a few birthday party photos...

Here are some photos of the birthday group. My GD , Delaney, is in the second row - right side with the pink boa. Foods served where hot raspberry tea, or hot strawberry chocolate (pink) and little tea cakes - raspberry swirled pound cake, chocolate mini-cakes in pink cupcake holders, pink smiley cookies. Napkins were 'found' tea towels (Ross or TJMAXX) and homemade Mazzanti's ice cream (the family business) Decor was pink tulle and 'pearls' in the chandelier and on the table runner.

Pencil pouches...

Clearance pencil pouches , HT vinyl and bling added to make another favor for the Fancy Nancy birthday party. Chester's is cut from Flame DUCK TAPE - I just applied a strip of it on my cutting mat.

Used plastic champagne glasses from the dollar store - hot pink and black vinyl and some of the ZEBRA print Duck vinyl (harder to cut for me) used E6000 to glue on the 'pearls' and the studded pink ribbon. Put battery operated tea lights in them. Hope the 9 year olds like them!

from $1.00 Buckets...

Stumbled upon these big black buckets at the Dollar Spot in Target and knew we had the makings for some super bowl decorations. Used SCAL (Sure Cuts a Lot) and my Cricut to deck these bowls. I now need to either find a plastic bag to fit in it --- or simply use them as beer coolers filled with ice. don't trust plastics from China for food storage!!! Cute none the less!!! GO STEELERS!!!
