C is turning 4 this month....Last week, right after we ripped into piles of presents from Santa, I started brainstorming a party for him. Sadly, because his birthday is right after Christmas, the budget for a party for him is nil. I am a retired crafter, but I usually try to do something for his party!
So, after brainstorming, I walked into my basement and it hit me! C loves Lego's, we own one million of the little boogers and I had my party idea! I will be turning MY house, into "Lego City".
Thankfully, one of my BFF is crafty in a photoshop kind of way and I called her first. She happily agreed to make his invites! Easy! She gave me some instructions, I gave her in the info and within 24 hours, the invites were complete and sent to Walgreens to be printed! Then I started with my lists for decorations, games, cake etc! All will be done by ME...and I am NOT A BAKER! Thanks to other Blogs and websites I was given the encouragement I needed to pull this off.
Another BFF found this
and is sending it for the favor bags! LEGO CANDY! WOW! I need to get out more!
I found online this LEGO font and after I played with it enough I made coloring sheets, all the letters I will need to make a Happy Birthday banner, and other things I will need to print out for the cake, the door decorations etc. This was a good find!
Then I found this Lego Cake and totally knew I could do that with a couple of boxes of cake mix, some frosting, some food coloring and some cupcakes! See, I am getting this done! :)
Sure, there is more to be done, and I will track my progress for you, but for now I am feeling good on the list I have made. The next couple of evenings I will be cutting out lots of letters for the banner to make next week. Stay tuned.....
