Borders Birthday Parties + a Giveaway!

****UPDATE! How could I just pick ONE winner??! I randomly chose THREE instead! YIPPEE!**** The winners are:


Congratulations Ladies! Please e-mail me and let me know if you would like a 4th
of July posie or one of your favorite colors...
toosillysisters@cox.net

Yesterday I found out that Borders hosts birthday parties- for FREE! They provide a hostess for storytime, some games, a room for your festivities and a discount on party supplies (if you so choose). They will even allow you to bring your own refreshments! Just think of the possibilities! Choose a fun theme (ex. pirates), ask them to read the children a pirate book, play a few pirate games, have a pirate craft and then a pirate cake! YOU will not have to clean up! That's the BEST part!:)

I am having such fun making these posies! Would YOU like one? If so, please leave a comment and I will choose a winner tomorrow!:)

  24. We will have to have one of Noelle's parties here! That is sooo cool!

    I love your posies Mrs. Creative!

    I just wanted to pop over since I got a spare "minute" and say "HI!"
    I think Ronnie has found "Mr. Right" -I'm sad that he is getting shipped off to Iraq on her birthday (Aug. 1st) for his second tour. :(
    He is a wonderful wonderful young man. Our whole family likes him. :) He already feels like part of our family!

    I'm so happy to see you are staying busy and love your new creations Lori! ADORABLE!!!!

    Love and miss you,
    Robin~♥
