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! 

It's Time For A Luau!

Start with these adorable Luau party invitations!

Add in this fabulous skirt/tank combo for the party princess.

Hula Girl Set

 If your party is for a boy I would suggest Khaki shorts and an adorable hawaiian shirt.



Flower Hair Clips

Party Food

A fabulous idea for a luau is kabobs, easy to grab hold and eat for little fingers!  A great spin on kabobs is to do fruit Kabobs and this is also a fabulous activity for party goers of all ages.  Simply leave out trays filled with chunks of fresh pineapple, melons, strawberry halves, grapes, kiwi slices, etc.  Provide skewers and your guests can make their own perfect kabobs with their favorites!

With the fruit kabobs I would serve up some bbq chicken and potato or pasta salad, simple yummy foods kids are sure to gobble up!  For beverages I woulde try out a new fun punch recipe like...

Luscious Slush Punch

mmmmmmm....yummy!

And how cute would be these adorable umbrellas that you have with customized and then print and make your own!  You can even pick your own colors!!!


Custom Drink Umbrellas



oh, and the cake...

Pixie Dust "Lei"



Handmade Candy Leis

For a cute twist on the standard Lei you can have your party guests create their own candy Leis. You will need lots of individually wrapped candies for this project!  Anything from Tootsie Rolls(the colored ones would be perfect) to hard candies will work.  I found instructions from Martha Stewart here.  But if you are having young children staples may not be a great idea, I instead would try tape and the the little ones can do it themselves as a party activity!

Time To Hula!

If your party guests are old enough learning to hula may be the perfect party activity to burn off some energy as well as get some laughs!

I found this website that describes the basics to hula dancing.  Another option would be to watch You Tube videos of hula lessons online or if you are able to, hire and instructor/performer for your party to teach the guest for while you sit back and relax with a Mai Tai!  Cute grass skirts can be purchased at most party supply stores and even on orientaltrading.com ($20 for 12 kiddie skirts) as well as some other cute supplies like a tropical grass skirt for your table!

If doing the traditional hula isn't your thing, how about hula hoops?!?! 

Tooth Fairy Dust

Here are a couple of cute little presents the Tooth Fairy likes to leave under pillows in exchange for teeth!

All of these desings can be made as necklaces or can be just the bottles & charms and will come in their own muslin pouch.  These necklaces/fairy dust bottles can be made in a variety of colors simply contact me in my etsy store (www.market1.etsy.com) or send me a message on facebook.

Flitter, Flutter, Butterfly!

Spring has sprung, and to say I'm excited is a huge understatement!  In honor of the warmer months ahead, the stunning flowers begining to bloom all around, and the lush green grass (thanks to my husbands frequent fertilizing of our lawn) I have begun using some lovely little butterflies on my pixie dust.  These beauties are all handmade by me using wire and glass seed beads.  Perfect!
