How to make a mini pinata for your next party.


Hola!
Today things get messy, fun, and colorful over at ALMALU'S PLACE.
I once again got to share a simple DIY project for your next party planning - mini pinatas it is!

Some ideas.
: You can use them as seat numbering for a bigger event, place cards, and name holders.
: Stash them as party favors.
: Fill them with rice or confetti and break them to greet the special guest of honor.
: Your next Mexican themed party.

Love, 
Conny

Frosting a tiny cake.

If you ever wondered how to frost a cake the perfect way, you need to look at the picture tutorial over at ALANAKDAVIS.
And the best part of it, it's super small! Just imagine all the party favors, table set-ups, and desserts with these little cakes!

DIY Ruffled Bunting/ Contributing editor over at Almalu's place.

Hello and good morning everybody!

Today I would like to share some news that are really dear to me. Alessandra over at Almalu's place asked me to contribute to her blog with weekly DIY's. How could anyone resist to such a fun challenge and, of course, I said yes!

If you would like to know how this bunting is being done, hop over here.


This tutorial is really easy and only asks for a few materials.



Enjoy!

Love, 
Conny


*I can't tell you how many times I tried posting yesterday, but blogger just wouldn't let me. Sigh.
But new day, new energy, and I can post again.*

Sofia's birthday Part 2 - Food, food, food and Shaun the Sheep.

Sofia really likes Shaun the Sheep, so we came up with a party for her that was loosely based on this little quirky guy.

We had to split the party due to space limitations. On her actual birthday we had friends and family over, and a week later she had her party with her little friends - all age 3. 
Let me tell you one thing, this is fun. A lot of fun. 

I decided it would be fun to get the party started with a small activity. 
I cut out Shaun, put him along with an empty toilet paper roll and some cotton balls on a paper plate. 
What all the kids had to do really was to glue it all together with some cotton here and there to get the sheep's fur.
As usual, it was the moms finishing the project. And you know, that's fine. The kids "warmed up" and ended up playing, surprisingly peacefully, in Sofia's room. And us grown ups? We ate, of course.


And here the food.



 

The crowning moment was the Shaun the Sheep cake. My husband actually made him by hand!


The big moment.



The party favors!



My baby three years ago...


Love, love.

Sofia's 3rd birthday Part 1

March is already here, and I haven't even been able to fully digest February. Sigh.
This was a big month for all of us, but more on that later.

First, I would like to share a few pictures of Sofia's third birthday.
(Honestly, it kind of hurts to see her grow up so fast. I spent the morning of her birthday in pure silence, looking out of the window, wondering where time has gone. And why it seems to fly so fast.)

Sofia had the time of her life, though. She now hit the age where the meaning of her special day becomes more understandable. She would sing Happy Birthday to you to herself all day long. She would also wait for the grown up guests to arrive. Not to forget the presents. She knew they were on top of our closet and now the time had come to finally open them. Yes!




The morning was spent with opening presents and trust me, she loved them all!
Our families spoiled that girl once again. My MIL sent us yet another big package with super cute clothes from the States, my parents bought her a doll bed with two stuffed cars to cuddle with. My aunt gave us money and we decided to buy a backpack for kindergarten. Last but not least, she good a wooden police station, two construction games, books, and cars.

I will show more pictures of her party later! We actually had to split the party in two due to space limitations!

Have a good one!
Conny
