Girls Butterfly Birthday Party

My daughter recently celebrated her 7th birthday!  Every year I let her pick her birthday theme and I was so excited when she said she wanted butterflies!  I already knew about Sugar Robot's edible butterflies and had been wanting to try them for quite some time.  So I ordered some for her birthday cake and her classroom cupcakes.  The edible butterflies turned a simple cake and cupcakes into beautiful creations!  It literally took only minutes to decorate with these.  The kids in her class were so excited that they could eat the butterflies.  They were a hit!  For the rest of her birthday I found some inspiration on Pinterest from my 'Girls Birthday' board.  Everything came together so wonderfully and my daughter said it was the best day ever.  So here are some pictures of what I did and where I found some of my ideas.

Pinterest Craze

Ok, so maybe you already use Pinterest and LOVE it.  For everyone else, you really must join the craze of Pinterest! It's a site that let's you 'Pin' things you like from the internet onto digital boards.  It's a way of saving all those wonderful ideas, recipes, places and anything else you like all in one place.  It's so much easier than trying to write them down or bookmarking them which I find usually end up as a big messy list. So many businesses are using the site as an online marketing tool.  You can follow a lot of your favorite stores, bloggers and friends.  If you decide to give it a try and become addicted like the rest of us, be sure to follow me and my boards at http://pinterest.com/SahndaMarie/.  Hope to see you there!
