my books. my life.

I never actually joined the May Pin It & Do It challenge. But I ended up using Pinterest for some of the inspiration for E’s party. So I’m doing a wrap-up anyway. Plus, you guys get a little preview of the party before I do my real post (just waiting on the pictures).

Pin It: Cloth diaper and tie for smash cake.

Do It: I modified this and did a cloth diaper and bib. Made for easy clean up! (I promise there is a diaper under there)

Pin It: Hunny Pots

Do It: I made four hunny pots for E’s birthday and filled them with candy. Deciding what to do with them now. I also made some of those bees and had the kids make them as a craft project at the party.

Pin It: Pooh Invitations

Do It: These were so adorable, I went straight to Etsy and bought them. It required printing them myself, which proved a bit challenging due to some copyright issues. But I managed. I used those little squares as envelope seals.

Pin It: Instagram One

Do It: I not only made a “1,” I made a “ONE!” And it worked out as an “E,” too. I used regular photos since I had a bunch of those rather than printing instagram photos.

 Pin It: Ballon Photo

Do It: Well, we didn’t have the chair and Evan didn’t want to hold the balloons and then he fell on one and then they kept popping and I don’t have the photos back yet, so I have no idea if it worked.

How’s that for an unofficial participant? I should not join challenges more often!
