Lindseys 8th birthday

My daughter had a spa themed birthday party this year. she turned 8. We invited about 14 girls from school and girl scouts. I set up a couple different stations for the girls to move through. They got thier nails painted and a back massage at station one, foot soak and toenails painted at station 2, I had a craft table where they were able to color and decorate crowns, they all got to put on a face mask lay down and I put cucumbers on there eyes and they relaxed. They all recieved handmade eye masks, a nail manicure kit, polish, a scented pouch for thier drawers at home, a take home cup of the face mask, thier decorated crown, and the "fancy" glasses we drank from. It was a lot of time management but, in the end all the girls had a blast and I kept it on the cheap end by shopping at the dollar store and clearance bins at Michaels and other local craft stores. I am a scrapbooker so, almost all of the decorations were made by hand and from my stockpile of paper!.
