Beach Baby Birthday

Sandy toes and sunshine – the perfect way to celebrate a birthday!  After meeting at the Central Florida Martha Stewart Dreamers into Doers event, Jennifer from Party Dreamz started to working on this “Beach Baby Birthday” piece. We designed a table setting and a dessert/snack table and picked the best back drop ever–the beach–to have our party. Thanks to Jill from Luecht Photography for photo-editing our pictures – a service she now offers internationally! Renee from Bees Knees Creative supplied the gorgeous cookies, and Debra from Titi’s Tutu’s the girl’s headbands and pink tutu.

Alice in Wonderland 8th Birthday Party

I had an Alice in Wonderland party for 20 little girls to celebrate my twin girls’ 8th birthday. When the girls arrived they each made an Alice in Wonderland t-shirt.  They chose what color shirt they wanted and then they chose a fabric key, teapot, flamingo or cupcake to go on the front of their shirt.  After helping to iron it on, they handed it over to my friend Kate who then appliqued all 20 shirts during the rest of the party. The girls then made layered fabric hair clips with button or gem centers.Instead of gifts, each girl was asked to bring a wrapped stuffed rabbit.  It could be any size, style or color.  As each girl arrived I put a numbered sticker on their package.  After finishing their hair clips, the girls went on a key hunt.  There were large blue sparkly keys hidden all over and each one was numbered.  After they found a key, they matched it to the same number on one of the packages.  Then the girls all opened their packages and got to take home the rabbit that was inside. Next the girls had a tea party with cupcakes, pink lemonade and a sundae bar.Finally, the girls had a Wonderland dance party led by a great DJ who had them doing the “YMCA,” “Cha Cha Slide” and “Chicken Dance.” You can see more photos at:  http://www.andbabiesmakefour.com/2012/03/eight.html

“Spa”rty

I was hosting my daughter 9th birthday. She had a fabulous “spa”rty complete with facials, make your own bath salts and spa shoes and even a dip in the pool thanks to the California weather. For lunch, the girls dined on “spa”wiches, curlers, pumpkin peel fruit salad, “spa”rfaits, seaweed wraps and drank from the milk bath. Then “treat”ments included bit of honey masks, cotton ball donuts, cucumber eye pad gummies, nail files, lipsticks, body scrub rock candy and bubble bath gum balls. Our guests left with personalized make-up bags. Just another relaxing day at the spa for our nine year old. 

Sofia’s Garden Birthday Party

I’ve decided to start this project just 2 months prior to the party. I wanted the decoration to be colorful and to include garden animals, but not to be a “enchanted garden”… I had NEVER made anything in felt and had no clue where to start. With help from 2 friends, I learned how to make the felt decorations and spent nights doing everything. Every small detail was homemade by me. I used items from my home to complete the decoration and fresh flowers and leaves from my garden.
