Hello Dino!

I just found these photos loaded into my draft posts...and thought hey! This was a great party and I want to share it with you all! I always start a party with my room all tidy and organized...what happens next? Well, that depends!

Here we are getting the party started!

Next up? Let's decorate those cupcakes with dirt and dino eggs!

This birthday girl loves to ham it up for the camera...I've gotten to know her quite well since then and her crazy faces are endless along with her joy and her fun factor!

Here are the Dino Egg Cupcakes...

And our fossil necklaces!

And the grande finale! Dino Egg Soap! We've made a lot of Dino Egg Soap since these original ones were done...

I love these soaps and I really have missed blogging. I hope you all find me again!

Enjoy!

Puppy Love!

 It's all about the Theme! You know everytime I book a party I ask what they LOVE and we'll make a theme. Often times the response is but what do you do...I like to work with you and let you inspire me...

You know I love Shrink Art...and no, I never tire of gathering people around my oven!

We love dressing up in our house...I'm certain that any of my kids would love a set of puppy ears! Check out the wild colour combinations!!!

 Pupcakes! They are always waiting to make a come back!

 And here it is...a whole lot of Puppy Love!

Enjoy!

Pinkalicious Princesses!

This party was SO long ago...much time has passed since I last blogged about our Creative Adventures here and I have missed it much. I am not sure what has happened to the time over here but we sure have been busy!

One of my favourite treats lately has been Wands offered in lieu of the regular loot.

This party was all about Pinkalicious.

From the crown to the cupcakes...

We enjoyed Pink Sweetness through and through.

I loved this theme, it was SO fun!

Enjoy!

Angry Birds on the Loose!

I always get excited when a fun new theme is suggested...and I was super excited about this one. It was new! It was exciting! And my kids were thrilled!

It was Angry Birds!

But first? Let's bake the cupcakes!

Look at those birds!!!

And more birds! These necklaces were super-fun to make!

We had a lot of fun Angry Bird Style at this party!

Enjoy!

Diva for a Day!

It took some thinking to come up with just the right theme for this party but in the end...we figured it out! The birthday girl was thrilled with the idea of a Diva Party with Sleep Masks, Bubblegum Necklaces and some sweet cupcakes!

 The detail that went into the masks was incredible! They had a lot of fun decorating them!

 And the necklaces were fun to make...it was a good opportunity for the girls to try their hand at some needlework.

 Check out that necklace!

 These girls weren't here for a longtime but they were definitely here for a good time!

 Happy Birthday! I hope you had as much fun at your party as I did!

Enjoy!

Secret Agent Party

Every year we have the "Big Birthday Party" yep, that's what we call it. You see all 3 of our children are summer babies (after the first one it was a bit of an addiction...) so we have one big party for all 3 at once. And then...when I'm feeling like "SuperMum" I throw in an individual party for one of them. This year it was Sean's turn.

He is my ninja/spy/secret agent kid. So, there wasn't much choice in the matter. I set to work just days before the party was to happen and pulled together some Training Passports.

And some clues for a scavenger hunt...this was hysterical as the kids solved each clue they had to have their passports signed. A task that Mr. CB took very seriously. Sometimes there were stickers other times a sloppy signature. Always in a different colour and each task had a code word to put in the book. It made the party fun for us too! That way the kids were always stopping by to see us...

They had to pop the bombs...these were fun! I put sprinkles in a couple of them. I would put sprinkles in all of them next time because the effect was fabulous!

 They had to finish this drawing to show what the bad guy looked like...no after photo sorry!

 And there was the laser maze. Mr. CB had a hard time following what I wanted him to do until I mentioned the movie with Catherine Zeta Jones and then I lost him for a moment! Here he is trying to escape the maze while the kids zip through it! (they did this over and over again they loved it so much!)

Disguises, weapons and other important gear!

The birthday boy really wanted to give out water guns. It's the first time we've ever had them in our house...well, outside! This kept them busy while we got lunch cooked up.

The Birthday Boy with his cake. Fun and to the point right? He loved the sparkler on top!

Our Secret Agents! The chocolate moustaches were a hit with the kids too! They had to eat them before they left as they were melting from the heat. (you caught me, this party was in July!)

I made my birthday boy pretty happy with this party. We sat down and enjoyed a quiet afternoon when it was all done...whew!

Enjoy!

Happy Birthday - Musically Speaking!

So when I was asked to do a party with a music theme...it took a bit of time...but we came up with a great plan! First of all Shrink Art!

Then we made these fun cupcakes (simple and fun, life is great!)

 And we decorated these books! The birthday girl, who is headed to Holland to study for 3 months was thrilled to have a journal to bring along!

 We had a great time! And hopefully made some great memories for these girls!

 Enjoy!

Birthday Beauties!

Again, I am really trying to catch up here! This party was in June! I know...where has the time gone right?

This group of girls have been here before! They are so sweet!

 We made cupcakes (of course!)

 And we decorated them!

 We also made necklaces and bath bombs!

Gotta keep trying new fun stuff right? I think so! Just wait till you see what we have planned at our Creative Camps this summer!

Enjoy!

The Frog and his Princess!

I love it when I get some boys in the crowd...they especially love to use my mixer!

We've got cupcakes to get in the oven...

And Shrink Art to colour...

And a birthday to celebrate!

Mini Notebooks...

Shrink Art Keychains...

Another great day in the workshop!

Enjoy!
