Amazing backdrop!

So I went to a activity for church. This night was a chance to recognize all the girls. The theme was the colors of the rainbow because each color represented a value that these girls stand for. Anyways the leader had made this awesome backdrop and this is what it was. Two different color streamers sown together and hung from a line. Genius! The sewing made the streamers ruffle and all the colors it was beautiful. It added so much to the night. It could be used for so many different things.

Christmas!

I know I've posted this before but I thought because its getting closer I would post this cute idea. All it is a dollar store cookie sheet, craft paper, and some decorative buttons/stickers! We had a craft girls night and it was great!

Halloween dance party!

So I'm involved with a church youth group and we were in charge of the Halloween dance! We were so excited until we was the nothing budget. 150 for all the decorations. That's it. Wow. So one of the members of this group is beyond awesome and build a spider web that cover the whole ceiling with just orange rope. I have a picture( it looked soooooo cool in real life)
Next we made a spider. He was made from Christmas wrapping paper, streamers, a roasting pan and a balloon with a grand total of 25 dollars. The table had an old candle holder with spider webs and Skeleton heads. We had branches that we put into buckets for trees and put lights in them. We had grave stones along the wall. In the hallway we had a balloon ceiling and skeletons( glow in the dark). Top it off with dollar webs, a fog machine, and some black lights and we had a blast.
The reason I know everyone loved it and it was such a awesome thing is because we got 500 kids there! The highest numbers since 2007! It rocked

Disney Cars Party

I loved doing this party. My boy is in love with Cars. The table was pretty easy. They have a lot of Disney cars stuff at the store so it wasn't hard to find.

I saw the cute tire tower on pinterest and it worked like a charm the rest of it was pretty easy to figure out. The black and white fans were 6 for 3.50. The big sign was drawn by my awesome neighbor. We had cars candy and bubbles. The mater hats were so cute I couldn't pass them up (6 dollars for 5)Most of the Disney cars stuff was from Zurchers.

The food turned out great even though it was a lot of work. We had chocolate donuts (easy) cars cookies (a lot of time), cake ( a lot of time), and cupcakes (easy). The cars cookies were made from the cookie cutters they sell at Walmart.The time consuming part was the frosting. The cake was kinda a pain but worth it. Lots of frosting.

My mom did an awesome job on the water bottles. She put all these cute labels on the water bottles using pictures she found on the internet. So cute!

As always it was a big party so we had to decorate the garage but we made it cute! the balloons on the table were 2.50 for 3 and the back drop were dollar store table cloths. We had some cut outs to make it more like radiator springs and called it solid.

We had a blast and it didn't break my budget.

Cars party invites!

Who doesn't like cars? Disney has so much cute stuff and after visiting Carsland in Disneyland California, I just had to give my son a cars party. Here's the invites!

Last minute Halloween!

How about a giant spider!?! I helped with a large youth dance and the budget was pretty small. So I went to dollar tree and tried to figure out how to make a huge spider and here it is! 16 rolls of Christmas wrap
Duck tape
Roasting pan (body)
Balloon ( covered in black paper)
Green streamers
So I duck taped the legs ( 2 rolls per leg) then I wrapped it in green streamers. Body was painted black and so was the head, so it worked our! 20 dollars for a larger than life spider. Also I could have placed the legs anywhere but time and space limited me a little

Minnie Mouse and more

My neighbor gave me permission to post some of her party stuff. This is a peek of what's to come! The invites!

So cool table cloth

So at Walmart they have coloring table cloths! For kids it's brilliant! And it's 1.99! Seriously the best to get the kids to sit down!

Dreaming in cashmere

My friend Amy at dreamingincashmere.com had a super cute Star Wars party! It was so cute I just had to let all of you know! Check it out!

I know I'm obsessed with Disney

So for this trip I made everyone luggage tags, for a couple reasons. 1. They are cute 2. I wanted it to be special 3. It's easier to spot your luggage if you have different ribbon or tags on it. 4. It's easier to Spot your stroller if you have a big different tag on it. At disneyland you can loss your stroller in the Sea of strollers. It's amazing how a little paper can make things so cute.

Disney activity booklet

So I got 15 cent folders and glued a Mickey on the front, yep that's it! My mom has a cricket machine and cut out the letters to make it for folder and it was cute! So inside it was 26 pages of Mickey counting, colors, and games. I found a Disney printable website and that was the packet! Hours of entertainment for 50 cents total. The pencil. Boxes were 50 cents with once again Mickey cut out on the front.

Disney Disney Disney!

So we had a family trip to Disneyland and half were flying half were driving so I thought I would put together gift bags for all the kids (5 under 6) so first off I bought the bags at the Disney store for 2 dollars a piece because they were just too cute! Then they had water bottles 2 for 6. All the kids had a different one tangled, Minnie, Mickey,toy story, and a baby Mickey cup. They had lots of snacks in tinker bell and cars sandwich bags from the dollar store. Candy was 2.50 for 8. Here's the pictures! More to come!

Mario cake!!!

This cake was a good as it looks! I'm going to have to brag about sister once again. She is awesome there is colored frosting and the track is cookie crumbs but the amazing part is all the little details. All if the items on top... Banana and stuff were all made from laffy taffy! Amazing I know check it out!

Mushroom, mustaches, and more!

There were some great decorations so here they are. Awesome race checkered streamers with balloons that match. The table was decorated with the cute hats that we used for there "cart race". The banner was also cute and simple! The mushrooms on the stick were made from styrofoam and paper. Just stick them in a plant and you have decorations everywhere Check it out!

Mario games

My sister is pretty amazing at coming up with game. For this party she had them paint old diaper boxes which took some time. That was at the beginning of the party so by the end of the party they got I wear them and race! The other game they got to play was the yoshi game. She bought party blowers and they had to knock down all the cups. Yoshi in the game eats fruit with his tong, so that's what they did! It was great. There was one more yoshi game, she colored green spot to make "yoshi eggs" and they did the egg race with these yoshi eggs.
