I'm a finalist-3 times over!

Kendra over at Me & My Insanity is holding her 2nd annual Blogoversary Party. 3 of my parties made it into her TOP 10! One of them is my most popular party-the Mad Hatter Tea party.
The second one is the Breakfast at Tiffany's party my tea group threw for our friend Suzanne for her 50th birthday.

The third one is my Slumber party. It was also featured on HWTM a few weeks ago.

Lastly, my Indiana Jones party got an Honorable Mention for one of the best Adventure parties.
Please head on over to check out all of the amazing parties and VOTE for your favorite. The winner gets a $30 gift certificate to Paper and Cake. I just LOVE them! They did my son's custom paper for his Adventure party.

I've Gone Mad!

... Mad for the new Alice in Wonderland movie coming to theaters on March 5 (my wedding anniversary). Since I introduced my Mad Hatter Tea party in July, it has quickly become my most popular party. Not only with children but with adults as well; I hosted a 65th Un-Birthday party.
Please check out the Movie Trailer. It is so amazing...I can hardly wait!

I have had calls from brides asking if I rent out the party for showers or wedding receptions. I love this Save-the-Date card from Grey Like Weddings. It is a universal theme!

Sweet Dreams

Melissa at A Little Loveliness hosted the sweetest slumber party for her oldest daughter, Mary Ashley.
The invitations were personalized paper dolls of the birthday girl herself in a hand made bed.

Melissa made coordinating pajamas for her daughters and all of the guests.

The party table was set up like a bed similar to the one in my slumber party. The details are just amazing. Melissa is such a talented mother and gives such thought and love into everything she does for her family. Another beautiful celebration, Melissa!

Fabric Favor Bags

I am in the middle of putting together an American Girl Felicity colonial party. I LOVE history and this party has been so fun to put together! For the favor bags, I want to make fabric bags in period looking fabric. These bags I found at various UK and Australian sites have been a great inspiration.
The favors consist of wooden dominos, wooden spinning top, wooden yo-yo, jacks and old fashioned candy sticks.

I'm going to buy flour sack cloths at the dollar store, cut them in half and have the girls sew on a ribbon tie (sewing kit is also a favor) to make an apron to wear. I'm also going to make mob caps for them to wear during the party, teach them period dancing and games. Stay tuned for table settings!
