Bumble Bee Birthday Party

What a fun theme for a little girl's 1st birthday party. We have a crafty little friend that often inspires us with her own awesome ideas. Here are a few pics from her daughter's party.

Gift Idea

Tickle Monster Kit

As many birthday parties we have to attend these days it gets so hard to come up with the perfect gift everytime and as obsessive as I am I'm always on the hunt for the cutest gift.  AND since our "Spoilt Littles" get so many gifts these days, I love to find unique things that I know they won't already have.  So while searching through all my favorite blogs I stumbled across this.

It's a tickle monster Kit complete with book and tickle monster gloves.  So darn cute!  I love giving and getting books for gifts.  I'm already thinking through how many little ones I can order this for.  If you want one too, you can find it here.

Ice Cream Birthday Party

Ice Cream parties are the best!!

This party was so much fun to put together and who doesn't LOVE ice cream.  That would simply be

un -American.

Here's the build your own Sundae table....

I loved the cone jars....

The local bakery decided to take the week of the party off for vacation.  Can you believe the nerve.  Never fret....I googled ice cream cone cupcakes and as you can imagine, thankfully and expectantly, there were numerous tutorials on how to make your own.  I was very skeptical at first and did come up with my own version and voila.  I have to say I am quite proud of my simple rendition. :)

The party favors. 

I found the ice cream cups at our local $1 store and the bubbles at Walmart for $1.  Filled them with ice cream cone bubbles also found at the $1 store and some yummy candy.  Topped with white paper topping, a cherry sour and of course a pixie stick straw.  To be fair I included the same candy attached to the big bubbles.  I gave the cups to the girls and the big bubbles to the boys.  Everyone seemed pleased.

And this is why I spend hours putting it all together.
