Minnie Mouse Birthday Party Invitations

Hot Dog!!!! Plans for Baby K's Minne Mouse Birthday party are underway.  I wanted to share  how I transformed these bargain wedding invitations that I bought at MJ Designs for $14.99 (Gartner Studios Tall Fuscia Floral Invitation Kit SKU: 86191) into SUPER CUTE MINNIE BIRTHDAY PARTY INVITES!


I started with my Mickey Ear Paper Shaper!

I used it to punch out the flower!



Then I attached the black card stock included in the set!

Then OH TOODLES....I opened my brand new Silhouette and he cut out cute lil Minnie Bows on The Paper Studio's Hot Pink w/ Polka Dots Paper (item # 466268) from Hobby Lobby! Added some text and the bows and Meeska, Mooska MINNIE MOUSE!!!! We have SUPER CUTE MINNIE MOUSE INVITES!!
I'm even using the reply cards, included in the set, as THANK YOU's!!!

More fun times in Mommyland!!! I love it!! I'm thinking with the left overs, I might have to make some fun Valentines cards!!
Hugs

Pumpkin Pie...Preschool Style

Bug's class had their Thanksgiving feast this week and everyone in the class was asked to bring a dish. We were chosen to bring Pumpkin Pie!


As I looked down the list of food items, I noticed that everyone was being asked to bring finger foods, like turkey slices rolled up, grapes and cheese cubes. I wanted to figure out a way to make Pumpkin Pie more 4 year old friendly. That's when I remembered these...
I bought a mega sized package of these at Party City, so that "Bug" could take ranch in her lunch. (Yes, I had to ask the 20 something guy for the jello shot containers, before he could figure out what I was looking for...giggle! )


Lined those little dip cups up....


Grabbed the melon baller and dipped out a portion for each of our lil preschool friends...


Quick visit with my computer and pumpkin pie becomes pumpkin pie dip!


Put our Pumpkin Pie Dip in baggies with a few Scooby Doo Graham Cracker Sticks. I'm thinking that's how the pilgrims ate theirs, right?



The teachers were thrilled and said it's the first time they had an entire class eat pumpkin pie. We will SO be serving Pumpkin Pie Dip at our Thanksgiving Feast!
Have a blessed holiday!!
Hugs,
Tara
