Addie's Art Party

Oh my...where did October go?  Here is the long promised art party post.  We had so much fun at this one.  It was pretty simply decorated but, had so many fun activities.  We had a baby shower right before the party (that we attended), so we only had a little time to set up after they cleaned up the shower, but I was rather pleased with the party.  It was so enjoyable watching the kids paint and draw and create.  So anyway, check out the pictures and hopeful they provide you with a little inspiration. Enjoy!

Ingrid's First Birthday




Here is Ingrid's first birthday party.  It was Princess and the Pea themed.  I wanted something fun and girlie, since this will most likely be my last first birthday party.  I really had fun with all the details.  We had it late morning and did a brunch, which seemed appropriate for a sleepy princess.  Hope you enjoy all the pictures!



The Little Princess

I love pinterest and spent a lot of time there trying to come up with ideas.  There were a lot of great ideas and it was hard to narrow it down.


I made ruffle cupcakes with a little sixlet candy for the pea.


I found an old high chair at goodwill and painted it to match the party.  I really loved the way it turned out.


The cake was also a ruffle cake.  I used a sixlet on it as well and put a little lace crown on top.


I took a dollar store candle and added buttons, jewels, paint, and glitter to make it a little more fit for a princess.


The kids table.  I covered a table in sheets and put a headboard behind it.


What's a Princess and the Pea Party without displaying the pea.

Brunch!

I made the cake table tablecloth to resemble stacked matresses.


Ingrid enjoyed her cake and her party!  It was such a blast.  Thanks for stopping by and taking a look.
