Party Planning

After doing monkey's 1st birthday party decoration designs I decided when the time came I'd so similar things for Walker's party. Little did I know I'd end up doing SO much more. I had fun doing it though and the end result will be great.

I designed 90% of it in Paint Shop Pro 13, and a few things I got online from free craft idea websites. I then printed out everything onto cardstock and cut, taped, glued everything together.

The Bingo Game and Pin the Tail on Frank were both ideas I pulled out of my head and I am really happy how they turned out.

I got the hamburger basket template from Bakerella and added the cars graphics to it.

Popsicle Holders - Why didn't I thin of that

The age old dilemma, give your kid a popsicle and they complain about their hands getting cold so what do you do you wrap it in a napkin or paper towel or as my sister does you put it in a kids sock. Well no longer thanks to Stephanie over at Under the Table and Dreaming. She has a great tutorial on how to make one from felt here I however did not have any felt in the house so I decided to let Walker pick out whatever fabric he wanted for the outside and used parts of a scrap fleece blanket for the inside and this is what I came up with.

and here are 3 of the boys enjoying their popsicles with nice warm hands :-)
