Party Time: 1D Swimming Party

My niece turned the big EIGHT last month. Because she had a huge supermodel runway show theme 7th birthday party, her parents decided on a "small" swimming party. Her one request? She wanted her party to be themed out for One Direction!

I settled on some 1D goodies, the flag and red-white-and-blue. So first, I got her striped paper straws.



We used some 1D posters and table mats. I made some Keep Calm flags that the kids were able to bring home. They were strategically planted in some lollipop-filled 1D mugs.



Lastly, we got Cake Avenue to make her dream cake. The inside of the cake are red, white and blue layers of lemon sponge. Yum!



Estelle loves those five boys. And well...

Weekly Wrap-Up: No Tape!

Who said gift-wrapping required tape? All you need for this particular method is twine and a few popicle sticks.



Find a really nice box. Wrap the twine around a few times, and thread the twine through some punched popsicle sticks. Paint the popsicle sticks a pretty color. You can even use the popsicle sticks as your gift tags!



Sorry it took me over a year to write another gift-wrap entry! More to come.

Current Craft: Wire Jewelry

One of my recent craft supply purchases were spools of wire that came in such adorable colors--think old rose, turquoise and burnt sienna.



It was hoarded up with my other craft supplies until I came up with this idea to make some rings out of them.



Digital weekly magazine Gathered by Mollie Makes even included my instagram photo of the ring on their Show & Tell Section in Issue 23.



Let's see what other projects I can cook up next!
