I remember seeing these cute jellyfish on Pinterest but their tutorial was so much work. You had to take a plastic tablecloth, cut it into strings and then pull in certain ways to create ruffles and then you had to sew streamers together. So cute but so much work. This is a much quicker way. I got 6 medium sized paper lanterns and cut just the bottom off so it created a half dome. Then instead of doing the plastic tablecloth I found these plastic leis.
I knew I wanted to call the cupcakes at the “One”der the Sea Party crab cakes but it was so expensive to buy individual crab toppers and I’m not skilled in any way with fondant so I thought this would work best. I used my Cricut to cut out these crabs. The cartridge was Life’s a Beach and I cut them to be 3 inches. After I just drew on the details, did a lot of hole punching for the one crab’s cheeks and taped them to lollipop sticks.
I got released from Activity Days earlier this month. It was pretty bittersweet, one on hand I’ll be glad to spend more time with my husband and daughter but on the other I’ll miss the girls and I’ll miss the creative outlet it gave me. For my last activity I planned the Mother/Daughter activity as a cowgirl theme. Since they’re 10 years old we had a bit of fun with the food. They couldn’t stop giggling at the cow pies. 😉
It was Father-in-Law’s 60th birthday yesterday so we rang it in with a big surprise party! A week ago Jessie and I took the girls to Riverdale and got a bunch of decorations for the party from Zurchers…my favorite party store…Scott’s so happy it’s not closer to us or we’d be very poor. We put up SO much tape for the decorations, I think I’ll be finding pieces of it well into the New Year.
