Guess what?? I'm throwing you a party!!!

Did I say Party?  Yep, I sure did!!  You see, I am about to have my 200th blog post, and seeing as how, without you, I wouldn't be here in blogland at all, I thought it important for us to celebrate together....  What do you say??   Saturday June 28th!!  Save the date & make sure to invite all your friends!! ;)  Everyone is welcome! (feel free to use my flyer below on your blog)

        

I know it is summer & we all have different things going on...  So, I was thinking, this will be easy, we would have a giant cakes and dress up, Imaginary Tea Party...  With hats, cakes, crowns, gowns, striped socks, masks, birds, treats galore, old photos, costumes & imagination abound...

      

You can make your own hats & masks, and you can have giveaways on your blog if you'd like.  You can share any fun story, anything you want...  Even share old photos of yourself...  It will be like one big soiree of us all sitting around a "Mad Hatter Tea Party Table" sharing stories...  I am hoping for as much fun as...

          

I will make a list with anyone participating, and link to your blog or website.  You just let me know you are joinging in, and voila, you are on the list for a place for others to visit.  I will make sure to visit all of you!!

The night before the party,  I will make a list of everyone participating (with links), and include it in my blog post for the party...

But, you can also join us if you don't have a blog.  If you don't have a blog, and you want me to share something you made, or a story you want to tell, let me know, and we will include you too!!!

      

I am going to make lots of giveaway goody bags, and there will be lots of fun treats.  I feel like we have sooo many exciting things that go on in the way of parties in fall and spring, and not enough in summer...  So, here is one just for you!!  I hope you can make it! (Yes, that is naughty me below.  This is an idea, of how you can use old photos of yourself for this party)

      

I looove parties!!!  I was searching like a mad woman, for ideas on how to invite you...

      

      

And then I found it!!  It was so simple, leave it to the French!!  Faire une partie, is what I think I am doing?? hee hee...  And hopefully you will,  Aller en soiree?   

      

I will hint that, a doll will even make it's way to a participant.  I should say, one of my doll creations...  That will be one of my items to giveaway!!  I sure hope you can join in!!

Everyone is soooo excited around here, with the party buzz afloat...

      

We are going to have lots of music!!

      

And, we are trying on glitter and jewels...

      

Even those socks we were talking about are making their way...

      

I think I am going to conjure up some reallll good sweets!!  And some lovely treats!! (note the guilty chocolate covered lips)   

      

So, get out your glitter...

      

Or, anything sparkly you might like (I am all into sparkles these days)...

      

Maybe even some doilies???

      

And make something fun for the party, if you'd like!!  I tried to make a mask, but I cut the eye holes too big :))

      

Soooo, that is the news for the day!!

      

Saturday June 28th...  Hope you can make it!!!  As for parties, I am going to be getting ready for one for the nice man around here...  His birthday is Sunday.  Sounds like a goood day for a chocoflan!  ;)

See you very very soon!! xoxo

ps:  You can let me know in comments if you are going to join...  Or you can e-mail me.  Anyway you'd like...
