Owls & Butterflies: Sage's 10th Birthday Party

Yesterday, we had Sage's birthday party and 

went with a combination of owls & butterflies for the theme.

The party started with a photo shoot outside on our front steps...

Then, we went inside and the girls played while I printed out the photos.

Once copies were printed out for each girl, they made mini-books with them.

One of the girls had to leave early, unfortunately.

We did a second craft after that -- they decorated EOS lip balms with

some patterned paper I die cut using PTI's Critter Cuties: Owl die.

Aren't they cute! Thanks to Betsy Veldman for the idea!

I hung butterflies from the chandelier and arranged the snack on the piano...

We made cupcake toppers using the Life is Beautiful dies.

Sage & I found the cupcake holder at a garage sale and Austin spray

painted it gold for me.

I also made some owl cookies 

(sorry for the poor photo!)

I think, all in all, that it was a success!

Thanks for looking!
