Masks and Tails

I watched E's friend today while her mom was at girl's camp. They wanted to make masks and tails, so I pulled out the felt. E wanted a lion tail, and his friend wanted a "cookoo tail with every color." So we whipped up some tails and masks. They had so much fun playing!

Sunshine & Lemonade Party

Here is everything from Susie's Sunshine and Lemonade party:

I ordered her invites from this etsy shop: ETSY

I used mason jars for adults and cups for the kids. I found the cups and tablecloth at Target! Perfect!

I made strawberry lemonade and sparkling pineapple lemonade.

I was so excited to display her month pictures. I also displayed her quilt square (even though it's still round). I'll do a separate post on it.

Our friend Lynsey made the smash cake and cupcakes. SO adorable!

I served popcorn (or cop-orn as Emmett called it) in cute paper cones, strawberry lemonade cookies, carrots and ranch, and fruit kabobs.

I loved the mason jars. I found the lids on ebay.

The front door (Thanks mom!)

Her chair was all prettied up too. She had a blast!

Book Swap Party

My book club has a hard time meeting anymore, so I wanted to plan something fun. I saw an idea to have a book swap party, where everyone brings a book to give away and we swap. I planned a trivia game with quotes from the books we've read over the years. I printed those out on old library cards. The invitations used a template I found on pinterest, and then I also gave a bookplate to include in the books to explain why they brought that book. We had a great time laughing and reminiscing!

Baby Flannel Blanket

A dear friend from work is having a baby after a long hard struggle. I was SO happy to be able to make this blanket for her baby!

Elsa Cape

I did a craft exchange with a friend - she crocheted Elsa and Anna hats for my nieces, and I made an Elsa cape for her daughter. I used felt for around the neck, and glued some snowflakes with rhinestones around it. It's so fun making girly things!
