Fit To Be Tied!

So the big bash is still a little ways off, but I refuse to be stressed out the night before and run around like a chicken with my head cut off, so I am making a point to do something "party related" each and every day until I am done! Today I used Gentry's nap time to wrap the silverware while Huntler sat next to me and played trains...while talking my ears off!! (Hmm...wonder where he gets that from?!!)

Lisa and I were talking today and I believe I owe the whole "napkin folding-silverware wrapping" thing to her! Thanks Lisa!! I am not quite sure if it is a "good" thing or not that I started this little tradition, but now that I have I will probably always to do it!! I didn't do this for Huntler's first or second birthdays, but for Gentry's first and his third, I diligently folded napkins, tucked the silverware safely inside and wrapped a coordinating ribbon around my masterpiece! This birthday party is no different my friends!

Here are a few fun pictures of the {sweet} little napkins all rolled up and ready to go! And no, I did not tie ribbon on the basket for this party (it was for Easter last year!)...but I am sure I will be tying it onto some of my galvanized metal buckets before it is all said and done!!

The plates, napkins, towels and all the other cupcake decor you will see in the not so distant future came from the Target Valentine's Day section! I was still torn on what theme I was going with in February, but once I saw this I latched onto as much as I could get my hands on! There were SEVERAL treks to different Target's to find all the different pieces I was after, but I think I managed to get everything I "needed!!" And some stuff I am sure we didn't need, but it certainly will be cute!!

Doesn't this stuff just make you smile with its happy colors and whimsical feel?! I LOVE IT! I am so glad I went this route for her party this year!! And think of all the fun extras I'll have if I ever go into business planning parties!! 

So there is today's party project! If I get a sudden burst of energy I may get started on the bows for the little girls, but maybe I'll drink some lemonade and watch The Baby Borrowers instead! We'll see!
