Thank you so much to everyone who entered the give-a-way! I truly wish I could send each and every one of you a package of pretty things, but alas, there can only be one winner. So, I assigned each comment entry a number (in the order in which they were received) and enlisted the help of a random number generator. And the winner is.......Jill Lang! Congratulations, Jill!
Now, on to some fun party stuff! I can't believe it's already time to start planning the girls' birthday parties. "Mini-mini-me's" is first and she desperately wants a slumber party this year. I can't say that I am completely overjoyed by this fact. I tend to prefer kids parties that end after about two hours and leave my sanity intact. But...Mini-mini really wants a slumber party and her older sister has already had several, so I guess I am doomed. ;-) I've decided that to make it more fun (for me!), we should at least do a theme that we (I) haven't done before. But what??? I feel I've done just about everything after all these years. I was really having a hard time coming up with something and then I just happened to see these by the check-out line at grocery store the other day...
Cotton Candy Ice Cream Cups! The minute I saw them, I was instantly inspired to do something that involves ice cream. Really pretty ice cream! So, after much discussion, Mini-mini and I have decided on an "Ice Cream Social Slumber Party"! I'll be sharing projects and recipes as I plan over the next month, so stay tuned...
Jessica
Yay! Thank you so much :)

Well, I'm sad that I didn't win, but congratuations to Jill!
My own darling daughter got invited to a Fake Slumber party, which I thought was brilliant, since I, too, like parties that end after two hours! The girls all showed up in their jammies with sleeping bags and pillows in hand, had pizza, watched a movie, ate snacks, and then the parents came and picked them up, about an hour after normal bedtime. This worked so well that I've used it for DD's friends who wanted to spend the night but were hesitant to spend the entire night away from their families. It sounds like your plans are set, but it's something to keep in mind for the future!
