The sponge was provided, along with several kinds of icing, whipped cream and such, fruits and jam and sweets. The concoction we dreamed up would probably not appeal to me now, but we loved it!lattermildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09359479737685239758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29484647.post-69159681947122583462008-11-26T22:20:00.000-06:002008-11-26T22:20:00.000-06:00A slumber party how fun!

I haven't thrown a slumber party recently but remember the ones I attended when I was growing up. The best activity was at a Girl Scout overnight. We did a cooking theme and made Taffy. We pulled taffy in pairs and it was loads of fun. Of course the grown-ups did the cleaning up so not sure how messy a project it was. We also made popcorn some regular and some caramel, Rice Krispie treats, watched a movie (I second the recommendation for Tinkerbelle my soon to be 7 yr old loved it) and after we were supposed to be sleeping we got out of bed and did some scary stories (don't recommend that since a few of us could not sleep after, we were so scared.) Another fun cooking activity might be to do the little cupcake or cake bites that Bakerella makes.<BR/>http://bakerella.blogspot.com<BR/>She has plenty of different themes on her site or you could just use the recipe and make your own design. I bet the girls would love coloring the candy coating and making such cute treats. Since it is in December you could make Santa Hats or Christmas Trees. She has a Hershey's Kisses tutorial that is the perfect shape for those designs. Or maybe a Fairy Face to go with the Tinkerbelle movie. They are full of sugar and not healthy at all but they are too cute to pass up making them at least once for something special. She also has a few different mini treats recipes on her blog. Anything mini is perfect for 7 yr old girls in the kitchen imo. Can't wait to see what you end up doing. Have fun!!CarlaChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18340363809088385570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29484647.post-43245963558523327602008-11-26T11:29:00.000-06:002008-11-26T11:29:00.000-06:00How fun!

My daughter is 8yr old (she had a Wii game party night) and she and her friends can not get enough sewing/crafting time in when they come to play. There are so many quick/easy projects they could do. Can be something easy like painting ornaments or embellishing a simple tote bag. Or decorating sugar cookies or cupcakes would be fun. I love all the happy birthday garland that is made with fabric in the penant shape. Good luck & have fun! Your give away is awesome!

Have you ever been to Artful Designs pottery studio or one of the other pottery places around here? They are so much fun! I was there Friday and there were so many kids in there....they even have a back room you can reserve for private parties. The possibilities there are endless too...dishes, figurines, holiday items, etc! If your daughter likes to paint/be creative (how could she not be with a mama like you!) this would be a great idea for a party! PS they let you take in snacks and drinks too!<BR/>Heather ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29484647.post-76350581287584624742008-11-23T17:53:00.000-06:002008-11-23T17:53:00.000-06:00Hi PattyHow about going to a movie premiere as the...Hi Patty<BR/><BR/>How about going to a movie premiere as the theme? Your daughter picks the movie and the invites are gala tickets. When your daughters friends arrive they check in at the "hotel" and get all dolled up at the "salon". You can take before and after shots. We made candy jewellery at one of my daughter's parties and that was a fun craft for them to do. We strung life savers and mini marshmallows and cut up licorice on thin strings of licorice. I made little bags that the girls decorated with glitter and fabric and fabric markers. We had fancy rolled sandwiches and finger foods on trays for dinner and you could use plastic champagne glasses for the punch I made cut up cakes for the birthdays but you can also buy cakes that would fit your movie theme The girls will have fun cuddling up to watch the movie complete with popcorn. For goodie bags I filled the bags the girls had decorated with little sample sized beauty products, their candy creations and photos made up into autograph books which you can give out after breakfast The girls got a kick out of the juice and milk in the plastic champagne glasses <BR/><BR/>I think your daughter will have a lot of fun and you can give more individual attention to her guests. She will have some ideas too and really feel good about being part of making the choices and getting things ready for the party.<BR/><BR/>It will be a great celebration whatever you decidekarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16734616753802571500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29484647.post-88878361047428579252008-11-22T12:22:00.000-06:002008-11-22T12:22:00.000-06:00Thanks for all the great ideas, everyone!

It was so fun and they talked about it all week at school and made such a drama about it (as little girls do!!) but they all came so relaxed in their casual clothes that they had a blast! You could incorporate a viewing of High School Musical into the party and if you do please contact me as I have some gorgeous HSM Three bottlecap necklets, all beaded beautifully that I would love to give you for each one of Sophie's guests (as a party gift), as I said they are beautifully made and I can ship them overnight to you (at my expense) - if you would like them!! Just want to give a little back - got my Andalucia Trim and am just over the moon with it - thank you soooo much Patty for designing such a lovely trim - it is so bee-uuuu-deee-fuuulll! (fabric on it's way too! woohoo!)<BR/>Anyway, let me know!, good luck with the party Patty - Hugs from JenJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15838825956218018032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29484647.post-59332505503183014882008-11-19T23:45:00.000-06:002008-11-19T23:45:00.000-06:00I don't know if anyone said this yet, but I was th...I don't know if anyone said this yet, but I was thinking that since her party is in December, it might be fun for the girls to make gingerbread houses. It's so fun decorating and they're at a great age for it. Or, you could put a twist on it somehow. Maybe they could just decorate gingerbread girl cookies to look like themselves. <BR/><BR/>Also, I heard of a good idea one time. If you want to give her money (towards the DS or something) you could just put a single dollar bill inside however many balloons you want to fill and she has to pop all of them to get the money out. Kind of exciting - especially for 7 year old girls!Gigi's Thimblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02104714701161170769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29484647.post-51987690452023119682008-11-19T14:25:00.000-06:002008-11-19T14:25:00.000-06:00doing something along the lines of "doing hair, ma...doing something along the lines of "doing hair, make-up, nails" would be fun...as well as a "crafting" time...maybe you could help them hand sew something...or create a scrapbook page or something to that effect.<BR/>have fun!emily andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11109400321082241146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29484647.post-43824002619095262862008-11-19T13:31:00.000-06:002008-11-19T13:31:00.000-06:00I found this fun party idea...It's Time for Tea!

So maybe if your daughter has a favorite animal, you could make that the theme of the party. You could make cat or dog "chow", i.e. chex mix, a theme-y cake or cupcakes and other snacks like that. Many disney movies have an animal as the main character, too, so that could work into the slumber party itinerary.

The girls coming to your house can make little tee shirts that say "Camp Sophie" on them. You can have one room that can be the "campground" with a tissue paper fire in the middle of the room and cover the floor in couch pillows and let the girls sleep in there (like one big pillow bed). If the girls already have a play tent, pitch that in there too, they would have so much fun. For dessert they can have "microwave" s'mores. I think by visiting AC Moore and making all the decor yourself it will save you tons!(Check out video here::http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyzLe6Ju2eg) I hope this helps....I'm sure it will be a great sleepover!My Dream Ringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18011021056558915636noreply@blogger.com
