Good morning, I hope you are all warm and well this chilly Wednesday.  I’m just taking a break from the Advent Calendar this morning to share some party inspiration with you, but don’t worry I have a gorgeous giveaway for you later today that will make any mummy’s LBD have that extra stylish sparkle. 

Todays party inspiration started about two months ago when one of my daughters started talking about her birthday, which is infact not until 20th December.  Last year she was thrilled that there was plenty of snow and she and her friends and brothers and sisters all had a huge snowball fight.  So her idea for this year is for a snowball and hot chocolate party.  Most days after school my three daughters enjoy a hot chocolate topped with marshmallows.  I know it’s a little indulgent but it’s cold outside!  With thoughts of snow and hot chocolate I was thrilled when I saw the Snowman Soup theme from Paper & Pigtails.  This started my ideas rolling and soon Amber and I had lots of ideas for her party. 

Obviously we couldn’t rely on good old British weather to deliver snow so I had to think of some alternative ideas.  Perhaps we could have indoor snowball fights with rolled up white socks or cotton wool, but the Christmas tree would be up and the house decorated with our festive treasures so maybe this was not one of my better ideas!

When Amber was younger she had a snowman party for her birthday, hard to avoid wintry themes when your birthday is in December.  Back then her party guests were happy with white chalks and large sheets of sugar paper to draw snowmen and also content ot make cotton wool snowmen masks.  As Amber will soon be nine I realised I would have to be slightly more creative.
