this was such a fun party to put together for my 8 year old!
it was a sweet shoppe in the 60s theme,
and all the girls came dressed for the fun.
i was amazed with the costumes and hairstyles of our guests.
the premise of the party was to earn sweet shoppe dollars
that they could spend at the sweet shoppe.
to earn the money they participated in simple activities
that you would do at most parties,
but adding the money factor was cause for great excitement!
the first activity was creating a paper purse
that would hold the money earned.
then it was on to auntie beth at the nail and tattoo shop
to get their nails done and a 'sweet' tattoo applied...
a little music from hairspray and dancing...
then opening gifts.
the girls thought they might have to use their money
for the ice cream shoppe,
but they actually got 'paid' to create and eat ice cream sundaes...
(squeals of joy!)

flavours included mint chip (my girl's favourite),
chocolate, vanilla sprinkles and orange sorbet.
for toppings we had chocolate and strawberry sauce,
smarties, jelly beans, gummies, sprinkles and whipped cream!
finally, they were on to the sweet shoppe to spend their sweet shoppe dollars!
it was so fun to watch them count out their money
and fill their paper purses with goodies to take home.

hearing my girl say it was her best birthday party ever...
was sweet music to my ears!
