Our house is buzzing!  Our youngest is turning 5 soon, and I am super excited.  Annika is so full of life, caring and often has our house in hysterical giggles.  She has a love of everything art related and she is continually asking to do a “project”.  Love it!  So when we were thinking of what type of party she wanted it was an easy choice…Art Party.  As I am writing this, Annika is cuddled up beside me and pretending to paint Tangled on my cheek with a a dry brush.  Everything is a canvas and I love encouraging her to be creative.

I admit, I have a bit of a thing for birthdays.  There is something about my house all decorated, lots giggling kids and tons of cake that makes me really happy.  OK if I am being completely honest, I LOVE decorating the house and creating the party atmosphere.  I would love to hand over everything to someone more capable once the kids start arriving.  Not that I don’t enjoy the party as well, I just REALLY love staying up late crafting, decorating and transforming my home.  I am so glad that my kids love parties as much as I do, or at least they pretend to:)

Over the next few days I will be busy creating, painting and truly enjoying the turmoil that birthday parties bring to our house.  I can’t wait to show you how our house transforms.  (Transforms might be a bit of a strong word to use, but I can’t think of a better word so transforms it is!)  For now here is a peek at the invitations that I created.  They are really simple, but I love them.
