Gingerbread Party!

Happy Friday Everyone!

This week my kids went back to school on Wednesday but on Tuesday I had the fun opportunity to help my friend, Mary, with her daughter's birthday party.  I made the gingerbread cupcakes and was the official photographer.  As you can probably tell, my friend Mary is a TOTAL awesome party planner.  She doesn't do anything small.  It is all big and beautiful!!  Her children are lucky to have her in their lives.






I hope you all have a FABULOUS weekend!!  I am still trying to get caught up on two weeks of laundry for 7 people!  It is a MOUNTAIN.  Hopefully I will be able to get in My Pink Loft to just play!

Hugs,
Robyn

Good luck with the laundry mountain! I just finally conquered mine from the holidays - yesterday! All of those extra blankets and things from company just about did me in! So hang in there - at least with laundry there IS an ending point - never an end but an ending point in site! Have a great weekend!

That party looks amazing! I hope your friend won't mind if I steal some of her ideas (love those aprons!)! Laundry: I'm beginning to suspect that my laundry is breeding somehow. It's just not possible that we produce THAT much in such a short time, right? ;)

Thanks for sharing!

I love to decorating, cooking, and entertaining. The old west cartridge would come in very handy with all of the horse images. Living in Louisville, I LOVE to entertain during Derby week.... not to mention all of the Derby school projects that my son has to make.
