party time …
It really was perfect…a big smile crosses my face every time I think of Ava Kate’s birthday party. She loved every minute of being in the spotlight. I am so happy with the way the party came together… and I couldn’t have done it without the help of lots of crafty mommas. As is obvious in the photo below…the face painting booth was a big hit!
Everyone went home with some pink cotton candy flavored popcorn…
She smiled all day long…

Hi! Thanks so much for the compliments…the popcorn was one of my absolute favorite things and it is super tasty. I bought it from a local gourmet popcorn store (Popcorn Papa located in Dallas, TX). I was lucky in that their pink popcorn was already flavored “cotton candy” and completely matched Ava’s party theme:)
Thanks for stopping by!

I love the circus theme of the party but I think what makes it so special is the choice of colours, I would never have thought of using them. Would you mind if I used some of these photos on my blog http://www.peachblossompartyideas.blogpost.com ?

Thank you so much for your kind words:) I didn’t make the cotton candy flavored popcorn. I purchased the pink cotton candy flavored popcorn from a local gourmet popcorn shop … Popcorn Papa. They are located in Dallas, Texas. I know they ship….and their popcorn rocks!!!
