Decorations: Party Wreath

May 4, 2011 By Holly Leave a Comment Filed Under: Party Decorations

To let guests know where the party is it is best to welcome them with festive wreath or decoration on your door.  We made this wreath using a foam wreath form, fringed tissue paper, some colored paper, and ribbon. Cut 4 inch wide strips of any tissue paper.  This project took about 3 sheets. Then […]

Decorations: Streamers and Garland

The easiest way to decorate for a party is with streamers, garland, and plenty of balloons!  Streamers are great and can be inexpensive. We used blue, red, and white streamers to dress up this ceiling fan and add festivity to the room where the party was to be held. Super easy. Garland can also be […]

Easter Thumbprint Chicks, Easy DIY Kids Easter Project

Thumbprint art has long been a favorite of ours. It is another great craft that requires very few supplies(paper, markers, stamp pad), but the possibilities are almost endless, which means keeping kids creating for hours. If you don’t have much experience with thumbprint art we recommend “Ed Emberley’s Great Thumbprint Drawing Book”. It is full […]

Planning parties and making logos for as long as I can remember 🥳
Welcome to northern Minnesota, circa 1995. My Grandpa built me a dollhouse for my 5th birthday, and 30 years later, I gave it back to him. For the first six months of the pandemic I transformed the tiny house into a replica of my grandparent’s house circa 1995, re-creating some of my favorite memories of holidays and summers gathered together as a family at their Minnesota lake home. The remodel started when my family got stuck at my parents during the stay-at-home orders, and when it looked like we would be there a while, I dusted off the old dollhouse to create something new. The original plan was to make it look more modern. Then, I got the idea to make it a miniature version of my favorite place on earth. Although it only stands 3 feet tall, it is full of tiny details and some of my favorite childhood memories. #11cupcakes #artistherapy #dollhouseminiatures #dollhouseminiature #dollhousetherapy #dollhousetour #miniatures #covidprojects #covidproject @mforminiatures

She insisted on dressing up like Reba McEntire, and thanks to her new love of country music I now know all the words to ‘Consider Me Gone’. Happy Halloween from the Queen of Country Music and her dinosaur sidekick. 🎃🎤🦖
