I'm SO excited!!! Craft Warehouse is open again. It was open years ago about 15 minutes from me and then sadly it closed. It's back and now only 1 mile away! I have a feeling the clerks are going to know me by name. It will be like Cheers, when I walk into Craft Warehouse all the employee's will say, TIFFANY. I absolutely love this store. Craft Warehouse has items you can't find anywhere else. Shall we take a look?
You bet it's a PARTY! I was squealing with happiness down every aisle I walked. I was almost doing the happy dance, seriously. I'm already wanting to incorporate these marquee PARTY letters into a party.
Beach aisle. Walking down this aisle I started planning another party on the beach. I had such fun with the Go Fly a Kite party.
One thing I love about Craft Warehouse is the displays. So full of inspiration and colour. I have just the party in mind for some of the items in this display.
4th of July inspiration. Each aisle is broken down into occasions which makes shopping very easy. Inspirational projects are found throughout all the aisles with all the products you need to re-create them near by.
EEEeeeeeeee!!! paper mache letters in so many sizes. LARGE to small. So much creativity is going to start happening. Not only are these letters great for parties but they're good for home decor too.
Garden and mini items aisle. I see fairy, woodland and garden parties down this aisle.
Woodland aisle. The closest I've come to a woodland party so far is the Irish Elk one I did in Montana. This aisle has my brain creating a woodland themed party.
Scrap booking aisle. So many wonderful choices. These aisles have me wanting to create my own cards again.
Summer aisle. You can't help but smile when you come to this aisle. Look at those colours!
If you live in the Portland metro area and love to craft, you really need to check out Craft Warehouse in Beaverton. I'm sure you'll see me there when you go ;)
This year I'm not hosting a big Halloween party. Although I would LOVE too, I'm trying something new this year. Mini Halloween parties!
With mini parties I can send more unique invitations. I went to Michaels and Joann's and picked up my supplies. Cob web paper, spider ribbon, plain brown jewelry box, spider stickers and glittery spiders.
I attached double stick tape to the outside of the jewelry box and wrapped it in cob web paper.
On the inside I placed cob webs that I already owned on the bottom half of the box and placed the glittery spider on top. I was going to buy spiders and glitter them up myself but it was cheaper to buy them pre-glittered.
On the top half of the box I put the party information. My friends have been to my house a lot so no need for an address. This is what happens when you're the party diva of your friends, they all know how to get to your house really well.
Once the inside of the invitation was complete I attached the spider ribbon using double stick tape and finished it off with a spider sticker. I hand delivered 2 of them and the other 2 I mailed. I just popped them into a manila mailer and they arrived just fine. They didn't even get squished.
My friends LOVED the invitations! and it gives them a hint as to what the theme of the party will be.
