Je Sweets

get it?

it is a play on je suis

which is almost the extent of my french language knowledge

almost

as part of my real life

i am on the board of a private high school

which means

i do a bit of donating

this year

the big gala had a

french 

theme

with a french market

 i donated a  little something

for the auction

a Madeline Birthday Party for 8

and

for the french market

i did a sweets table

modeled after

a sweet shoppe

i frequent

in my dreams

you can get the recipe for the 

marshmallows

here

and the 

truffles

here

* hubster made my signage, stickers

and the template for the eiffel  tower

bon bon!

( i have no clue if that is even french, but if i were french, which i am not, i would make it the newest french catch-phrase)

madeline cloak project

i am working on a few things for a school auction

it is that time of year!

in the past i have donated cooking classes and dinner parties

but frankly

i am so busy

and 

coordinating schedules

has become tedious

so this year i switched it up a bit

and i am donating the fixins

for a 

madeline birthday party

i'm not going to lie

i was inspired by a kate landers party

that has been flying around the blogosphere

essentially,

what i am doing 

is providing all the things a

very hip and classy parent

(wink, wink)

would want and need

for their small child's party

and one of those things

actually i made 8 of them

is a madeline cloak

(fully lined, mind you)

i am not a seamstress

so this has been a bit of a challenge

but i have to say

i am 

in love with them

so cute

can't you just imagine

eight little girls

in two straight lines

more to come, i am sure
