i have been so busy with Christmas stuff I never got a chance to post about my daughters birthday party Michael's.
First many of you may remember I'm not always a big fan of the store. However ours in under new mangement and I can't say enough about the postive changes I have seen in the place. So I decided to give the party idea a shot. My DD just turned 4 and it was more suitable for her, her friends age then a paint your own pottery place. Plus the price ws better. When I meet with the ladies and was shown the idea book I was not really sold on any ideas. I wanted a cute easy Christmas craft. So the birthday party org. came up with her own idea of Christmas bags. I gave her a $6 figure to work with. Each child got a red or green bag, sponged painted it with holiday shapes and then got to add big glitter rinestones. Perfect of 4 year olds. They all loved it!!
I was able to order pizza and bring in food and cake. We had time for one game of Care Bear Bingo that I made and brought in and then cake presents and goodie bags. Fun, easy, and a great price. Best of all I did not have to clean up at all!
There is a limit to how many people can attend because of the size of the room. However one child did not show up and she did not charge me for her.
Overall I was very happy with this idea.
