First let's talk food (always my favorite part):
Little people + art supplies indoors = total panic for me. Sure, the package SAYS it's "washable," but my throw pillows from Pier One strongly disagree. So we decided to throw an outdoor art party! Way less anxiety for me, and the little people could just wash up in the kiddie pool when they were all done! Kind of brilliant, right? First let's talk food (always my favorite part): We had a "sculpt your nacho masterpiece" bar along with other delicacies, like Rembrandt's Rainbow Pasta Salad (see prior blog post on dying your noodles - so easy and fun!), Andy Warhol Beans (killer food sign for that one!), rainbow fruit bowls, Michelangelo's Meatballs, Picasso Pinwheels, and Rice Krispy treats that looked like paintbrushes: We had various art stations set up outside - the food tables had a paper runner the kids could color on, they could paint a rock, there was a mask making station... So much fun! I usually keep the décor pretty simple for parties, especially when they're outside events. I printed off a free banner from Google (an easy DIY item you don't have to pay for!) and found these cute picture frames for $1! (You could also make these inexpensively, just cut colored pencils and glue them on a cheap frame, or even do it with crayons to keep it simple and colorful! :)

AuthorI love writing romance novels, editing other people's novels, planning parties (heavy on the theme food!) and watching movies. Cooking has also become a passion of mine (because you can't have a proper party without food!) and I love finding new hobbies when I can squeeze them in. Archives
