No, that is not a spelling error! Huntler calls cupcakes “pupcakes” and to switch things up a bit on what has turned out to be one LONG afternoon and evening, I decided to throw that in!! Everything was going really well until about 3:00 or 3:30 this afternoon and since then, we have been on a downhill slide!!
Gentry had some M*A*J*O*R constipation issues today (she has always had issues) and for the first time in a long, long while, I had to give her a suppository. Not at all fun for her and truly not pleasant for me. To make matters worse, she was flailing around and tightening her little rear end so badly the first time I didn’t get enough of the liquid in her and had to do it all over again (I am NOT good at this kind of thing). So, a good chunk of time following her nap was spent holding and consoling and helping a little one who was NOT doing well. And in case you are wondering…she finally went and all was well in her little world after that!!
Then somehow or another Huntler got hurt, the wind was blowing my invites all over and ruining my photo shoot, the kids went from being happy to instantly grumpy from exhaustion and I myself am flat worn out!! And it’s just another manic Monday!! WHEW!
On the bright side though…I LOVE LOVE LOVE how these {sweet} little invites turned out! The photos SO do not do them justice! If I can get around early enough in the morning I may take them back out and try my mini photo shoot again when the wind isn’t blowing them everywhere and the light is a little better! We’ll see though…the sun rises AWFULLY early in these parts and I am already up later than I wanted to be!!
First off…in an attempt to combine my fun paper invites with the 3D invites I have been dreaming of, I jazzed up these cute little take out boxes and plan to stick cupcakes in them in the morning before hand delivering them! I just curled some ribbon and sprinkled on a little glitter and called it good!!
And here are the paper invites!! The colored part of the cupcake top opens to reveal all of the wording! I sprinkled all sorts of glitter on these little gems and I LOVE them! And if you are ever wanting a fun little idea…stick a magnet on the back of a handmade invite and then it can be stuck on the fridge! I did this on the ladybug invites from last year and then again on the cupcakes.
I had a pic up showing the inside, but decided to take it down for right now. I have NO idea who all reads this and although I share just about everything on here…there are some details I am keeping to myself!!
Here is what we decided on for the wording though…
Sugar And Sprinkles
There’s So Much To Do
Little Miss Gentry
Is Turning Two!
Shimmer And Sparkle
And All Things Fun…
Dinner And Treats For Everyone!
The Party Begins At 4:00 On The Dot
Gentry’s House Marks The Spot…
Friends Will Gather To Visit And Play
July — Is The Day!
And this batch up sparkly cupcakes will have teeny little holes punched in them and be hung with fishing line from the ceiling during the party…not sure where yet, but we’ll figure that out! They are the same size as the invites, but each side has a different patterned paper so when they spin they will all be unique!!
I have LOTS of fun ideas of craftiness with cupcakes for my up and coming Etsy shop!! Have I mentioned that yet on here? Don’t think so…Yes, I am working on fun creative goods but it will take me a few weeks to get a banner, shipping supplies and everything all lined out! Believe me, I’ll share it when it is ready!!
Alrighty then…on that note I need to get to bed! If I stand any chance of getting up and out the door snapping away before the sprinkler system goes off and the sun gets to be too bright, I have GOT to get some rest! Let me know what ya think of these!!
