Garden Marker Gift

I made these garden markers out of clay as a Mother's Day gift for my mom. 
I saw the idea on Pinterest of course!  HERE it is!



Banner for an Art Party

My friend's little girl is turning three and having an Art Party!  I can't wait to see her decorations!  She goes all out on birthdays like we do. :)
Check out the digital clipart set that I used from Maree Truelove's Etsy Shop.

Pool Party!

Pool/water party for my two year old son! :)

 
Digital invite.  I used digital clipart from DigitalBake Shop.

Stamped envelopes for the invitations.

I made this circle punch garland from scraps of paper that were in my craft room recycle box.  I got the idea HERE.  I was amazed at how fast and easy this was.  My sewing machine pulled them right through, nice and straight.  I just kept feeding them in. The other nice thing is that they don't seem to want to get tangled.







Small bottles of Gatorade recovered as "Pool Water."

Water bottle labels.
I made a different fish out of felt for each treat pail.

Contents of the treat pails.

Each one was also personalized with vinyl letters made on my Cricut machine.

Start of the "Happy Birthday" banner.  I stamped sea critters on the circles.

Another banner I made.

Confetti made with a regular hole punch.

I sewed three rolls of crepe paper together to create this doorway decoration. 
The kids had fun walking through it.



Big number 2 cut out of foam board and covered in circles.


I wrapped the trees in the crepe paper that I sewed.

About 400 water balloons thanks to my husband!



Fish swimming in Sixlet "water."  My son has a peanut allergy,
so we use Sixlets instead of M&Ms.

Fruit skewers.  Idea from the wonderful Pinterest.

Funfetti cake batter buddies, beach mix, and "beach balls." 
I got all these ideas from Pinterest. :)

Pinkalicious Party



I'm helping out with a Pinkalicious party,
and I have to say, it's fun making all this pink girly stuff!

I had taken these pictures for the birthday girl's mom and didn't anticipate
posting these to the blog, so you get to enjoy my sons' artwork in the background. 





Wand for smacking the pinata.

This was my first time tinting mason jars, so one of them is a little gloopy. 
These are for a party game.
I mod podged scrapbook paper to fancify these clothespins for the game.  I got this idea here.

Bookmark party favors.

The label on the left was a free printable, and I designed the one on the right to go with it.
