The Rainbow Connection

I think a lot of us have a special place for a little green frog who sings about rainbows... sometimes we catch a glimpse of what might be on the other side...and it is beautiful.

This party was booked well in advance giving the hosting mom and I lots of time to discuss options for themes. She was stumped...totally stumped. It was obvious that the usual princess gig just wasn't going to do it...
So, I suggested an Art Party...of course having never hosted one I had no idea what I was in for...but that's sort of my thing...jumping in with both feet that is.
Of course it's more fun when we do it together...just look at these sweethearts...
It really doesn't get much better than this group of girls...they were wonderful...
Well, there was one little snag...
We did Shrink Art, Art Journals and Cupcakes (of course!) and in an attempt to be artsy...I made the journals the colours of the rainbow (sorry indigo, I keep leaving you out!) When I tried to hand the journals out to the girls all of them wanted purple...I diligently handed out one colour at a time, waiting for the girls to realize the purple was on hold for the time being...it just wasn't going to work.

Eventually everyone had a journal and was busy happily creating...but it took a little extra smoothing this time. This being said, that photo of the rainbow of journals up above still makes me happy.

What can I say?
Enjoy!

Pretty in Pink (and Brown)

So here how the story goes...I was SO excited...I had one shoe done, the cakes were moving along...I took the photo and left the room...
With this little dancing fool in it...
I came back. And guess what? The shoe was broken and part of it was missing! So, I had to begin again. That's how it goes sometimes. Note to self: do not leave preschool alone with cake or any sort of sugar for that matter!

Fortunately, there was still time to finish this...
One of my most commented on cakes in awhile...
I must admit, I'd be pretty thrilled if a cake like this showed up to my next birthday!

I hope you had a fabulous day Ann!

Enjoy!

PS The cake was Chocolate Irish Cream with Irish Cream Buttercream. The yummiest!

Sweet Scent-sation!

I have found myself so busy at parties lately that I hardly have time to take photos...and I forget to tell you important bits...the parties are still as wonderful as ever...the kids are still fabulous and the fun, well, we have lots of it!

So, to start...cupcakes!
Next up? Soap...where are the photos? Who knows...we made mini-soaps with Grapefruit Scents...mmmm...there were flowers, hearts, fish and puzzle pieces. Just imagine them for me. Please?

Then? Shrink art! We made Flip Flops and Lipstick charms! They loved that...and they did such great colouring...with coordinating charms, contrasting charms...they were charming really!
Finally, back to those cupcakes! Mmmm cupcakes!

And so much fun!

Enjoy!
