celebrations, crafts, kids seven years...
March 1, 2009 at 8:48 PM of sheer awesome-ness. 
my oldest babe turned seven this past week. after consulting with my dear mccabe we set out with a plan, we would make sweet simplified fairy jars for seven little 7 year old girls. 
and while i am, myself, an artist... i do not like to do art with my children, it's just so messy and stressful (my problem). but seven years old is the perfect age to start this type of project. as soon as i explained what we were doing they quietly and methodically began the zen process of channeling the fairy jar.

materials list: jars, metallic or sparkle paint, fairy stickers, craft paper for notes to our fairy, silk flowers, letter stickers, and loads of glitter. more pics here.

What a great idea! I might have to steal that one in a couple of years.
Looks like you threw a great party! Tell E happy birthday from me!
Seven 7 year olds eh? Those jars look like the perfect project for such a group. Mya is hinting that she wants to have a "science art party"...at least I have until July to make it happen :)
What a fun birthday party!
I love to be crafty, but I need inspiration! These are amazing and I bet the girls loved them!
What a fabulous idea! I'm glad it turned out well. I don't like to do crafty stuff with my kids, either, my house is messy enough!
Happy Birthday to your sweet little girl! Seven is a fun age. :)
You seem so fairy-like to me that this sounds so right!
Happy birthday, mama. And baby.
