Monkey Party Is Complete!

The monkey party turned out to be a huge success. Everyone had so much fun. I will post pictures from the party later hopefully this afternoon. I have to get the pictures downloaded to my computer.

I made a Practice Monkey Cake...

Okay I made a practice Birthday cake for Hannah.... I was not sure how to make a Monkey Cake since I have never done one before... I think it turned out quite cute. Tell me what you think...

Still working on Monkey Party!!

I am running Really Short on time..... I just finished the monkey party favor cups. I'll post a picture of them soon.

Here they are..... of course they will have favors in them..

Spa Party is Complete!!

Let me begin by saying we had a wonderful time at Halona's 10th Birthday Party.

Everything turned out so nice and the girls had so much fun. 

The pictures I have posted do not do the party justice however, I have missed placed my camera when we moved and I had to use the built in camera on the Nintendo DSI to take pictures. I will try and find my nice camera before the next party on the 20th.

Here is how our night went...

When the guests arrived they were greeted and given their custom made bath robes and party favor basket.

Each basket contained their own manicure set, pedicure set, terry cloth hand towel,  bath sponge, two empty lip gloss containers (cause we made our own lip gloss) and a empty bottle for when we made bubble bath.

There was soft classical music playing in the background and scented candles were lit everywhere.

The girls then put on their bath robes and then went to the kitchen for a few things to eat.

We had a veggie tray, chicken salad finger sandwiches, chicken strips,

Chocolate covered strawberries, white and dark chocolate dipped pretzels,

Water bottles with "Happy Birthday Halona" printed on one side, and "Water" with flowers printed on the other side. We used pink and white rose petals to accent the tables,  manicure and pedicure stations.

Once they finished eating we let Halona open her presents

 Then we went back into the kitchen to sing "Happy Birthday" and cut the cake.

I wasn't sure what type of cake to make for a "Spa Themed Birthday Party" So I just make a sheet cake to look like a present and used red fruit roll ups to make the ribbon on the cake.

I will post the rest of the details in a little bit.....

More Party Details...

This has been a crazy week, I have just finished making the water bottle labels for the party and I am now working on the candies for the candy table and the treat boxes. I will add a picture of them this afternoon. I still have a lot of things to get done and Friday is almost here.

Spa Robes for the girls are complete!

I have just paid for the girls robes and I have to say they turned out wonderful! I am so excited.

Here are the images she sent me of the robes.

Here is the front of the bath robe.

Here is the back of the Robe.

I know the girls are going to love this treat.

More Details to the Spa Party!!!

Awhile back I decided that I would have Bath Robes made for each of the girls. So once they arrive they can put on their PJ's and Robes and let the party begin. Halona picked out the fabric which was Bubblegum Pink,

 and I found a wonderful lady named Susan on Etsy who is going to sew the robes for me. 

Her shop is at http://www.etsy.com/shop/srdodd make sure to visit her she is wonderful to deal with and will work with you anyway she can. Thanks again Susan! I cant wait wait to see how excited the girls will be at this party. All of the little details is what makes a difference.

More Parties in the Planning.

Ok I am still working on Halona's Spa Party, But I have two more children with birthdays in March so I am now in the planning process for those parties as well. Hannah will be turning 2 and her theme is going to be a Monkey Party. Since she is my aka.. Hannah Banana.....lol. Then there is Dustin who will be turning 15 this year.  I gave him the options for what type of Birthday party he wanted hand he has chosen to do a Glow In The Dark Retro Theme...  wow.... Looks like this month I am going to have my hands Full... :o)

Spa Party Invitations

I have just finished making the Invitations for Halona's Spa Party. I'm so excited they turned out so good. She wanted Green to be the main color of her party sine her favorite color is green. So I found some matching green Scrapbook paper and put my imagination to work. Here is what I came up with.

I made a sleep mask as the invitation. I hand stitched around the lace and used a brad to secure the photo turn, which is how the invitation opens to reveal the birthday party information.. 

I think they turned out so cute.

Spa Party Favor Baskets

I decided to make baskets for the party favors since at the party we will be giving the girls manicures and pedicures at the party. I included the essentials that each girl would need in order to have fun at the party and for future use at home.

Each basket contains a manicure and pedicure set, a terry cloth hand towel, a bath sponge, two empty lip gloss containers, and an empty bottle which we are using as part of the crafts we will be doing at the party. We are going to be making our own lip gloss and body wash to put into the empty containers.

This is going to be so much fun. I know the girls will have a blast at this party!!

Spa Birthday Party Theme!

The next upcoming party that is planned is for my daughter Halona. She is turning 10 and wants to have a Spa Themed Birthday Party. This Party is sure to be exciting and relaxing all at the same time. This will also be a new and exciting Challenge for me since I have never Hosted a Spa Party before.  :0)  I know that I am sure having fun making the preparations for this party. I will keep you all up to date with all of the items we will be having along with pictures to help inspire and maybe even spark a creative interest for your next Spa Themed Party.

Until next time,

Happy Planning!
