Lizzie's 8th Birthday

Chocolate Cupcakes with Pink Buttercream for Lizzie's classmates

Need a cupcake carrier?
 Ask your local Kroger bakery.... I think each container was $2.50.

Slumber Party invites

I found the little girl image on google, printed and cut them out, then added eyes.

Found these cute socks at target and thought they would make a great sleeping bag:)
When the guest arrived at the party we gave them the other sock,
they were all so cute wearing matching cupcake socks.

Lizzie and I had so much fun making her invites! 

Mini Barbie Cupcakes

Everyone had their own cake with their names.
And they got to take home their dolls.  The girls loved them!

Center Piece 

I made sure the girls had lots of goodies:)

They each got a sleeping mask and pillowcase

They enjoyed decorating pillowcases

Homemade baked donuts......they were yummy!

Breakfast Menu: Mini quiche, fruit and baked donuts

I had left over fabric, so I might as well go ahead and redo these chairs
(they only needed to be redone for six or more years now...haha!!)

Now I'm thinking I will paint the top of the table with chalkboard paint.
The top has been colored on and it's scratched up so I thought I would try it.
