The action intensifies in this chapter as our party guests solve puzzles and fashion accessories appropriate for bibliophiles. In the book party invitations, our guests were instructed to come to the party dressed as a favorite character from a book, but NOT to tell anyone who they were. I was unprepared for the level of enthusiasm, [...]

It is time to continue with our celebratory story! This story begins–as all parties should–with a great invitation! A library book card invitation! Alas, an element of irony is already introduced to our story since none of the party guests have experienced libraries with actual cards in the books. I’m certain they all had to [...]

How about with my little Rapunzel herself and the gorgeous [...]

This is the original invitation I made for my daughter’s birthday 3 years ago (see credits here). And now I’ve created a printable version (for sale [...]

My son has had some pretty cool birthday parties in the past. While the robot, pirate and rocket parties were huge successes, I wanted this year to be a little different.

Some of my most Pinned posts are the ones showing creative treats to take to school for hand out at birthdays. Like the juicebox robot, and my recent S’more printable. I’ve also had this #10 donut treat pinned numerous times. Lately, I’ve had several people request a printable topper that they can download and use [...]

In the tradition of my non-traditional classroom treats, I’m sharing the smores I will be taking to my son’s class in about an hour in honor of his birthday. Like many other schools around the nation, our school has a ban on homemade food for class parties. We could launch into a discussion about whether [...]
