::THE ART PARTY::



















The sheet of dry wall is all set out and ready for the guests to arrive.

It was nearly impossible to keep Max away from it.

I really loved the mural that they painted.  
The little green guy is my favorite.

Rainbow cupcake decorating was a big hit

And even the mess afterward was pretty

The popcorn machine is a party staple.


My favorite birthday girl.

THE CRAFTS


Picking aprons to decorate.

At the first table they decorated an art apron with ribbon and markers
And they could also make a fruitloop necklace/bracelet
After every one got there, I had several different craft stations for them to choose from.

This table had oil painting and coffee filter painting.  

And under the table was a precious little dental problem dog. 

My oldest, Emma, and Grammy ran the next table.



Another table had bubble painting and shaving cream painting.  

As they made their art they put it in their baskets to take home.  


Because I am blessed by the greatest friends ever I didn't have to spend the day being photographer and Mommy.  
All images taken by my dearest Emily and Shelly.  

All printables are by Birds Crafts.  Please link here to see her clever party idea filled blog and here to see her Etsy shop.

  9. What a fun, bright, creative party! I love the theme (so non-commercial and appropriate for all ages and genders!) and I want to do this for my daughter's next birthday! It's a year away, but I'd be able to re-use a lot of the rainbow party stuff I have left over. You did an amazing job!
