The Candy, Cupcake, and Ice Cream Birthday Party

How SWEET it was!

 

 

We had Bebe's birthday party over the weekend.

 

There was a change in plans about where to have it,

but it all ended up working out really well.

 

 

Instead of having it in our remodeled basement

(it was almost done, but not quite) I decided to

set it up in our "den" or main living area.

 

We have these wonderful tall glass windows

and the light on the decorations gave everything

a lovely pastel pop of color.

 

 

I found many of my jars and glass containers

at our local Salvation Army.

And saved myself some time by getting

the sticker labels at Party City.

They were only 99 cents!

We played several games,

like "guess how many gumballs"...

 

 

 

... and a "decorate your own cupcake" project

 which I put together myself instead of looking

online for a kit. I was trying to stick to a budget

 and this worked out better than I had anticipated!

 

 

I also made the circle garland out

of scrapbook paper and string.

The tissue paper pom poms looked
 so pretty above the table but
 I found them to be a bit
tedious to pull apart and puff out.
The results were awesome though!
(Got them for 1/2 price at our
local craft store using a coupon
...due to the above mentioned budget.)

 

Bebe and her sweet friends

had a lot of fun, and I had a

great time setting it all up.

Pinterest was a great place for inspiration!

(Feel free to follow along with me as I pin my favorites.)

Enjoy the day!
