Reader Bee, my niece, is turning 11 in about 10 days. She is a very creative girl and she typically decides on the theme of all her parties.
This year she is having a carnival theme. She is borrowing some of our lawn games and has a cupcake walk planned. She has other activities in mind too. (I might be drafted for face painting.)
Reader Bee and I enjoy crafting together - a lot! So she came over today and we made ice cream cone wraps for her kid party and her adult/family party.
You might remember I made these for the Fourth of July. Reader Bee really liked this idea so we just printed the pattern from Martha and used our own scrapbook paper to make the wraps.
(Be careful you don't get lost in the ice cream cone wrapper forest. Just follow the scent of chocolate and you'll be safe.)
She is a girl after my own crafty heart!
In the meantime, another creative girl devised a way to carry both her babies at once and keep her hands free.....
I knew all those trendy scarves would prove to be practical.
I'll be joining the party over at
for
Anything Related Tuesdays.
Hope you can join the party and see all the great projects. Rebekah and Bridgette always put together a great event!
Thanks for buzzing by today!
Ahhh...very clever Bees you two are over there. I loved your cones on the 4th and the birthday cones are equally as cute. I look forward to seeing those BD pics after the party.
ReplyDeletesounds like you have some fun planning ahead...cute!!! Mica
ReplyDeleteadorable cones! The scarf thing cracked me up because my daughter did the same creation the other day (only w/ 1 baby though)! Kids make me laugh!
ReplyDeleteThe young Bees are delightful! I love a glimpse into the way children's minds think. What fun!

ReplyDeleteOh I love those cones wraps, what a cute idea!! The best part is those can be made to suit any party theme!! Thanks for the idea :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a bunch of smart bees you are! Those cone wrappers are scrupmtious!
ReplyDeleteWe did a carnival theme for my daughter one year and it was the most fun party we've had. We had one of those big plastic alligator teeter totters then and I put it behind a bedspread hanging on the clothes line. We put up signs that said things like "World's largest gator!" The little kids were so timid peeking around the curtain but thrilled to see it was a "ride"!
I also bought a roll of real tickets and they had more fun with those than anything. They traded them, charged each other tickets to play etc. I was picking up tickets in my yard for weeks!
You're all going to have so much fun!
What a great idea!! I have a niece that would so enjoy a project like that, my boys not so much!
ReplyDeleteYou had asked for I lived while in Germany, Mannheim for 6 years and Frankfurt for 3 years. I found the red chair at a floh markt in Worms back in 1999.
