And so the prepping has started...A superhero is born

This past week my mom and sister came over to help with some of Eli's decoration and such for his birthday party. I'm getting so excited for it. I can't believe how much time goes into these kind of things. They were here for almost two full days and it seems like only a few hrs work went into it. But so far, we have made the adorable masks and almost done with the drink wear. I guess a lot of the work is due to cutting. All we did was cut, cut and more cutting. Tomorrow I'm gonna start on his name center pieces.

So we found a basic template for a mask, but I was just not into it. So my wonderful, crafty madre made one of her own.

We used foam material bought at joann's which I loved.

My mom just traced it out on the foam material and then cut it using a craft knife.

I bought a more expensive type for this due to the foam, I didn't want it to have jagged edges.

We made sure to add some for the lil' lady superheros:)

How cute did these come out?! 

Adult and children size.

I'm thinking of uploading the templates my madre made for others to use.

I started on the drink ware for the party.

I got some cute straws from http://www.etsy.com/transaction/68411227

And then just used glue dots to hold the POP together that I got from http://www.etsy.com/transaction/68411088

I bought these adorable cups from Amazon. And I'm still in the process of spray painting the tops blue, red and yellow to match. I can't wait to post the final look on how the cups will turn out.

We also started cutting out the cute lil' outfits for our suckers.
