Peanuts birthday is December 21st, we have celebrated it with her friends in June from the very beginning. Two birthdays? No, her friend party is just 6 months late.
This year she chose to do the rope course at the Museum of Science and Industry. She had a class field trip there and we had family night there a couple of weeks ago {that is deserving of its own post} and she is hooked. I think she's an adrenaline junkie like her Daddy! This course is fun, I have tried it and will try again tomorrow, but intimidating. You are harnessed in while climbing a steal structure for "fun". You cannot fall off but you can dangle while trying to get back onto whatever course you were currently on. I awkwardly laughed, loudly, the entire time I walked the balance beam that hovered 15' about ground while Peanut scaled to the top and was doing a swinging rope walk 36' above me!
I still have 6 girls that haven't RSVP'd, I swear some people are so rude, but as of right now I'll be making the trip with 3 other brave drivers with 21 girls tomorrow afternoon. After tempting the fates for 2 hours on the rope course we are returning home for pizza and swimming. Wish me luck and pray that the sun stays out, or at least the lightning, and that I don't loose my sanity in the process of celebrating Peanuts 12 and half birthday!
I hand made her invitations, all 25 of them. I may be crazy but I love, love, love doing this!
I chose a few of my favorite pictures from her photo shoot and made a collage, all of the pictures are clear I promise, and attached it to the front of yardstick that I made into a tri-fold card.
On the inside I printed the basic party info and attached in the center. On either side I made pockets and inserted more detailed information and the release needed for each participant.
I think they turned out adorable. What do you think?

Those are adorable invitations! I love the creativity. You handmade all of them? You rock!!
That sounds like such a fun half birthday celebration. I love that you do that for her. December birthdays have it rough but you make it fun!
Happy half birthday Peanut!
wow way to go mom and yep a total adrenaline junkie but hey to me it actually sounds fun. give Peanut a hug for me and tell her Happy Birthday or better yet tell he stand outside and i'll yell it from Gator country.
Those invites rock!
And. You said dangle.
This place sounds awesome and holy crap 21 girls. Yikes... LOL :). My step-daughter's birthday is the 2nd of January and I've tried to convince her to celebrate it in the summer.... remember I've only been around 3 years but you'd have thought I killed her puppy or something.
That's a creative way to get around the jipping that December birthdays get.
Those invitations are fantastic!Beautiful photo's.
Have a wonderful time tomorrow, happy half birthday to peanut :)
Very cute and what a great idea to celebrate Peanut away from the hustle and bustle of the holidays!
You blow my mind with your creative brain. I'm so jealous! Love the invites! I'm just sad I didn't get invited. I wonder if they let pregnant bitches do the obstacle courses? But pizza and pool time sounds good.
Make those 6 non-RSVPers feel bad by texting/calling to find out if they're attending.
Those are awesome invites- I hope the party is great!!!!
These are fabulous cards! You are so talented. (And good grief, that girl is GORGEOUS!) I would NOT like the heights involved with the rope course and would have to wait below, breathing into a paper bag until she was safely back on the ground.
(people who don't RSVP are a pet peeve of mine too.)
