I had this resource when my kids were little....
I am one of those people that always has kids party ideas dancing in their heads like sugarplums....
fairies, butterflies, candy, poodles and more...

When my daughter was small I would always start the party planning in January,

her birthday is in May...

I guess old habits are hard to break..

right now I am working on parties that are months away...

the start of a fairy party...
