Ideas are Brewing!
Wow! It has been way to long since I have even looked at my blog ~ nevermind written a post! So let's see, I obviously need to post a new birthday party idea soon and since my daughter is turing 4 next week I will be featuring her birthday party ~ Party Like a Princess!!! She is a Cinderella girl through and through ~ if she could get away with wearing her cinderella dress to school she would wear it every day ~ along with some funky striped leggings, pink cowbow boots, and her favorite striped sweater of course! Since she is only turning 4 this party will still be mostly of the family type ~ we are not ready for a kids party yet in our house! I will share lots of princess party ideas (focusing on Cinderella) many of which I will use ~ and I will let you share in the process as I make my first princess dress cake ~ I am so excited, I can't wait!!!

A Very Merry Un-Birthday To You!
Why wait for their next birthday to throw a fabulous party? Instead have an Alice inspired merry Un-Birthday! And while we are at it, let's start with the cake!
 |
| Queen of Hearts Cake |
 |
| Flowers & Fringe Cake |
 |
| Perfection |
Next are some adorable skirts from a lovely shop I happened across... They are also incredibly affordable so grab a few for your party guests too!
I love, love, love them... visit justkiddingboutique
Now, let's talk hats...
I think that proper tea parties hat are required, and why shouldn't they be???

| Visit Amarmi's Shop |
And to serve your tea...
 |
| This little tea set is a bit pricey, but it is gorgeous! And to eat, well other than cake of course... I would suggest serving lots of tiny fun sandwiches (which you can cut with small cookie cutter in a variety of shapes) such as; Tuna Salad Chicken Salad Peanut Butter & Fresh Strawberry Jam Cucumber Sandwiches For "Tea" I would serve up a lovely fruit punch, I found a recipe that combines strawberries, lemonade, and tea (choose decaf for your own sake, and taste before adding in the sugar to see if you think it is needed)  And now, on to the decorations! These little pinwheels would look adorable tucked into tiny pots of flowers, you could have a tiny flower for each girl to bring home as a party favor.  And how fabulous would these tags be on your Tea Pot, Punch Bowl, Sandwich Platter, etc...?!?!   I think that flowers are a must for your tea party, whether they be in pots or vases. Another decoration that doubles as a parting gift would be to have a candy buffet. You can line up mason or apothecary jars filled with candies of all sorts, including; lollipops, peppermint sticks, gummies, nonparells, etc... Supply bags for your guests to pick their favorites to take home. I would layer several beautiful tablecloths on your table, using vintage tablecloths would bring a sweet touch, as well as a varitey of fabrics to create a fun, romantic, eclectic mix. Encourage your party guests to come dressed to the 9's and a photoshoot would be a fabulous idea for such a decadant tea party. Simply hang up some big sheets or large panels of fabric to use as backdrops. You can take the photos yourself, hire a professional, or check if you local high school or college has a photography program ~ you may be able to hire a student to take photos for you. While you will have a discounted photographers rate, the student will gain experience ~ a winning combo! Another party favor that will be adored by your guests would be lovely garden party pixie dust necklaces.  And last but certainly not least the invitations ~ here is an adorable Un-birthday birthday invitation.  If you have had a wonderland party of your own please feel free to comment and leave your own ideas! Thanks so much to Courtney of CMM Jewelry who submitted this party idea for my blog contest! Her prize for winning my contest is this fabulous pixie dust/mermaid bottle!  |

Breakfast On A String
What better way to start the day than creating your own breakfast necklace? Anticipating a day full of thunderstorms today I was prepared for making lots of crafts (a.k.a. messes) Our first was these very fashionable necklaces soon dubbed "Breakfast On A String" - I know, I know so original - gotta love the new Fruit Loops with "sprinkles" we also have regular "boring" Fruit Loops but I honestly can't tell the difference. Turns out it was over 70 degrees all day and we spent the entire day outside so this is the only indoor craft we made and we ate the mess, so all in all it was a fabulous start to a fabulous day!
Can you tell which of my girls is early to rise and who likes to sleep in? Riley would laze around in bed all morning if I let her!
