Parties I've Done

Planning a party is one of my favourite things to do! I love planning and researching for months leading up to the big day!

I also enjoying making most of the decorations, games and food myself as I don’t always have the budget I wish i could spend on IT!

As both my girls birthdays are 10 days apart, at the moment  I am just doing joint parties as they have the same friends.  I would prefer to do separate parties.....then i would get two THEMES!! LOL

Already, I am constantly thinking about this years party (IN SEPTEMBER)!!!LOL

Here ae some of my parties I have done

1. Minnie Mouse Party

2. Snow White Party

3. Strawberry Shortcake Party

Hope you enjoy them!

Peg Dolls

These holidays we didn't go away. I therefore needed to find some fun craft activities to keep my little princesses busy!

To be honest, I am not sure who had more fun creating peg dolls.....the girls or me!!!

This is a fairly simple activity, all you need is:

• a packet of wooden doll pegs (I found a packet of 8 for $2 and a local Red Dollar store)
• some scrap fabric (or you could use paper)
• a black sharpie (or pen)
• some craft glue and scissors

This activity is great for all ages. This craft was enjoyed by myself 31, Princess 1yr, Princess 3yrs and a neghbour 9yrs.

We then had hours of fun afterwards using them in the dolls house and creating little plays and games with our new friends.

Give it a go!
Love Jess

Preschool Morning Tea bags

Back to Preschool

I can’t believe we are now in Term 2 of Princess 1’s Preschool year! She loves going so much and has really missed it over the holidays.

We need to send morning tea in a paper bag each day. I decided to get my craft on and add a little touch to make it special for her. Each morning she loves sorting through the pile of paper bags and choosing her one for the day.

I used a collection of free vintage clipart on the internet. All my images were found on these sites.

Cut out the clipart and stick onto your paper bag. Using a black sharpie, write your child’s name.

 It’s as simple as that!

Enjoy!!
