Is this thing on???? It's been a long time since I've been able to blog. Mostly because of this little guy and life. My life is filled to the brim and I love it. I recently received a comment on my blog that made me want to start this journey again. I may not be able to post many times, but I felt maybe someone out there may be looking for an idea for a Library themed party and I wanted to share Little B's.
This past December Little B turned three. He LOVES to read. I figured I would grow on that and have a library themed party for him. All the decor and food were based off of books. First up the decor :
 |
| I picked plates w A, B, C's on them, a Humpty Dumpty plate, ABC letters, a banner with the word "READ" on it made out of a book. I also used some blocks we had and school look fabric for the food bar |
 |
| He was very, very, excited ! |
 |
| Ordered off of Zazzle and loved how they looked like a vintage library card. I asked everyone to bring a book instead of a card, this way he would keep it forever |
 |
| I used a book from the dollar store to make the runners on each table, pain staking but worth it ! |
 |
| My hutch, I LOVED how it came out. I used old vintage books I had and a new one too. |
And now the food ! Each food item went along with a book. I borrowed some of the books from our local library and some we already had.
 |
| Little mouse and the cupcake : cupcakes/ Mini Moo and the mystery of the missing donuts : donuts / If you give a mouse a cookie : cookies |
 |
| I ordered these edible cupcake stickers from Etsy, they each have a book print on them |
 |
| Stinky Cheese Man : assorted cheese and crackers |
 |
| Secret Pizza Party : pizza rolls / Three Little Pigs : pigs in a blanket |
 |
| Dragons love Tacos : taco salad / Green Eggs and Ham : Quiche Florentine |
|
 |
| Strega Nona : pasta salad / Little Sweet Potato : potato salad |
 |
| Monsters Don't Eat Broccoli : veggie platter |
The cake, well, I thought it would come out better than it did. But I tried ! I ordered a Wilton book cake pan and figured it would work. It came out a bit wonky, but I went with it. What else could I do !!!??? I made a banner from a book and printed "Chapter Three" on it. All in all, Little B loved the cake ! And so did everyone else, at least it tasted good !

| My sad attempt on a cake that looks like a book. |
So that's a wrap. I may write more from time to time. I do have many things to share. Mostly based w little B. Sad but true, he has become my world for the most part =)
