Party On

Y’all- I’m about to skip over a few days in this week’s photo challenge. Yep- you heard it. I’m going to skip long exposure and “technology” for a bit and bring it back in a week or two. That’s okay though right because 1) there’s more than 28 days in a 30 day challenge so we’ll need extras for that last week and 2) I totally feel horrible. Day 15: Silhouette                                       Day 18: Shoes                                       Day 19: Orange                          ...

There is so much Hello Kitty stuff out there I don’t know where to start! The nice thing about throwing a Hello Kitty party is, you can buy practically anything you want off-the-shelves and still be theme specific. Have you seen   Birthday Express and Party City’s collections? Wow. Just wow. I probably would not have every single party item with a kitty face on it myself, but that’s for you to decide. One giant kitty face for a nice game of “Pin the Bow on the Kitty” would be fun though. Check this one out- SO cute! A cute Kitty lantern I think would be a must. Our little owl friend needs a mate don’t you think? And  Hello Kitty headbands look easy enough to make. I love the idea of using blue and pink poms , but I also like the idea of using balloons or Chinese lanterns . Any way you go it’s a win-win as far as cost-effectiveness goes. This table tutu is super cute too! Now, since the table is wearing a tutu, Kali would not (GASP!) I know! I’m bre...

I could totally see a Cinderella party working for Kali’s November party. Pumpkins will be in season and I’ve got to tell you, they make amazing centerpieces. Check out this p umpkin fixture and this adorable pumpkin carriage . In love! Target made it even easier with this pumpkin carriage kit . I love the idea of making her a “K” of flowers like this one here . It would be fun for the party, but would also add a lot to her room re-do . These character cut-outs are cost effective and really add to the feeling and what could be better than some tasty pink popcorn? This carriage would be memorable while this castle cut-out would make such a cute dessert background! My dad is awesome at making the craziest, most elaborate things out of cardboard (and other materials) so I would be excited to see this carriage come to life. I probably would want to leave the carriage empty on the inside so the kids could have fun playing in it. After having made colorful pinwheels for the owl-rai...

There are so many well done Ariel parties I don’t even know where to begin with the inspiration! Of course there would need to be seashells and bubbles , balloons , or pom-poms to give you the underwater feel. These sequined seaweed fabric streamers (so cool) or sequined table cloth would do the trick too. Let’s talk food. This drink adds just the right feel and I just love this ice-cream cone cake . I could see Kali loving this jello too! So cool. The sand-effect on these cupcakes is awesome too. I’m thinking crushed graham cracker? The Workman Family had goldfish in a fish bowl for their party. Such a smart idea! And their party was super cute too. As far as activities go, these clothespin mermaids are a must! I’d love to get her one of these very cute outfits. You think I like tutus?
