Two things… 1.) Have you all seen Oh Joy’s! Collection for Target? So colorful and perfect for Spring! I am so elated to see when a fellow blogger makes their dreams come true. 2.) Have you seen pictures of the party that she threw for her launch? I can’t even find the words.
I am loving this handmade garland from Hoopsy Daisies. We made similar garland at E’s 7th birthday party. They are adorable and pretty easy to make if you have a sewing machine, craft cutters and time. If you are missing one of the above… Place your order here.
It’s hard to believe it’s been three months already, but I am finally getting around to posting pictures of E’s sleepover.
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.
We filled these boxes from Michael’s with all kinds of spa goodies. We wrapped the tops in paper from the printables.
I printed paper and glued them together to make a table runner.
We mod podged the same paper to a cardboard E from JoAnn’s… and also used it for the banners.
We made individual s’mores packages for each girl. You can get the boxes here.
I just love how they turned out.
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. 
i think they had fun. 😉

Every year, I find myself racing like a maniac to find last minute treat-free favors for my girls’ school birthday. (Life would be sooooo much easier if I could just buy two dozen cupcakes.) This is what E and I came up with this year ($1 marker sets from the Dollar Store.)
I received a few emails asking about the printable– well ladies, today is your lucky day. I finally figured out how to upload it- so you can go nuts. Just have your little nuggets sign their own names. Now just get your asses down to the Dollar Store and buy $30 worth of crappy markers. 😉
Sometimes I feel like I need to check in with my iPhone to see if things in my life really happened. That is the case last weekend- I arrived home from NYC at midnight on Thursday and scurried for the next 36 hours to pull together E’s birthday party as well as a porch photoshoot. Despite an amazing level of stress, fast food, acne and lack of showers- we got it done. I can’t wait to show you all the pictures! Here’s what I do have (from my iPhone.)
Tomorrow night we will be having a sleepover with 13 girls. Oye. I can’t believe my baby is 8!
