We arrived in Orlando yesterday and we're boarding the new Disney ship Fantasy today! I will not be posting for a week. However, I will be updating Facebook when I can (if you care to see) :) Upon my return I will be in full party mode because I will have 1 week until Maduson's 5th birthday! Tons of DIY projects! I was nominated again this year for Top 25 Party Planning Moms by Cirle of Moms. Maddycakes Muse finished #17 last year. I'll be gone all week so won't be actively begging.... I mean asking you to vote so if your reading this please take a second to click over and vote by hitting the thumbs up... No registration required. Thanks! Vote HERE!
 Here is Madison's invite for her My Little Pony party. She wanted all the colors of the rainbow for her party just like the ponies. I thought this printable invite by Printable Candee Designs was perfect. Chelsie was awesome to get me the invites quick so I can get them passed out before Madison's last day of school which is tomorrow! YIKES!!! Where has the time gone??  You know I had to have more than just a paper invite though....right? Yes, you know me! So I added these adorable glitter ponies found at Dollar Tree. I got them in blue, pink and purple...so cute! Plus I found these already decorated cylinders at Dollar Tree too! Perfect! Put contents inside and done! I think Madison's friends will like!   By far the most requested party I get from my children party business is my Signature Princess party! Every little girl loves to play dress up and become princesses! Not until being a speaker at SNAP did I realize that many of you really would like some of my "insider" tips and tricks! Well, I will start sharing more of my tricks and parties with you. SO you are having a princess party and your little girl wants a princess? To hire one it can run you up to $150! Want to know what I do???  Buy yourself some Rit Dye...it comes in every color of the rainbow and then some! Go buy you a used wedding gown.....with no train please! I find mine either at Goodwill or on Craigslist. Better deals at Goodwill though! I should have taken a picture when it was still white...sorry! I simply put the gown in my washing machine and add the dye. Let the washing machine do all the work for you.    Rit Dye- $1.79 at Wal-Mart Having a Princess meet your Princess......Priceless!  Here are the teacher's gifts Madison gave today. I just love them. While at the SNAP conference in Utah, I went to the Tulip Festival and bought these from a vendor.  However for my crafty peeps I know that you can recreate~ Using a block of wood, wood apple, paint, some tulle, ribbon and your cutting machines! I want to give gifts all week. You saw the apple cakepops on Facebook that Madison gave on Monday, right? You're not a fan on FB?? What.??...you are missing a lot of parties, tips and pictures that I don't put on blog! I update FB daily ...click here to like me. It only takes a second. Thanks!!   I hope everyone had a wonderful Cinco de Mayo weekend. I spent the weekend at our condo in Mexico so the perfect place to celebrate! However, I had to get back home on Sunday for a party. I got home around 2:45 and the party was at 4 pm! Yikes...I pushed it a little too much this time! Luckily my sweet hubby help set up the tables and chairs and cleaned up the outside for me! This party was for my friend who graduated nursing school!
 The backdrop was gauze I picked up from the 99 cents store but I don't know if anyone got it! My neighbor is a Orthopedic surgeon so X-rays and skeleton came from him. I literally threw this table together in 5 minutes. I had many things that I wanted to do and would have done differently but when you are crunched for time you must adapt and overcome! Good thing I did most of my prep work before I left for the beach!!
 Although I love printables, I didn't have the time to have any made for this party so I decided to go "Old School" and make simple labels using card stock, Word and a stamp! Easy, quick and cheap! I put Dollar store band-aids on the treat boxes to tie in theme. It is possible to have a dessert table without having any CUSTOM food items~ all store bought items.  I would have made my own cupcakes but then people would really have needed a doctor and I don't like the taste of store bought so you can either go to a local bakery but I have a girl....lucky me! Cupcakes by Lizzy Sweets and Treats.   I made these Red Cross Oreos using white almond bark and Fruit Roll Ups for the crosses. Around the tray was gummy band aids. Those were eaten first before cookies by the kiddos!  Got this cute shot pen from Oriental Trading.  The utensils were placed in latex gloves.  Bought all the CVS bottles from Ebay and filled with Skittles. (These were a huge hit with adults and kids!)  Test Tube Bubbles from Dollar Tree. (Also got the red and white container from Dollar Tree- free)  The Germ Juice is hand sanitizer bought from WalMart for 88 cents. Just peeled off front label and replaced with stickers.  The Your Organ stickers and body from Oriental Trading. I placed these around on tables so people could test their knowledge. (I think the kids did better than the adults!)  Remember my first aid kits I showed you for the kiddos food??  Here are the contents. So easy to do and absolutely perfect for any party. Inside the pretty Bake It Pretty red and white stripped bags are Cheetos. I didn't know they were such a greasy chip!! I always include Wet Wipes also!!  This was done by a 8 year old boy...I have no idea if it's close to being correct but it looked good to me!     The Stuck on You would be super easy to do!   I love them all .... not which one to do??
I am giving my friend graduating nursing school a graduation party on this Sunday. However, just found out from the hubby that he wants to go to our condo for Cinco de Mayo this weekend. So that leaves me with 3 days to get everything ready. We will get back on Sunday and I will have about 2 hours for set up. I've found the most convenient way to serve the kiddos at parties is to "pack" a lunch. Of course make it cute and either theme or color related. I have a lot of these white boxes from Smart and Final. I use them all of the time. For this theme I simply made a Word Document with a Red Cross and First Aid Kit. Oh how I wish I was a talented graphic designer but in this case I think it works just fine. I will put the kiddos sandwich, chips and fruit inside. I always put in a packaged Wet Wipe as well. I will get a picture of the contents for you on Sunday. I haven't forgotten about posting about SNAP. Just busy with work and trying to play catch up. I have a lot of exciting things in the works that will be revealed soon my peeps!

How cute are these pinata cookies by She Knows? I LOVE them! Great for Cinco de Mayo or any fiesta!! I want these for my Fiesta Forty-Five party! I'm not a baker and looks like a lot of steps but so worth it!   |
