Wedding Shadow Box

I saw this on someone's blog so I can not take credit for this but I wanted to share because I'm so happy I did this....my wedding stuff has always been stashed in a box in the attic and I haven't seen it in 4 years. Now I get to look at this daily and be reminded of the best day of my life (marrying my best friend) I could have added more stuff but I already had this shadow box so I just used it and I think this is a good amount if wedding stuff to be in my living room on display anyway ;)

Princess Tea Party

For my daughters 5th Birthday party we decided upon a Tea Party with Cinderella!  I think I went overboard this time but all the kids and even parents were saying what a great party it was which makes me feel really good since I put so much time and effort into it!  These were the party favors, I loved making these! I just cut out the circles with a cd as my template, then used a cupcake wrapper template for the tea cup and it took a while to cut out the perfect handle but I got it! Used the bags to make it look like steam coming from pot! I also put name labels in the side as well so the kids wouldn't fight over them. I bought all pink candies, stickers, Cinderella pens for the girls and sll blue candies for the boys! The boys didn't partake in the tea party ;)   Pin the Tiara on the Princess! Bought on Amazon for apx. $2.99  Had Cinderella give all girls a wand, gloves, and a necklace!   Tea Cup Pinata, Made by
