A pat on the back...

Okay so Brooklyn's Birthday is coming up and this year she decided that she wants to go the Nutcracker for her birthday party! The only problem is that her birthday is after Christmas and the Nutcracker is usually performed before Christmas! This year we are celebrating her birthday early! I think it will be nice to do her birthday party before Christmas since she will be having her baptism soon after her real birthday and that would be crazy to try to deal with all of that during the same week!

Anyways....I created the most adorable birthday invitation! lol
That's where the pat on the back title come's in!! lol

The Invitation reads...

Here ye, Here ye,
Come one, Come all,
The Nutcracker Prince is having a Ball!
He is inviting princesses and fairies across the way
To come help celebrate Brooklyn’s 8th Birthday!
A night of Magic, surprises and treats,
join us for a birthday to the Nutcracker suite!
When: Friday December 12th 5:30-10:00p.m
Where: We will meet at Brooklyn’s house at 5:30,
be sure not to be late,
for we will be leaving shortly after for our special date!
We will be dining at McDonald's
and then going to see the Nutcracker!!
We will drop the girls off at home immediately after!

I printed it on vellum, backed it on scrapbook paper and then tied it with Black ribbon onto an actual little Nutcracker!
Here's how they turned out...



Yay...me! lol

K, I am seriously impressed!! That is the cutest thing I've ever seen. I now know who I'm going to come to when planning birthday parties for Alex/Brooke.

I hope the party was fun! Where on earth do you get your energy?
