Construction party ideas/inspiration

What little boy doesn't love digging and playing with tools?!? ... well, maybe girls too ;o) I have a tool shop that would make most men jealous ;o)

Here are some ideas to add some frosting to your construction theme party!

This tabletop is so cute! "dirt" and chocolate cupcakes are the perfect addition to all the construction vehicles! I like the tools on the banner too! Source

Set up dig stations! How fun would that be! Messy... so take it outside or put down a shower curtain to help with spills! Source

Make little lunch boxes for each kid! this would be the perfect way to serve lunch for the kids at the party - you could even include stickers to let them decorate them! Source

Toolboxes out of altoid tins! So clever and stinking adorable! What a great favor for each kid! Source

Super cute set of cookie inspiration! I think the wood glue is my fav! Source

Shopping Saturday! (on Sunday ;o)

whew! What a week! In-laws are gone, back to party time! ;o) Didn't get out much this week... but here are some great finds...

Halloween is my FAV! Can't believe, it's out in July, but whatever! ... look close (click on pic to enlarge)... Lot's of black encrusted stuff for a glam party - not just for Halloween! (you can leave the skulls out ;o)  p.s. They also have large foam black chandeliers!

Hanna Montana Wall decals - at one dollar you can use them on everything from the plastic tablecloth, to favor bags, on cake stand ... or on the wall ;o)  Because they are removable, your house can be de-Hanna-fied really easily!
