Fairy Wishes

As promised I'm gonna show some pictures of the invitations I made for my daughter's 4 year birthday party.  She wanted a fairy birthday party so I found a cute stamp from Pink Cat Studio for her invites. 
This is the front of the card:

This is what you see when you open the front flap

Then this is the rest of the invitation when it's opened up.  I just loved the little poem announcing her party. 

These were so fun to make, I need to start thinking about this years party already.

Here they are all 19 of them!

I have a few pics of her birthday party too.  This was all outside and when they arrived the little girls got to put on fairy skirts and fairy wings and they had fairy wands that we had made, the boys were garden bugs and wore shirts we painted to look like grasshoppers and they made headbands with antenae.  The yard was magical with lots of balloons, giant toadstools we made out of cardboard and painted, huge tissue paper flowers, and lots of little fairy jewels, fairy dust, butterflies and such in the yard.  These were some of the

flowers we made:

The first thing they did was search the yard for things to make fairy gardens.  They loved looking all around searching for the little treasures.  When they had all their goodies gathered up we went and made fairy gardens and sprinkled them with fairy dust (it had glitter and alyssum seed so they would grow). While they were assembling their gardens someone else was in the yard hiding coins and tiny little fairies and garden bugs.  The phone rang and I told the kids that the tooth fairy just called and said she flew over our party and dropped her bag of coins.  If the kids found coins in the yard they could keep them.  They were so excited that they ran searching the flower beds for the coins and then found the fairies too!  They had so much fun.

Little fairies all around . . . .

It was a magical day for the little fairies . . . .

Here's the birthday girl showing me what she found!

Look at the little fairies showing each other what they found.

I made a toadstool cake to go with the party theme.  That was very fun to make. 

We had a pinata and cake and presents to finish off the party.  It was such a lovely day, warm but not too hot, all the parents enjoyed just visiting while their kids played in the yard and enjoyed their treasures.  A very precious memory indeed for all of us.
