This week over at CAGW, I was able to write both of my posts about the pirate party invitations that my girlies and I spent the weekend making:

removing labels and sticky glue from the glass bottles |

burning the edges of the invitations to make them look all roughed up |

and sealing them with crayon wax |
We hand-delivered these, all but one that Matt mailed to little friends who live the next town over. This party theme of Will's is so inspiring, though, that we have a LOT of projects to work on before the big day--prepping a treasure hunt, building a plank to have kids walk, practicing pirate face paint, learning how to twist balloons into pirate swords, buying a watermelon for Matt to carve into a pirate ship, baking a giant brownie cake to paint like a treasure map...
It's going to be a busy week!
