When a Plan Comes Together

I love it when a plan comes together. My sweet little Abby wanted a birthday party this year. I knew the chances of us having a birthday party with friends just one month after moving to AZ would be slim... I mean, school is out, and she probably will just be getting to know people!

In the midst of all of the chaos, I decided to let her have an early birthday/going away party. Don't worry, I made it easy. We are going to the "Y" to go swimming (it is FAR too cold to swim outside here--unless you think 58 degrees is warm). We are coming back to the packed house after for Pizza and Cake on paper... easy enough.

I AM pretty proud of myself for the party favors... I was returning some items to Michaels, and low and behold they had these little cuties right at the check out counter for $1 each...
A little journal with pen, some cutie pie stickers AND a little piece of jewelry.. just what every girly girl needs..

Wrap them up in cute little bags with a little ribbon and voila. Party favors.
Done.

Oh, and you like the color of those bags do ya?? Well, last night I went to get my toes done before our foray into AZ, and I found a color called... SEXY.Little orange, little pink, little red... Lotta BOLD, it took a while to grow on me... but now I think it is definitely.. SEXY!

You are sexy indeed; from toe to head. But especially in your head. ;)

Just had and "orange" birthday party for my 11 year old daughter. I LOVE your bags. I am not creative like that. Thanks for the idea for future use!

Tina said...

Oh, and love your toes! I can't go without my toes painted. My feet look yucky without color!

I envy the "Martha" in you. the party favors were nothing to you, but I would NEVER make such cute little bags! Love them.

LOVE the color! I am a party planner so this is right up my alley!

I came here via Kelly's swap blog and wanted to say hello. I LOVE Arizona (part of my childhood was spent there) so I hope it will be great!

I love your toes. I want to compare the color to mine. Yours might be a little more orange than mine.
