An insane amount of creative ideas
Welcome to the party! Imagine I’m greeting you at the door in a fabulously enviable outfit, with my hair and make-up salon-fresh.

Several of you expressed interest in learning more about how we put together the robot invitations. One reader, Sharon, figured out the basic concept, and already made her own version. The nice thing about robots is that they can look like whatever, and are usually made of basic shapes. I designed Bob and left off [...]
I think I mentioned that my son turned 6 this weekend. We decided to postpone his robot birthday party for a couple of weeks (and were able to take a fast but fun family getaway), but there was still some celebrating to be done! On Friday, I took goodies to his class at school to [...]

Finally, the moment you’ve all been waiting for! I know they always say that picking winners is so tough, yada yada yada, but this was really SO TOUGH! That’s why I am glad you are doing the voting for me to pick the final winner of the party party, that will get $30 to Paper [...]
Last year, around this time, my friend, Jennifer, asked me for some ideas for a car-themed birthday she was throwing for her 4-yr.-old son. That inspired this post, full of fun “High-octane” party ideas. She ended up throwing a fabulous party that my kids and I got to attend, and I took lots of pictures [...]
