Minnie Mouse Birthday Party

Little Shae Turns Three!

Our little granddaughter turned three shortly after the holiday, and she had a Minnie Mouse birthday party.  I helped with the decorations, and they turned out great!



The table has a cheap table cloth topped with black and white polka dot wrapping paper (saw this color/polka-dot table cloth combo idea on Pinterest). The ONLY licensed Disney product is the balloon, which cost more than anything but the cake.


Her other grandma had this cute Minnie cake made from a local bakery. The pictures of Shae with Minnie Mouse from this fall's Disney World trip make great table decorations.


These wall decorations are my favorites. A local party store was going out of business, and I bought the pleated circles for less than $2.00 (90 percent off!!!). They were actually part of a welcome baby set and had baby-themed pictures for the centers. I threw those out and added mouse ears on the big pink one and mini Minnie silhouettes to the other two--just circles and simple bows.

(The little frame is something I made at a demonstration party.  It says, "Well behaved women rarely make history."  Not Minnie themed, but it fits our granddaughter very well.)


The two pink cupcake decorations were also from the going-out-of-business party store (one shown here). I added the "3" picks (also 90% off).

And for a "hidden Mickey," look at the black plates. :)

Another look at the whole thing:


So cute--but not as cute as this birthday girl:

Winter One-Derland Layout

Shae's First Birthday Party


Shae is two now, but I'm trying to catch up on her baby book. Her Winter 1-derland or One-derland (or O-NEEDerland if you like the movie That Thing You Do) was so special. Her birthday is just after Christmas, so her mom and I found a lot of white decorations on sale, and tried to stay with a white, cream, grey, and blue scheme.  


She looked like a winter princess in a ridiculous tulle-skirted dress with a fur jacket. I took all these pictures at night, so the shades of white and cream aren't contrasting too well in the photos.  I really like the ripped edges on the white paper with the cream color peeking through. The small amount of patterned paper is one sheet from a stack by DCVW called Collage Art. 


Both layouts have a lot of miscellaneous embellishments and silver and gold Nuvo drops. All the decorations were easy--we grabbed all the white dishes and decorations we had sitting around. The treats included a hot chocolate bar with some added liquor for the adults. I LOVE a themed party, and my grandkids are giving me a lot of opportunities to help with craft projects. They've started enjoying making crafts with me, and I hope they continue to enjoy being creative.
