Glitter-Bomb...Paper Flowers...and Preparations for a Mad Hatter Tea Party






It looked like maybe Tinkerbell had exploded on the table in a pink cloud of fairy dust. 

By the end of the day we were smiling...covered with glitter (even the baby who will have sparkly poop for a week)  bits of confetti crepe paper and had a pile of these constructed.





Paper flowers that ranged from the size of an inflated beach ball to the size of a small head of cabbage and many sizes in between. Brilliant pinks, purples, blues and neon greens.

A wonderful day spent preparing for Emma's 10th Birthday Mad Hatter Tea Party and Sleepover, soon!
It isn't every day you reach double-digits!

Scouring thrift shops for mismatched tea cups and saucers.

Nicole also found this which will later do double duty as this year's Halloween Costume.



And the cake will look a lot like this!

                                         We're All MAD Here!

Strands of twinkling Fairy lights to hang from the trees in addition to the paper flowers and  glitter & confetti balloons.
A few of her favorite friends to spend the night.

Needless to say she is beyond excited. 

So are we...I think!

A much smaller pink crepe flower that I managed to create out of scraps and absconded with...sprayed with hairspray and dusted with pink glitter. I think I've left a trail of pink glitter from Cloverdale to Greencastle!

Reminds me of all those years spent attending the Flower and Patio show...



More anon...
