Pirate Party Invitations

I threw a pirate party for my son Tanner's 4th birthday party. This is the first of four posts with all the fun crafty things I did for the pirate parrrrteee.

I made super simple invitations for the party. I made them using microsoft word and printed them on some scrapbook paper that I had. Then I crumpled them up to make them look old. I rolled them up and tied a ribbon around them. I used this link HERE to get ideas for wording the pirate invitation.

tomorrow: party bags

Rainbow Cupcakes

I have seen these rainbow cupcakes all over the Internet. I decided it was my turn. So here they are. To find directions you can go here or here, just to name a couple.

Birthday Crown

I have been wanting to make this birthday crown for over a year. I was going to make it for Lily's first birthday but ran out of time. I finally got around to making it just in time for her second birthday. I used the tutorial over at Juicy bits.

To tell you the truth, after making it, I am not a fan. It looked cute in the pictures but I really don't love it. I told Justin my only goal for this crown is for Lily to wear it for 3 seconds so I can get a picture. That has yet to happen. I think I will just toss it in her dress up box and try to forget it ever happened.
