Under Pressure, Birthday approaching!

SO this coming Saturday is Katelynn's birthday party her real birthday is Aug 4th.. We had planned after her birthday party 2 years ago that from that point on we would only do milestone birthdays, you know ages 1, 5, 10, 13, 16......so on. Well I decided Katelynn needed a party this year, not for the fact that she was a specific age, but for the reason that we will most likely be moving to Missouri come this November and Katelynn will not get to have anymore parties with her friends here, or most of my family for that matter for quite some time. A few months ago I came across some really cute invites, flip flops. Katelynn and I decided her party should be a flip flop theme.
So as we are drawing close I sit here tonight really planning all the last minute stuff. We decided to make our own flip flop pinata, well I stayed up late tonight to put it together myself, Miss. Katelynn got tired and retired to bed at about 10pm. Bless her heart.
So you ask what one might need to make a flip flop pinata? Well first and for most you need a creative imagination, as well as some scissors, cardboard, duck tape, glue sticks, pink and purple tissue paper, purple curling ribbon and plenty of good old fashioned patients.

Whaaa-Laa! When you combine all of those things this is what a creative mind can come up with. So the cost, a whopping $4.00 to make. I had everything here, besides the pink and purple tissue paper, and the glue sticks.

I think it turned out quite well. It had plenty of room for candy. I stuffed this puppy with 6 bags of different candy. The candy inside the pinata ended up costing more than the pinata it's self, which was okay, because to buy a flip flop pinata I would have had to drive to Boise, spend $15 dollars in gas, then another $20 on the pinata it's self.

MY CREATIVITY ROCKS!!!
