Princess Party- Crafts in the Making

 I bought the wood castles at Michael's and painted them pink and white. I added the monogram to the flags and then I added some pink glitter to the areas in pink. The pom pom wands were from an idea I saw on Pinterest. I will make more since now she wants to wear a blue dress. The wands were pretty easy to make and I used hair spray on a pencil wrapped in ribbon to make the curls stay. The treasure chests on the bottom were ordered from Oriental Trading. One of the crafts at the party will be for the girls to decoupage them with tissue paper. I also bought some stick on jewels. Inside the treasure chests we put purple tissue paper, a ring and a couple of plastic coins. I also typed an excerpt of T.D. Channell's "Daughter of a King" and glued it to the inside of the treasure chest.

Princess Party

This is my first blog so we'll see how it goes. My youngest daughter is turning 9  in March. Usually we go to Disney for her birthday, but this year she wanted to have a party. She recently started a new school and wants to invite her new friends. So the idea of throwing her a princess party began. After countless of hours on Pinterest  (wow that site is addicting),  looking at pages on the internet and of course her creative input. We finally came up with a concept. We really didn't want it to be Disney themed per say just Regal and Royal and Girly. I will be posting pictures of some of the projects we've been working on leading up to the party. I'm still not sure how all this will look on the actual posted blog but here goes.
