Shelby's Princess Party

I had to share the highlight of my day yesterday with you. On the way home from the office, I stopped by Sara’s house. Shelby was having a birthday party, and the house was full of five-year-old princesses! Sara had invited me to stop by, and I was so glad I did.

I knew I couldn’t stay long—I actually got there late and left early—but the few minutes I was there made my heart sing. The festive mood was set by the pink banner on the front door.

Inside were about 10 little girls dancing around wearing pink tulle tutus (Sara had made them, with our own Stampin’ Up! ribbons as accents) and crowns they’d made themselves, enjoying their party favors. (Sara had used our own Princess Party Kit, so I was partial, but I really did think everything looked adorable!)

I didn’t stick around for Shelby to open up all her presents, but it looked like she’d made quite a haul! And the princess party theme had carried over to the gifts; they all looked pretty girly-girl!

I needed to feel that five-year-old energy yesterday; I left way earlier than I would have liked, but feeling happy and lighthearted! That’s what hanging around a houseful of princesses will do to you!

LOL, wow! A party of 5-year-old princesses! I am envious...I was only allowed one child, a boy, so I never have had the whole girlie experience. Lucky grandma! ~Betsy Z, Spokane Valley WA

What a cute party and cute decorations! Great Job, Sara. Is Shelby the youngest of her little ones?

How wonderful that we can share your grandchildren with you. I love birthday parties and princess ones are the very BEST! I have a 5 year old Princess too and she is my granddaughter and graduates from pre-k tomorrow and she has requested princesses for her gifts and make up
(dear Lord are we in trouble?). I love the name Shelby! Kiss her for me and wish her many more.

Hi Shelli!
I am at that in between stage ... my own girls are tooooo big for princess parties ... but as yet no grandkids to share a princess party with! I think, though ... with 5 of my own kids ... that there are sure to be plenty of princess parties ahead! So glad you managed to share some special moments with Shelby on her birthday! So nice to meet you again at Convention! Your demos are ALWAYS my favourites! Stampin' Hugs xxAndreaxx
What a perfect little girls dream party! Shelby may not remember all the datails but she will certainly remember how she felt that day. She will remember seeing those who love her and make her feel spaecial. BUT, it is the little details that can bring this feeling about. It is the love and thought that we get to put into the preparations that warm our hearts and allow us to show that we care. I love that the details of things allow me a way to show my admiration, don't you?

Cute! Cute! I admire how you were able to share this special event w/ us without showing any of the little friends. Great ideas. Both the party & the way you blog.
