E's birthday Party

Aloha Friends!! Welcome to E's 10th birthday party! My goodness this party was FUN!

Decorations all ready to set the mood!!

The cake the had me in tears. Is it really that bad, absolutely not. It's just not our usual kind of cake, It's much more simplistic and really now looking back, it's beautiful. 

All of the stitch goodies.

 Friends dressed up! Kaydence, Naomi, E, Emma & Lucy. This is the first year that we have only had school friends over and honestly it was such a wonderful change of pace. Small group, the girls were all the same age. We had a great time!

 

 First thing we did was screenprint some tote bags. For some reason in my mind I saw this process going so much faster than it did. I planned a two hour party and we were almost an hour and a half in by the time we finished the totes. note to self.... give yourself more time!

 

Then we ca,e upstairs to make our little scrumps. This was a absolute gong show but it was so so fun!!

It was at this time that we started to loose girls because our time was up. We sent them home with a tote full of activities that we didn't get finished. Oops.  

Drinks while they worked.

E and Emma

E and her bestie Lucy.

Our finished Scrumps! Holy Moses they are so dang darling!

Now I felt absolutely terrible because we ran out of time for E to have her friends sing Happy birthday and eat her cake. E was so dang sweet and posed for pictures regardless but it broke my Mama heart a bit!

WE made E a Stitch shirt when we made the totes. 

Making her water bottle.

And while the party was fun E got to have a "late over" with her bestie Lucy. They spent the day playing and Lucy came around the corner with a striped tiger. I asked her about it and she said that it's her favorite stuffy. Like Sprout's Elephant. I laughed and told the girls to wait a second while I headed up to the attic. I pulled down my Beanie Baby tote and started sifting through it. I have the exact same tiger. The girls were so stoked to have twinning tigers. Lucy's is named "Fluffy" so they named E's "Scruffy". 

And that's another wrap on a birthday. It's was busy and wonderful and I'm happy it's been checked off the list! Happy birthday E!!! You are so loved!!!

Stitch Birthday Prep

 E's birthday this year was rather last minute. She had wanted to do a Stitch birthday but in the beginning of January all luau decor was out of stock. So we decided to go with a craft themed party. I headed to the dollar store for a few random items and low and behold all of the summer stuff was out!! I grabbed what I could and a stitch party was set in motion.

We made water bottles. The prep for this was simple but time consuming!

I love my Cricut!!

I made a balloon arch and tissue papae flowers to decorate the wall. The nice part was this party was pretty easy to throw together. E loved the final result. 

I love being able to do these things for my babes! 

Aloha friends! It's time to party!

Valentines Boxes

 

Our weekend was so busy that we waited until after Church to make the kids Valentines boxes. Bad idea on my behalf. Usually I have all the supplies that we'd need but I was running short on several key items. 

 duke really wanted to make Picachu and I just didn't have enough yellow anything to make it happen. I felt so bad. Duke was awesome and told me it would be okay to re make Patrick Mahomes (Roo ripped it apart two day before.) We took off the old head and made him a new body. He looked awesome!

 E wanted to do Stitch and once again Mama's supplies were lacking. We made it work with an assist from Daddy.

Oh gosh I love these kids and the grace they have with me! Their boxes turned out awesome!

Happy Valentines Eve!

Pinners Conference

My friend Liz called me Wednesday morning and asked if i wanted to go to the Pinners Convention on Saturday. ABSOLUTELY! I have never been to one and it was a blast. I feel like the classes we signed up for weren't worth it, but just walking around at all of the booths was incredible. They also had a few make and take tables where we could make key chains and things which was fun.

It was the best afternoon being with a friend chatting and being inspired by allllll of the crafting things.

Can not wait for next year!
