I confess. I am addicted to Pinterest. It influences me daily. I use it for work, leading customer workshops almost weekly. I use it at home to get organized, to decorate and to plan, well, EVERYTHING! I have decided to share some of my Pinterest inspired projects & parties here with you!

A Minecraft Birthday Party

 My son is a huge fan of Minecraft. So for his Birthday last year, we had a Minecraft birthday party at a campground. I tried using all the printables on Pinterest, but they were not printing correctly. I purchased posterboard with "ghost lines" and made my own labels for snacks...

 
 We used my son's Minecraft swords for additional decorations. We had a lot of pretzels for snacks! The brick ones were labeled, "Trap Door." Veggie Straws were labeled, "Sticks." I used gold covered chocolates as "Gold," I purchased the confetti poppers and labeled them "TNT." Red grapes were labeled, "Redstone." I found some cheap lime green plastic cups at WalMart and I made creeper faces on them with the help of electrical tape and my son,

 The cake was easy! Simple rectangle cake, then I had my son use Hershey candy bar pieces to create another creeper.


 Overall, I would say it was a success! He was a happy boy!

 A big hit was the Steve head he received as a gift...
 They would wear it and then the battles with the swords began!
It was a very memorable, very fun birthday!
