GOOD ON PAPER - The Nutcracker Tale
tell the tale
The Nutcracker collection is really something special, and I actually had my husband bring it all the way from SA to CH to use it for Zara's Birthday party at school: I strung up the bunting by the Christmas tree, made some cupcakes and decorated with the little toppers and wrappers and popped one of the crackers in each kiddies' basket.
But the part that I am most "proud" of (if I say so myself) were these little felt masks that I had made by Mahalo.
The teacher at school read the Nutcracker tale at story time, and then under their Christmas tree were the little masks gift wrapped for each child, using little favour tags and a scroll telling the tale (so Mommy can re-read at home). The kids loved them so much, and they spent the rest of playtime fighting the assistant teacher dressed as the Mouse King and dancing around like Sugar Plum Fairies!
Why not print the story out and tell the tale to your little one tonight! And available for purchase for R50 is the complete printable party collection...

TOO GOOD TO MISS - Day Nine
jolly good fun
Do you have lots and lots of family and extended family over Christmas? Are you concerned how you will keep everyone entertained? (Christmas TV always seems to disappoint - don't you think?). Well how about getting one of these Jolly Good Show Table Games to spice things up? and NOW! at half price! I love the disguises (R40.00) for an impromptu photo booth or the jolly rosettes (R15.00) are pretty cool - especially the one that designates the task of "DRINKS MONITOR" to someone.

GOODIES - Snow in a Jar
a white wonderland
On Sunday, Zara celebrated her 5th Birthday at the local ice rink.
So for party favours, I thought it would be fun to take polaroid pictures of each of the little guests strutting thier stuff on the ice and then hold onto the pics till the end of the party and giving them with a little wrapped party favour of one of these snow globes. The globes make a great gift for someone who has everything and are especially sentimental when you add a Christmas photo inside! I quite like the idea of having a collection of them all with a different Christmas photo from each year and displaying these on a windowsill.
