Emma's 10th Birthday Party... 4 months late :)

A Thanksgiving birthday is hard to have a party where your friends can come... then the holidays set in & everyone is super busy... then we were going to Disney World & Eva Grace had 8:30 ballgames every Saturday January-February...So, now it is the first weekend in March & the first open weekend, it's party time!!!
Emma wanted a Paint Your Own Canvas Party. She loves to plan events and planned most of her own party (while learning a lesson on budgeting!! Her entire party cost $100). She wanted to paint an owl, so that was our theme. We found a picture she liked, gave it to Jenny who made our cake match EXACTLY and went from there.
Emma enjoyed making most of her own decorations (which saved money for her budget). The owl sitting in the bucket has paint brush flowers surrounding it :)

The girls had to paint in phases, letting the paint dry inbetween each step. They all started with white canvases!! We traced the owl outline and eyes on to the canvas from cardstock, the girls free handed the rest.
The Masterpieces! Great job by all, and a lot of fun!! :)
