Party Time

Caroline's birthday falls smack in the middle of winter break. So we always have her party in January. And today was the day...no school for us today. My friend is adding to her already adorable business, with paper craft parties. We were guinea pigs and it could not have gone better! She came with a set of personalized note cards and a sheet of book plates for each girl to embellish with all sorts of fun punches!




This "PARTY" banner hung on our front door greeted our guest.


I am in love these felt letters from Joann Fabrics.




Aprons waiting for the guest to arrive and begin crafting.

The girls busy working.

Lots of punches to choose from...monkeys, ladybugs, flip flops, flowers, cowboy boots...



Name plates


Don't you love this banner? It now resides in Caroline's room!


Finished note cards


Fun, fun, fun day!

The girls must have had so much fun doing all those paper crafts! I'm sure Caroline will have great memories of this party everytime she sees that beautiful banner hanging in her bedroom.

Oh, I just LOVE girly parties! Not that I have EVER been able to host one with my gang of guys :( .. but once in a while a friend will invite me to their daughter's party.
Love the banners and those pink and green aprons! :)

that is just precious..i have thought about purse parties too and let them choose their fabrics and cut out from a template, pin the pieces, etc and then give them a week later (like a pottery party) their finished product....

I love doing special things for the kids' birthdays! I think my Caroline might be a little young for some of the crafts this year, but I love how your party turned out! Beautiful!

Looks like a great party!

You are truly Crafty MacCrafty. You deserve a cruise just for throwing that party! I think busting your butt like that is the nicest and most meaningful way of telling a child that you think they're important.
