So, one of the things that makes me happy is crafting. It's relaxing, often something I can do with my daughter, and sometimes challenging.
When trying to decide what type of blog I wanted to do, I first started with a craft blog where I share some of my projects. However, I didn't feel like the blog captured everything I wanted to, thus I started this blog. Since the goal of Tipping the Happy Scale is all about sharing things that make me happy, I have decided I am going to re-post all my craft posts.
So here is the first.....

Ok, so obviously, I watch a little too much toddler TV. I think I channeled Dora for my intro there. Despite my toddlers love of Dora, she actually chose to have Minnie Mouse Birthday. For this lovely birthday, I had a lot of fun doing party projects. a thrifty, but fun event, which required lots of projects!
For the party we made ears for all the guests, here is a picture of my little one in her ears, which were made from a sparkle foam sheet and glued onto a headband. I used regular gross grain ribbon fro the bow. It was a very simple and inexpensive approach and they worked out great.
Another project that I found to be a lot of fun, super cute and super easy was the loot bags which you can see here.
For the loot bags, I actually made the bows out of card stock. I thought they turned out really well and they were super easy. I used the paper bows on my centerpieces as well. My daughter of course helped make all these items, some more than others.
My Mother-in-law made the cake. Not only did it look fantastic, but it tasted great as well. Her cakes always taste fantastic!
For the food we served sliders or as we called them minnie- burgers, and we also grilled hot diggity dogs. Ha!
I'm quite positive my little one had a great time, she loved having all the people over just for her. She asked me a couple days later if when she could have another birthday with people. I told her it would be awhile for another birthday, but maybe we could come up with another reason to have people over.
Most of these ideas came from things I found when googling Minnie Mouse, zebra, pink, and birthday.
Hope you enjoy!
Have a great day!
