Peppa Pig Themed Birthday Party

When my younger daughter turned 3 in September she had a Peppa Pig themed party since she had been full-blown obsessed with Peppa Pig for a year!

I did a little photo shoot outside with her wearing her Peppa Pig shirt & Peppa Pig headband & a pink tutu. She posed with her little stuffed Peppa toys. I used my favourite pictures from that photo shoot to make a photo banner for her birthday.

I printed off labels for the water bottles that I found online...

I got these cute prints online and put them into some picture frames I had painted yellow...

I enjoyed trying to come up with ideas of what to call the party food...

We ordered pizzas for lunch since we had our house full of extended family members. The birthday girl is a big fan of pizza!

I find labelling the boxes is the best things ever so I don't need to answer which toppings are on each pizza numerous times!

The treats were my favourite thing to plan...

My sweet girl absolutely loved her birthday party and all the Peppa decorations...

For her party with extended family we had cupcakes. On her actual birthday with just our family of 5, we had this cake. It was chocolate cake of course since that is what they always talk about on the show!

It was tons of fun celebrating our little lady turning 3 with her Peppa Pig Bash!

My Canada Day Decorations

Summer is on it's way and soon Canada Day will be here, on July 1st!

It's easy to find lots of neat ideas for the Fourth of July in the US, but Canada Day ideas are harder to come by it seems.

I decorated my mantle for Canada Day and I still have a few more projects I would like to do before Canada Day comes. Here's how my fireplace mantle looks.....

I got the pair of printables in the blue frames from this website. 

The 8x10 printable of the Canadian National Anthem with the blue & white striped background came from this website.

Keep Calm and Love Canada print from Etsy.

I found this print on Etsy.

A Yellow & Grey Tea Party Bridal Shower

Last month I hosted a Bridal Shower at my house for my husband's sister.

I did the decorations, one sister-in-law did the food & one sister-in-law did the games.

I think it all turned out great and everyone seemed to have a good time!

I thought a tea party shower would be fun as my sister-in-law (the bride) collects tea pots and likes tea. The yellow & grey were her wedding colours, so that made sense to use those for the shower, but it's tricky to find yellow & grey stuff in the fall I tell you!

Here's the invitation I created, I made it to coordinate with the wedding invitation...

The banner I created.

One of the centerpieces & a frame I painted with a photo of the couple in it.

I had this jar out with strips of paper so people could write down some date ideas for the couple.

The bride likes lemon drops and they fit in with the theming ever so nicely

Another one of the centerpieces & another frame I painted with a photo of the couple in it.

And another of the centerpieces & more frame I painted with a photos of the couple inside.

I got this tea pot and had all the guests use a sharpie to sign their names on it and gave it to the bride at the end of the shower as a keepsake.

I made little place-cards for everyone at the tables. I enjoyed bringing out my good China dishes and silverware to make it all fancy for our tea party.

My sister-in-law did veggies & dip, fruit kebabs, cookies, cucumber sandwiches, and tea for the food.

I made label card for in front of each tea pot. I set each tea pot on a doily with a trivet underneath to protect my island.

I made the chalkboard print.

The subway art I made in their wedding colours.

The date night jar idea getting filled as the shower went on.

At the end of the shower, I gave the bride: the jar of date night ideas, the tea pot everyone signed, and the book I wrote down the gifts she was given. I stuck all these favors in the cute yellow gift bag for her to take.
