Last year on Beatrix Potter's 150th birthday we had an impromptu painting party. It was so much fun that I decided to actually plan one this year! It was so much fun. I think my six wee leetle rabbits enjoyed it very much! I know I did.
I found a few fun ideas on Pinterest. The little cabbages are oreo truffles in ruffled circles of tissue paper. So easy but so cute! The garden boxes are made from wafer cookies & frosting.
I asked the kids to wear an outfit inspired by their favorite Beatrix Potter character.
Joel is Tom Kitten
Annelise is Moffat
{Tom's sister}
Jack is Tommy Brock the Badger
{Note his badger shoes}
James is Mr. Tod the Fox
Abbey is Cottontail
one of Peter's sisters
Wes is a foxy-whiskered-gentleman too
{And at the age where he gets easily embarrassed by Auntie.}
Oh, & I was Beatrix herself, of course.
Painting!
It really was a wonderful party! I'm so glad it worked out. I think we'll do it again next year!
You are amazing! That's all there is to it! What a lovely party!
