Cupcake-rrific Party Activities

The girls were excited to get the party started! They each had a personalized apron at their seat (tutorial on this later) that they (and I!) loved.


Then the decorating began... The first cupcake was not the edible kind. Painting ceramic cupcake boxes, the girls were deep in concentration. I just loved how different each one turned out.

A Sweet Tablescape!

A Sweet Tablescape!, originally uploaded by smallfrynotables.

This was the scene as you entered From Art to Zebras for my daughter's 10th birthday party. It was a sampling of the cupcake decorating celebration to come.

Each place setting had a chef hat and tiny cupcake lip gloss to match the cute cupcake decor. The kiddos had bright colored Crush sodas in glass bottles and colorful bendy straws, so no cups were needed. Next up, some sweet activities...

Mother Earth's Garden

mother-earths-garden-2, originally uploaded by smallfrynotables.

I created this for a challenge on the Busy Mom's of Etsy group for March. The theme was Mother Nature's Garden. I love little fairies, so I had to incorporate them into my garden! This is a mixed media on a 9"x12" gallery wrapped canvas (5/8" deep). Okay, my little fairies are wearing masks, they have to go incognito, don't they all? JK.

I will be listing the original in my etsy shope, smallfrynotables.etsy.com, so you can get it there, or let me know if you would like a smaller print. No problemo!

In the Night Birthday Party Invitation for Girl

in-the-night-invite-4w, originally uploaded by smallfrynotables.

One of my nieces is turning 12 this month. That in between age is sometimes difficult to come up with ideas for. Most girls this age don't want anything "babyish" and definitely not "old ladyish"!

I came up with this series to fit in with this in between group. It has a bit of sophistication, without too much formality. I can see using it for a sleepover, especially a Twilight sleepover! Since most kids this age don't like anything TOO organized, how about some movie trivia? Or come dressed as your favorite character, or even a murder mystery? Love it!

Feel free to contact us if you need help coming up with more ideas for your tween's party!
