Pink Princess Party

Pink Princess Party

For several months my little girl has been telling me she wanted a "Pink Princess Party" for her birthday.  Pink balloons, pink cupcakes, and princess tiaras!  I could have just ordered some Disney Princess Stuff and called it good, but I wanted something a little different.  And, I wanted to do it as frugally as possible!

It is that time of year when thoughts turn to all things spooky.  I admit that before kids I was way more into "Autumn" stuff than anything "Spooky".  My little boy has turned me on to the fun of silly, scary stuff.  Well, mildly scary.  :-)

   My little girl asked for a "pink princess party" and I wanted to make that happen as inexpensively as possible.  I decided tissue paper flowers were a great way to go.  They are cheap (about $1-2 for each one), easy to make, and make a big visual impact.

 It seems like every where I went picking up party stuff for my little one's princess party...I ran into banners!  I must be the last person on the planet to pick up on this "new" trend.  There are a lot of cute ready-made banners that you can pick up cheaply, but they seemed rather "disposable".  I wanted to make something that I could reuse after the party by hanging it in my little girl's bedroom.  I also did not want to spend much (if any) money.

Swagbucks Update 10/03/11

I do Swagbucks to save money for Christmas!  I use Swagbucks as my default search engine and earn points.  I also particpate in polls and watch some videos.  For my efforts I am rewarded with points that I can redeem for Amazon gift cards.  I started this project in June/July 2011.  My goal is to earn $120 worth of Amazon gift cards in time to order Christmas presents for my kids.  Each week I will update with my progress.  Read more about Swagbucks here.  Sign up for Swagbucks here.
