FREE PRINTABLE: Lalaloopsy Party Invitations

We got our invitations to the girls' Lalaloopsy party in the mail yesterday. Yea!  I'm pretty happy with the way they turned out.  Not bad for someone who is not a graphic designer, eh??  And after all that work, I am very happy to offer them to you as a FREE PRINTABLE! I'm providing them in two different ways.  The first way–you print out the invitation on white cardstock, then fill in the information by hand.  Here's the preview.

DOWNLOAD THIS INVITATION HERE.

The second version provides editable fields so you can type in your own information.  You need Acrobat X Pro or Acrobat X Standard to use this version. Once you've downloaded the PDF from Scribd and saved it, click "Highlight Existing Fields" to see where the editable fields are. Type in your info, save the copy and print onto white cardstock.

And for anyone who doesn't know what Lalaloopsy dolls are, I included a small card with a brief description of the dolls and what we'll be doing at the party.  I got this idea from Pinterest here. :)

I would love to know if you use these!

Gift for the School Nurse

My daughter Renee has allergies and asthma, so we rely on the school nurse a great deal to help her during the day.  For instance, Renee needs to take her inhaler before P.E. class. So, I wanted to make sure to give the nurse and health tech a little something extra as a thank you for all their help during the school year.  We put together this little "Summer First Aid" kit for each of them.  I was originally going to put everything in a First Aid box, but when I saw that adorable tote in Targets Red Spot bin ($1.50!) I thought the ladies would get more use out of that instead.  We're packing the tote with a few useful goodies for the summer, like an insulated cup, snack, lip balm and sunscreen.  Renee can't wait to give it to them!

Lil' Cowboy Baby Shower

In great anticipation for the arrival of their new son, parents Nick and Dawn threw a co-ed family and friends baby shower at their new home in Arizona. Co-workers did an amazing job creating the decor for the event.  The diaper carriage and fabric cake centerpiece are particularly amazing!  Fun interactive games kept the adults and kids entertained. Big thanks to J Lyn Photography for taking and sharing the details from this special day!

Pom Pom Banner

Different sized poms give this banner such a great texture and adds a lot of fun over the standard letter banners you buy in stores.  These pom pom banners can be bought here on etsy.  But if you wanna try your DIY hand at making one, you can probably hot glue the poms to cardboard letters. Then attach the letters to a string.  Great for a rainbow party or fiesta!

Almond Joy Bites

I LOVE coconut!  My mouth immediately started watering when I saw these Almond Joy Bites from Will Cook for Smiles. A special treat to bring in to the office for a co-worker's birthday or just to serve as a dessert after dinner.  Find the full recipe here.

County Fair 1st Birthday Party

I love this all-American rustic styled birthday party given for little Levi's first birthday.  Complete with red and white gingham touches and food favorites like corn, watermelon and mini pumpkin pies!  Kids had so much fun playing classic games like ring toss, sack races and good ol' fashioned outside play.  Thanks to Meggan Joy Photo in Washington for taking and sharing all the details. Such great inspiration for the Summer!

 

Fruit Flavored Water

Doesn't that look totally refreshing?!  A pretty addition to your Mother's Day brunch on Sunday?? Also perfect for a spa party. Make sure you make it well in advance so the fruit flavors have time to infuse into the water.  Find the full tutorial at Sweet Little Gals here.

Whatever your drink of choice on Sunday, have a wonderful Mother's Day!!
