Carnival themed Birthday Party!

September 3, 2014

  Recently  this little  guy  turned 3!tickets

 The day after Lincoln turned 3.  Wyatt turned 5!

Seemed like a pretty  good reason to throw a themed birthday  party.  We decided on a Carnival theme…  Here is a small peak into the  preparations and the festivities of the evening.  With a HUGE thank you to my talented friend Sara.  She captured all the moments perfectly!

 

 The Decorations

“Food Truck”

 Christmas lights+ Ping Pong Balls+ Paneling+ Paint=  Best  food display EVER

 In retrospect I  wish I had given myself some time to get myself ready for the party…

Photo Back Drop

   Guess what!?   Those Marquee letters actually  light up!  Love it.  Would you believe those are ping pong balls, Christmas lights, and twin sheets ?  Cheap and easy!

The Games

Disk Drop

 This is just  peg board and  golf tees  Just  add some paint and wooden disks and voila,  you have a fun little anxiety attack for kids.

 The ” Bean  Bag Toss”

 Need a party game ?  This is a simple one! All you need is a piece of  cheap paneling, a jigsaw, and some paint and you are good to go! Although  I actually  forgot about making “bean bags”, so we used  some of the balls from the kids “ball pit”.

 Linc is a thinker. “Work smarter, not harder.”

Shooting Range

 I painted mini-targets on coasters, and put a small peg on the back.   I set them up in the kids book case.  Easy peasy.

   Doughnut on a String

 Complete with homemade awning.

The Food

The Cake

 I am by no means a talented  Baker,  but it  turned out ok.  I was more excited about the cake stand and the cute toppers.

 What is a Carnival without Funnel Cakes ?

Judging by the look on this little  guys face,  I would qualify this party as a success.

Meet Corey

Hi everyone, my name is Corey, and I have a problem. I can’t leave well enough alone… The best therapy usually involves a variety of power tools. So, in the few “spare” moments I am not entertaining my two beautiful, rambunctious, boys, I can typically be found hunched over a sewing machine and/or covered in sawdust. All in the efforts to create a perfect balance of aesthetics and practicality in our home.

I leaned in heavily to the dark moody feel for the guest bedroom makeover and I love it! The dark sienna  hue, coupled with my @kilzbrand #accentwallchallenge is absolutely stunning. (If I do say so myself.)
I have a room tour, wall tutorial and source links on the site today. #linkinprofile #sponsored #everyprojectisworthit
@Kilzbrand presented me their #accentwallchallenge @Kilzbrand presented me their #accentwallchallenge, and you know how much I love a good challenge!
If I am being completely honest, I feel like I rocked this challenge. It is absolutely insane how a single wall can change the entire feel of a room. 

On the site I have a full tutorial on how you too can create this look and all the fun details about my choice of color from the Magnolia Home by Joanna Gaines® paint line & the KILZ 3® Premium Primer

Am I the only one who tackles unnecessary projects Am I the only one who tackles unnecessary projects before entertaining guests? As I was preparing the guest room for the Holidays I had an epiphany. I had a vision of what this room could be, and I just cannot let it go - this room needs an accent wall!

I am teaming up with the great folks over at @kilzbrand to create the perfect accent wall, with a gorgeous color from the Magnolia Home by Joanna Gaines® paint line & KILZ 3® Premium Primer. Stay tuned because this accent wall is going to be gorgeous. I just need to pick my accent color. What do you guys think, clay or sage?  #sponsored #kilz #GuestRoomMakeover #AccentWallChallenge #EveryProjectIsWorthIt
