Try Viviana from Gift of Art.  She painted faces at the Washington County Historical Society’s Ice Cream Social last month and did a great job.  I also like her because she reads All Sides of Life (but I would recommend her even if she didn’t!)

Viviana can be reached by email or phone 479.426.1700.  Contact her for a price quote.

Chuck’s Cake Shoppe in Fayetteville

March 2, 2007 | 5 Comments

Choosing the birthday cake is one of my favorite parts of planning birthday parties.  I know that many people would never consider anything less than homemade.  I, on the other hand, am a sucker for the bakery-made cakes. 

There is an ongoing debate in Fayetteville over who makes the best cakes — Chuck’s Cake Shoppe or Rick’s Bakery.  Both bakeries have been around for years, and are located on College Avenue.  They both make great cakes, and I would not hesitate to recommend either one. 

Any other great birthday cake bakers in Northwest Arkansas?  Recommend them in the comments.

No Sew Tutu

February 20, 2007 | Leave a Comment

I think this no sew tutu is just adorable, and looks so easy to make.  You basically knot strips of tulle around an elastic band.  All you need is tulle, an elastic band, and scissors.  This would be perfect favor for a princess birthday party or Halloween costume.  Thanks, Kiddley!

The Bead Queens Bring the Beading Party to You

February 14, 2007 | 2 Comments

Did you know that Northwest Arkansas has its very own pair of Bead Queens?  They bring the beads to you for a jewelry making party.  Beading is great for birthday parties, of course, but what about church or scout groups, or maybe a girl’s night in?  The prices range from $8-$10 per child, depending upon age, and the adult parties are priced based upon the jewelry the guest chooses to make.

Different Strokes: Paint Your Own Pottery in Fayetteville

February 6, 2007 | Leave a Comment

The Nelson Family Blog has a recent post on Different Strokes, the paint your own pottery place in Fayetteville that has recently opened in Nelson’s Crossing (Joyce St. and College Ave., behind Starbucks).  I agree that Different Strokes is a great place for an outing with little ones, and the resulting creations are always adorable.  Different Strokes is also a great birthday party venue.
