The snow storm was lovely but it set me off schedule. Then, the children ended up having a delayed start yesterday. Two more hours lost. But we'll get there... before the party is over!
Rebecca requested pink and green cupcakes for her party after she saw my Red Velvet ones. Then everything became about being pink and green! (Except for the play room which in it's red and beige hues won't look so great in the bright, classic preppy colors!)
So I went party shopping with pink and green in mind...

So I went party shopping with pink and green in mind...
My friend Kim told me that she had wrapped some Mentos as snowmen for a party favor for one of her children. Snowmen would not work, but how cute they look all decked out in their Lilly!
Some pink and green bows and ornaments will dress up the chandelier...
Pink and green plates, napkins and tablecloths...
I've found the green m&ms... but the pink seem to be sold out... everywhere! Help!
Mentos all dressed up!
Some party games!
I am also going to create a game of Pictionary for the girls!
Next time I will use the short, wide sticks (not the rods)
These pink and green white chocolate covered pretzels may not look professionally done but their taste
These pink and green white chocolate covered pretzels may not look professionally done but their taste
is outta this world!
Wait til you see what I'm going to do with these wonderful Lilly papers!
Mama Henley wanted a tutorial on how to make these preppy pencils. I tried wrapping them in Lilly paper first. While they looked lovely, as soon as you tried to sharpen them... well, let's say I jammed the electric sharpener! (I did fix my mess.) So then I decided paint. Perhaps an oil-based paint is the way to go. The acrylic peeled off as soon as it dried. Hours wasted. This was a big DON'T!
So we have some pink and green food planned and I have some more pink and errands planned and I am clearly wasting valuable time here... so I am logging off until I have more to report!
Au revoir mes amis!
