My daughter, Rachel’s 7th birthday party is this Friday. To get ready for it, we did some research online and found a really neat idea.
She wants a puppy birthday. She also wants a puppy FOR her birthday, but unfortunately that’s not going to happen. We decided to have the girls work together to make a fleece tie blanket for an animal in need at the local shelter. I’m so glad someone shared this great idea!
The woman who shared this idea went on to say that each guest was asked to bring their favorite stuffed animal. Each of the girls then made a tiny tie blanket for that stuffed animal. Since our party is a sleepover, we decided to make tie sleepingbags for the girls’ animals.
I cannot wait to take THAT picture! We’ll take a picture of the girls with the blanket they created for the shelter and send a copy along with the blanket when we drop it off. Rach will also give a copy to each of the girls in their thank you cards, along with a picture of her with each girl holding their tiny sleepingbags and one with all of the girls in their sleeping bags (half-circle) with all of their stuffed animals in their sleeping bags next to them.
I love taking cool pictures. There’s no better gift than a quality picture, if you ask me. If all of the girls who were invited to the party can make it, we’ll have a total of 12.
I know, what was I thinking?!
The woman who shared the party idea did say, though, that the girls were so engrossed in what they were doing that the party was very…quiet.
I’m counting on that!
But I’m no fool. After we finish projects and picture-taking we’re moving on to a small bite of hot fudge banana split cake and then going out to the nearby park.
If the cake stays down, we’ll jump on the trampoline when we get back. Gotta wear those sweeties out before bedtime
