Party Planning

Like I have nothing better to do I spent way too much time browsing the Internets and found some really cute ideas for Lauren's party this weekend. 

I found a neat idea for homemade treats as party favors - the look will match the party theme perfectly.  Hopefully they taste good too.  It's basically a chocolate covered Oreo decorated with confetti sprinkles in white and pink chocolate. 

Then I saw an idea for a birthday balloon wreath.  Here's what I did:

 Supplies: straw wreath, 150 balloons, 2 packs of greening pins

Start pinning balloons on to fill wreath.  I got this far and ran out of balloons...Zach went out to get me more but they were slightly different colors.  So what did I do, take off all of this and start over! Crazy I know.

 About 2 hours later (split between two nights so I didn't go completely nuts) and wa-lah, our new birthday balloon wreath.

 For about 20 bucks I probably could have bought one even nicer than this but whatever.  You win some, you lose some.  I think it turned about correctly but I can't say I love it.  However we WILL use it for every birthday for about ever, and I don't want to see a balloon again for a very long time :)

Currently hanging on an inside door until party time!
