I didn't know how hard it could be getting an internet connection while traveling.... well, maybe "hard" isn't the right word.... how about impossible!! My vacation quickly turned into a daily fiasco of phone calls to internet providers, phone calls to the owners of the condo, going from one room to the next trying to find the single, tiny signal that might actually connect me for 5 whole minutes before it, too, disappeared. And then there was the hotel lobby.... 3 buildings away.... the car rides to local cafes and all the rest just trying to get files to customers. It was a little nightmarish and I think my husband was ready to chunk my computer into that deep, blue ocean. So blogging definitely had to go for a while, but I'm happy to say that I'm home safe and sound and thankfully connected once again to the blogosphere!
Today I wanted to share a cute firetruck party one of my customer's put together for her son, Cole, using the Shindig Parties TO GO Firetruck party printables. Amanda did a fabulous job decorating the house and the dessert table, too. Just take a look:
I love how Amanda used streamers as a backdrop -
a simple and inexpensive way to add flair and color to any party.
For her cupcake stand, Amanda covered rectangular boxes with wrapping paper and added a little ribbon, too. Then she used the polka dot cupcake wraps and cute personalized cupcake toppers as a focal point of the dessert table.
Amanda used the different papers that come with the Firetruck party printables collection to wrap candy jars and add pops of color to the table.
Don't you love the old firetruck that Amanda used as a prop on Cole's dessert table?
And the Dalmation adds a cute touch, too.
Adorable fire hydrant cup favors with personalized tags are the perfect take home treat for the kids.
Cole is one lucky boy - mom even got Elmo to come by to say "Happy Birthday!" Thanks so much, Amanda, for sharing Cole's party with us!
Be sure to check out all of the FIRETRUCK PRINTABLES in my shop. From invitations and thank you notes to everything you'll need to decorate the house and party table, printables are a simple and affordable way to throw a stress-free, personalized party for your little one.
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday yesterday! God Bless our troops!
