I finally got the pictures of the Spa-tacular birthday party and just have to share these with you.\u00c2\u00a0 What a fabulous 8th birthday Laurel had!\u00c2\u00a0 Of course, this is<\/em> a sewing blog, but sewing projects played a part in the celebration.<\/p>\n

Like all great events, it took a lot of planning and organization, areas in which my DIL excels.\u00c2\u00a0 Fortunately, within the homeschool community she has a strong network of wonderful friends without whose help the party would have been impossible.<\/p>\n

When the girls arrived, they “signed in,”\u00c2\u00a0 indicated their dinner preferences, picked up their spa wraps and goodie bags.\u00c2\u00a0 For whatever reason, they decided to put their spa wraps on over their clothes, though that unspecified reason did not apply to their dolls.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Still, it was reported that the wraps saved a lot of shirts from being stained by facial mixes.\u00c2\u00a0 The dolls’ clothes were not at risk.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The girls were divided into groups to make it easier to rotate among the stations. Like the foot baths where they soaked their pretty feet and chatted…..<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

or caught up with the doll news in American Girl magazines.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

How cute is this?<\/p><\/div>\n

After their facials, they returned to the foot baths where they rested with cucumbers on their eyes.\u00c2\u00a0 Since this treatment is “to reduce swelling or big, dark circles….or puffiness and tiredness,”\u00c2\u00a0 I have to wonder just how many 5-10 year olds have dark circles, puffiness or tired eyes.\u00c2\u00a0 Do you think the girls looked any prettier after this?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Of course, they had their nails done.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Or in some cases, over done–though certainly not in the big brown eyes of this 5 year old.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After all the primping and pampering, the girls must have felt pretty, like Maria in West Side Story.
