I thought I would give you a peek at a few things that have shown up in my mailbox lately to aid in my party planning endeavors. I’m actually thinking I will hold on the the ABC cups for a little while. I’m thinking “A is for Alec” could make a very cute first birthday…
One more quick paint project from the past! This was one of my first real spray painting projects, a few years back for my son’s 3rd birthday. I was so impressed with the power of the paint! I had a vision to make lunch pails as favors, and serve-ware for the construction-themed party. Any pails that were…
Our Christmas in July party is still going strong. The linky list will be open through Tuesday night, so it isn’t too late to share your fabulous ideas with us and get a chance at winning the Christmas gift tags from The TomKat Studio. Speaking of Kim and the TomKat Studio, if you haven’t been…

I especially love how she always pulls her projects and parties together with a reasonable budget! *** I have been thinking for awhile now how fun a tricycle-themed baby shower would be….
Ok. This is going to be my last post for a while, before turning things over to my talented guest bloggers, unless I have baby news to report, or unless I am bored of having no baby news to report and decide to blog to pass the time. I am happy to report that I…
What did birthday parties look like in 1904? I’m not sure, but I tried to figure it out for my daughter’s 9th b-day party this weekend. Being largely pregnant, and all, I tried to simplify a little from what I would normally do (but it never quite works out that way). Several months ago, they…
