Pretty in Pink
I just finished reading my cousins new blog My Dishwasher's Possessed! and realized how much our daughter's have in common. They both think they are princesses!
My youngest daughter just turned 9 and had her birthday party this past weekend. She is all about pink and everything French! I love it and had a ball making decorations for her party.
She wanted a "Pink Poodle in Paris" party. I have to admit I went further with the Paris, then I did the Poodle! I received a Cricut for Christmas and just love it! I made a "Happy Birthday" banner in French "Bon Anniversaire".
Then I proceeded to make cupcake toppers with pink crepe paper and an "Ooh la la Eiffel Tower"
I also made tissue paper flowers and was amazed at how easy these were to make, why haven't I been making these for years???
Then I couldn't stop with the tissue paper and covered my dress mannequin in pink and white tissue and made her a dress! I have to say I love how this came out.
For the centerpiece who is more French than Marie Antoinette? She is all decked out in pink crepe paper, velvet leaves, a feather for her head and lots of glitter. To finish her off she had to have a banner reading "Let them eat cake".
After the holidays I like to leave up my white feather tree and decorate for the winter holidays. So both my girls have birthdays in Jan and Feb and with Valentines day I decorated in a combined Birthday/Valentine's Day theme. I made these little ornaments from crepe paper and glitter and a pretty little angel face. Then I cut out some hearts and Eiffel Tower's on the Cricut and covered in silver glitter.
When I was England last year I picked up these "Ice Fountains". Lots of "oohs and aahs" when this was lit. I am going to have to find a source for these for the shop, they were beautiful!
We all need a little bit of glitter and pink in our lives!

A little visitor & a finished project!
Can you see what's peeking out of the hole? A little sparrow who is wondering if it is Spring yet!
Well, I finished the Marie Antoniette Bottle I talked about a few days ago. I've been looking at it for days trying to decide if it needs something else. But, my dear daughter has claimed it for her room, so I guess it must be finished!
