Sleepover Invitations

It’s hard to believe it’s been three months already, but I am finally getting around to posting pictures of E’s sleepover.

Cupakes

All of the invitations and party printables were custom made and will be available online soon.  If you are looking to purchase them immediately, email me.  We were able to make so many decorations from the printable package.  I loved how everything turned out!

We attached cutouts of the pillow design from the invitation to lollipop sticks from Michael’s and used them as cupcake toppers.

Sleepover Party Favors

We filled these boxes from Michael’s with all kinds of spa goodies.  We wrapped the tops in paper from the printables.

Flowers

I printed paper and glued them together to make a table runner.

Fireplace

We mod podged the same paper to a cardboard E from JoAnn’s… and also used it for the banners.S'mores Boxes

We made individual s’mores packages for each girl.  You can get the boxes here.

Porch

We made several attempts to dip the balloons in glitter.  The first prototypes had way more glitter, but I didn’t account for the weight of the glitter weighing down the balloons.  This was the most glitter that we could apply and still allow them to float.  Flowers

bummer.

Well, after a great week down in Savannah, we came home to our first casualty on the back porch.    My painting was blown off the mantle and ripped.  Total bummer.  Does anyone know if you can get artwork repaired?

paint it gold.

It’s no big secret that I am a lover of gold spray paint.  I wanted to share yet another tryst in our long, laborious affair.

IMG_1161My parents bought this table in 1977, the year they bought our beach condo.  It was in rough shape (totally rusted and scratched) and didn’t make the cut after the redesign.  So I loaded it into the truck and hauled it home hoping to use it somewhere on our back porch that was being built at the time.Back Porch

Well, 20 minutes and a few coats of gsp and she has a whole new life-  currently being used as a bar cart on the porch.

Because it’s outside 24/7 there is some minor patina that occurs, but I love it.  It add character.Bar Cart Setup Bar Tabletop drinks tabletop
