140: I won and so can you

I entered a little party planning contest and won third prize.

Over at Creative Hostess they had a Most Adorable Kids Party of 2009 contest and someone suggested I enter.  Why not?

 

And Theo's birthday came in third place.  

Anywho, The prize I won was an adorable printable birthday set from Parties by Hardie.  Aren't they cute?

  

And, I'm passing it on to you!  All you have to do is leave a comment and tell me what theme you're planning for your next kids' birthday.

I'll pick a winner on Feb 10th at midnight, so enter before then.

And I promise my next two post will be of Aurora's birthday which was way back in September.

Congrats on your win. As always you deserve it.
My sweet little girl is so dreaming of a fairy party this April so, of course, I'd love to win.

My Toddler is turning three in May. We are going to do a letter them. I know sort of odd but he is all about those ABC'S

My son will be turning 2 at the end of April and hopefully we'll be able to throw the party at our house this time. Since we live near the lake I'm thinking sailboats, and dogs that ride on sailboats, since everything barks according to my boy.

Did you ever do a post on Theo's party? (I don't want to be in the draw for the prize ... but congratulations!)

Hi, I found your blog on Kara's Party ideas and wanted to say I thought you did a fabulous job! Thank you so much for sharing all your wonderful ideas. My twins are turning 2 at the end of the month and their party is a safari theme and my daughter will be 6 in April and her party theme is Hello Kitty. I'm finding it challenging, but rather fun putting that together without using too many "licensed" products. :)

I don't have a kid, so please don't count me in. Just wanted to say that of that three parties, I liked yours best. Because it is so unique and it is so hard to throw parties for a boy! Hey, maybe you can guestblog over at Made by Rae and MADE, they are doing a month full of things to make for boys! Your party would be a hit!

We are actually doing my daughter's "Turning 3 Under The Sea" today! Complete with a Mermaid Crown that I learned from this blog!

And sad as it is, I already have her NEXT birthday in the works! It's a circus theme!

[Courtney]

Congrats! I entered that contest too. Thanks for the second chance to win. My daughter will be having a "berry sweet" second birthday.

[Lesley]

My little girl will be 3 this summer, so I'm thinking of having a garden party with flowers and cupcakes. Very girly!
Thanks for the generous giveaway!

[The Meal Planner]

Yay!! You do the most incredible birthday parties, and I couldn't wait to hear about Aurora's. Congratulations on your win!

Hi! We are doing a Three and Thirty party. I am turning thirty a week before my son turns 3. We are doing a carnival theme.

[Brina Rohloff]

adorable! i think my daughters 2nd birthday in July will be cupcakes and polka dots- some of our favorite things!
thanks

[Sarah]

I always do homemade parties for my daughter and this year she will be 7 and really wants a circus party. I love your party pictures.

[Emily Kidd]

My son will be turning 2 in June and he loves cars, so we will be having a car theme. I love the idea of making cars out of cardboard that the kids can put on and "drive" around.

[Nicole]

I will probably plan a princess themed party for my daughter - but it's not til October. She's very much into pink and princesses right now. But I don't think I'd come close to what you did for your son. So cute and creative.

[Amnah]

My second daughter is turning one at the end of March. She is our lil monster. I Googled "monster birthday party" and found your blog. I loved the party. So many great ideas! I'll be going with the monster theme for sure. It's very unexpected for a girl's first birthday which makes it so fun.

By the way, I loved the construction party. It was very creative.

[Kim M.]

My son is turning 3 in a couple of weeks and the theme is going to be a contruction party. Thank to you I have some great ideas!

[melanie]

I'm thinking of a rainbow theme for my twins 3rd party...one loves pink and one loves orange...rainbows should create a seamless connection! I'm thinking different color snacks, candy, decorations. Attacking the theme should be fun for my frugal goal!

[Kate Mayer]

I love Theo's party! Thank you for the inspiration. I am planning a pirate party for my soon to be 4 year old and a truck/construction party for my son who is turning 2 in July.

[Rachael]

Well, I don't really think I can top Lilah's Elvis-themed first birthday party (they share a birthday, so the theme was a gimme), but I have an idea to do an Indoor Beach party for birthday #2. It's the only kind of beach party she'll ever have, being born in January!

[Audrea]

Congrats on the win!!! It was very much deserved :) My daughter's 2nd birthday is in September but I'm a HUGE planner. I have everything ready to go (in my head and in my planner hee hee) for a cowgirl themed birthday party! Can't wait to implement some great ideas I've seen with my own twist!

[Susan]

your party was so completely adorable in every way!!! i just had to come and visit from over at kara's party ideas :)

the next party i'll be throwing - and hopefully it will be a huge success - will be my 10th wedding anniversary party for my husband and me and all of our friends and family. yay! the prize for this wouldn't really apply to that, but we do have three kids (age 9, 3, and 1) who we could surely find something for :)

My son will be turning 7 in August, he is currently BIG into Dinosaurs so a dinosaur party may be thrown.

[ang]

my kids are turning 4 & 2... and I'm throwing a Monsters & Kittens birthday party. It's a game they created... basically they're kittens and the parents are monsters who chase the kittens into their beds. it's tough thinking of a theme that fits both of them (girl & boy exactly 2 years apart), but i thought this one might work!

[Michelle P]

My son is having his first birthday in July and I couldn't be more excited to plan his birthday party! I am going with a Seasame Street theme complete with Elmo cupcakes and "goodie bags" in Oscar the Grouch trash cans!
