Easy Disney Princess Party

My baby wanted a Princess party this year. It was her first party and she informed me, "I want a cake with Princesses on it. ALL of them." haha! I just made a simple sheet cake and set little princess figurines on top. Done! We borrowed the decorations and I had all the girls dress up. As the guests arrived, I had them color a crown to wear and we had Princess movie clips from Youtube playing in the background.

We made a "Pin the tiara on the Princess game"

I found a Disney Princess memory game for cheap and it was one of the games for prizes we played.

I put together goody bags with whatever I could find around town - princess tattoos, pencils, Lipsmackers, suckers and graham snacks - all princess!

We played with balloons and bubbles and then opened presents and had cake and ice cream.

The Princess enjoyed her party and it was a success!!!

Owl and Cherry Blossom Themed Baby Shower {lots of pictures!}

I had the opportunity to throw a baby shower for my sister-in-law. Here is a picture journal of all the things I put together. It was a success and I had so much fun doing it!

The Invitations

Handmade cards and envelopes.

The Decorations

Here is the beginning of the diaper wreath. My sweet mother in law also found a ton of little owls, owl ribbon, cherry blossom stems, fabric, and dishes for the shower.

The Party Favors

I made Owl Cupcakes (using snack size oreos and reeses pieces) then placed them in clear plastic cups with cellophane and topped with handmade tags.

The Table Spread

I forgot to get a close up (darn!) of the popcorn bags I made (seen here in the top right hand corner). I made pink white chocolate popcorn and put it in bags that said "Ready to Pop!"

The finished and hung decorations.

The banner. You can see the tutorial for this here. I found the owl templates on Pinterest and I just printed, cut and glued the letters.

Easy Homemade Paper Flag Banner Garland {no cost}

I promise I am not teasing you about the girl's room - I will post pictures soon! I just have a few more projects to finish up and I don't want to put up pictures until it's ALL done.

In the meantime, here is a fun, quick, easy project anyone can do!

I whipped this up in a half hour. For this project you will need: scrapbook paper, yarn, a stapler, scissors, ruler, pencil, and homemade template.
To save paper and time, I figured the easiest way was to cut the paper in half so you have 6" x 12" pieces. I wasnt sure how many papers I would need to cover the length so I attatched them first, then cut the triangle out of the bottom.
I attatched them by simply folding the paper over the yarn (I eyed it) and stapling 3 times across the fold.
Then I made a 6" x 12" template from recycled cardboard that came in the scrapbook package and using a ruler and pencil made a triangle on the bottom and cut it out. I then traced this onto each flag and cut them out. I tacked them to the walls with tacs and it was perfect! I love how it will be able to be used again and again!
