Favours
I decided that Jackson can go to his classmate's birthday party - maybe even the whole thing, I'm not positive about that part yet - but I am going to try my hardest to make next Wednesday special for him by taking party favours and some kind of sweet treat in to his class. Here are the favours I made:
9 pink and 9 blue. They are made out of balls of streamer crepe paper with little things hidden in the layers so the kids will have little suprises as they unwrap them. There are charms, hairbands, stickers & erasers in the girls' packages and those little parachute men, put-together cars, stickers and dissolve-in-water sponge creatures in the boys' packages. I got everything from the dollar store so each one probably cost about $3 to make.
I wasn't sure how to finish them off but then found this great ribbon I have been carrying around with me for the since 1998 (I knew it would be useful one day!) and thought it really made them look special.
So that the things inside don't get lost as they are unwrapped I might put them into individual containers of some sort with maybe a small bag of jelly beans? I don't know if I want to do cupcakes. Very messy. Jelly Bellies are so pretty and who doesn't like jelly beans? Nobody, that's who.
I got the idea from here.

The gifts are beautiful !! I'm just about to begin invitation cards myself.
I have questions also about the 6th anniversary of Odile, my daughter, which is next Saturday. She wants a girls only party. It reduces the number of children in our not so big house, but I feel bad for the nice boys in her class. We could go to the park near the river, but I would myself be very reluctant to let my child go to any park near a river when I'm not there... Thanks for the message at my place, I was all shy to see a comment there. I will try the Tide-thing on paper if it seems that it won't destroy more of it :).
Those are adorable! I keep things like that ribbon around for years, too, and then when it comes in handy I'm so excited!
