I'm here, just busy getting ready for Emma's birthday party on Saturday, as well as company coming in town Sunday. Her party is an American Girl luncheon. Every thing is coming together despite the fact that I appear to be coming down with something.This is some of what's been keeping me busy. These are the goody cones for our guests and our little conversation starter box with questions like: "If you could have any super power you wished, what would it be?" Emma says she would wish for sea powers so she could breath under water and talk to the fish. What a great idea! Those of you who were at Silver Bella might recognize the tarted up pink box below that we got in our goody bags the first night. Apparently the color theme for the party is blush and bashful. You can't go wrong with that, right?
Just found your fabulous blog and wanted to say hello!
ReplyDeleteYour post certainly makes me wish I had a little girl! :) I'll gladly settle for trucks, dinosaurs, and pirate parties - but a girl can dream eh?
Love the box and the cones are cute too...I can just see those spilling over with candy rings and candy bracelets and trinkets galor...that any mermaid would love! :D

ReplyDeleteEmma is a lucky young girl. She's going to LOVE her party. It sounds wonderful.
ReplyDeleteOh... I wish I were coming to the party. It looks like it will be fabulous! I have boys, so no frills for me, but you wouldn't know so by looking at my blog! LOL! I keep it girly for myself. I love your ideas and I'm going to follow your blog.
ReplyDeleteOne question... how do you get the differing sizes of fonts?
Love your cones and box. Don't you just love the American Girls?
ReplyDeleteEverything looks sooooo great! I hope the party was wonderful! I was really jealous when I read your comment to me that you had weather nice enough to have windows open and to be working in the yard - that sounds so lovely. We woke up with snow on the ground.
ReplyDeleteMy little one has her bday this week too! I remember that from last year-that they are so close for their special days! We are having a Glam A Pajama party. Think of me and 11 squealing little girls while you have your lovely luncheon...
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Emma! And what a wonderful mom you are Jen! How lucky your girls are :)
