One party down another to go!!

hi
Wow this month has been a full on one!!
Kids have now gone back to school & Missy has had her pool party!!
Now i just have my sons Pirate party this weekend & then i think im all partied out!!

My daughter had a great time at her party...even though several of her friends couldn't make it at the last minute which made her a little sad :(

It was an easy & relaxed party as it included a pool party play leader who played games & sorted out the food...so all i had to do was take photos & check that no one was drowning!

She had an ice cream cake but i also made some cupcakes for any kids that didn't want ice cream! I made the cupcake toppers with Life's A Beach cartridge for my cricut...they were so cute!!
It was the hottest day for October on her birthday so the icing & sprinkles had started to melt....it reminded me of her 8th birthday party when i had made her a fairy doll cake & the icing melted then too as it was the hottest day back then & the poor fairy lost her wings & dignity! Her icing top part of her dress covering her plastic boobs had melted away making her a very indecent fairy...the kids had thought it was funny!!

All the kids & parents commented on the lolly bags i had made...i even heard a few teen girls that passed by the party table comment about how cute they were lol

I used some Washi tape i got from Sawyers Place to make the cute little flag buntings on the handles of the lolly bags & also the stripe at the bottom of the bag

After the party i printed out some pics to send to the party guests on my Polaroid pogo..i always try to get a pic of the birthday child with each guest....i then cut out some window cards from the Life's a beach cart & sent them off with missy to school to hand out.

Im looking forward to my little mans Pirate party as he has been wanting it since after he turned 4!! I have just completed making most games & activites plus have all the prizes in a treasure chest ready to go! I have made jelly cups & have cupcakes to get onto making!

hope everyone is having a great week & enjoy the weekend

Im entering it into the Decorate to Celebrate! challenge anything goes theme!

I used the blue & white check washi tape from Sawyers Place ....its so easy & it reminds me of the pool tiles you get along the edges of the pool...Im going to add each childs name to the bags as they rsvp...i also had to quickly make 2 boy bags as she decided to invite 2 ...one she has known since before kindy & they got "married" when they were in Pre primary!! so cute that they are still friends even at the age of nearly 10!! Although at the beginning of the year there was talk of divorce!! oh my kids are so funny!!
