The MOMENT has FINALLY arrived!!!

The birthday party for a princess...went something like this...

I had a vision...a...not so clear vision...but a vision...

I wanted to do a "castle princess" themed birthday party for my turning "9" year old.

Unfortunately I am NOT good at planning months in advance for a party...and actually I never have a full vision...let me explain...I have an idea...usually a very small idea that sometimes doesn't turn out AT ALL...anyway...I go to a store...start seeing things and THAT is when I start getting more ideas...that eventually start forming something! Anyone else out there like that?!

Anyone...??

OK..

 So...in about 1 weeks time I threw together a party for my princess!

First I hit the dollar tree and found these in the "wedding supplies" section...the actual "box" part of it turned out to be ALOT smaller then I thought...but it worked out to be just fine!

I also found these in the same section...

and I found these by the photo frames...

I couldn't have been more ecstatic to find these...they fit the theme perfectly!!

after putting the bubbles inside and 1 magnet picture frame...they went together to look like this!

I know it's a "wedding dress" but isn't that basically the ULTIMATE princess gown?!

mm-hhhhmmmm!

OK...so far so good...right?!

So I kinda wanted to crochet a princess crown for this occasion as well...that is pretty much where my DIYness stops...YES I can crochet...NO I can't write patterns!! So I did some searching online and found a pattern here from midnight knitter!

I made up a bunch for all the princess guests to wear and keep!!

A friend of mine who does hair for a living came over and did all the girls' hair for me...glitter and all!

ooh...I almost forgot!! No princess is complete without her "princess" wand!!

I got the directions for these from Little Birdie Secrets here 

I used whatever ribbon I had on hand and this is how they were displayed! Each little princess got to pick one when they arrived and take it home as part of their gift!

I also made up a few tissue paper pom poms to hang for some party decor!!

I found the directions for them here

and

OK...so

Everyone have a Blessed Week!!
