Makes it so much easier as the year goes on. I do something similar to your cards, but with bags for the gifts to go in. I just use plain white or brown bags, on which I draw the age of the child, their name, Happy Birthday and a small picture. I then let Little OL colour that in.Ordinarylifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06136274266634314394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8127613511850015325.post-31089492986090498312013-03-11T07:35:49.686+02:002013-03-11T07:35:49.686+02:00I love the gift box ideas....going to have to put ...I love the gift box ideas....going to have to put my arse in gear and get mine startedI Am Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07693103725233470212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8127613511850015325.post-48782784561583425412013-03-10T19:36:00.197+02:002013-03-10T19:36:00.197+02:00Right, I'm so proud of you for dealing with th...Right, I'm so proud of you for dealing with the different parties so nicely. So how did the weekend go? Crazy busy?<br /><br />I read this post on the run yesterday i think and was SUPER inspired this afternoon.<br /><br />I buy all the stuff when I see on special but sometimes they don't quite "go" together, you know? Like I have 10 colouring books, only 2 packs of crayons, etc. so I was ending up sometimes running out and having to get some more stuff anyway.<br /><br />So this afternoon I unpacked ALL the gift stuff and made the present piles. I found two books I forgot to give to my friends' kids last year - I even wrote in them... - and now I have one gift to add to, so I've started making a craft kit to go with that. I have 5 boy presents ready, 2 sets of twins presents and 4 girl presents. I feel awesome!!!!<br /><br />My kids were unleashed on cards, washi, etc. for cards but I LOVE your structured approach a bit more. I must see how I can "start them off" and then let them just colour in or embellish a bit.<br /><br />XXX<br /><br />PS we need to meet at that Irene Market place. Yesterday's plan was fabulous with our friends - we went from 12 - 2, and then over to their place til 5.

Its awesome when they accept that things are as they are.<br /><br />I'm rather envious of how organised you are - I used to be organised when I followed the Flylady system (and keep promising myself I'm going to get my act together) but fell off the wagon some time back.<br /><br />You inspire me.<br /><br />Have loads of fun<br /><br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10435812178629895806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8127613511850015325.post-66535953400261651372013-03-08T17:30:06.960+02:002013-03-08T17:30:06.960+02:00I LOVE photos like the last one - their personalit...I LOVE photos like the last one - their personalities come out and it is just so great :)<br /><br />We actually haven't yet face 2 parties on one day - Kiara doesn't get invite to many but we do the drop and go thing now for the most part :)Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12823765544195567890noreply@blogger.com
