My girls are well beyond loot bags, and birthday parties for that matter . They recently informed me that they don't "do" birthday parties anymore. Although I logically knew this to be true (they hadn't gone to a traditional birthday party for a while) I was still a bit sad to realize that this season of parenting has evaporated. They still seem to love the whole gift thing though! My twins will be turning 14 next month, and I have wonderful memories of creating themed birthday parties for them. I really enjoyed preparing for the parties, and would plan elaborate and themed activities for a couple of months before the party. I realize this puts me into a category possibly called " Twin Mom Insanity", but hey, I was happy in that zone!
All that to say, that I must now indulge my birthday party loot bag love by helping other moms create tiny totes to add to their celebrations. Oh, what fun! Recently I was asked to create some pink and purple loot bags and they turned out to be as cute as a bug's ear!

On the cusp of celebrating a couple of 14 year old girls, I am very aware of many changes to come. My dollies will be starting high school next week, and I am very proud to say that I feel they are ready for the responsibilities and adventures they must navigate. Every single birthday marks an opportunity for the girls to gain more independence. It is so much fun to watch as personalities and talents emerge with the passing of time. So, to those moms out there suffering from that very specific condition called, "Birthday Party Stress', I urge you to step back for a minute and revel in all the fun. Before long, you will be reminiscing about the birthday parties. And believe me, you won't remember the stress!
Just a few more pictures of the tiny totes, a bit of eye candy this morning! Enjoy, and have a happy day!
