Princess Castle Photo Booth

With both daughters having birthdays in March it thought a Princess Theme would be great.

 Then my aging grey cells got a churning and I came up with making a Princess Castle out of...guess what.... Cardboard Moving Boxes, Poster board, Craft Paper, glue and the good old duck tape.

Start with a LARGE moving box

Cut in half

Then using Poster Board I strengthened the inside before sticking both halves of the moving box back together.

I used a Medium Moving box, cut into 4 and made a tower shape.

I used more poster board on the backside for stability.

Using one poster board make a fancy top. for the main castle

And a simple triangle for the Tower roof.

Duck Tape works wonders, don't you agree :)

I cut out a heart window

Made some simple cardboard stands from the cut off cardboard.

Glue the front

Cover with craft paper - trim all the edges

Let it dry over night.

Then came painting day.

The girls, had to help, it was for their birthday party after all!

And the final product!

I painted it to look like a castle, added glitter

 (which I'm still finding in the nook and cranny's of our home)

I glued on green leaves, flowers and butterflies I picked up from the dollar store

Then from Michael's I picked up clip on Butterflies to add the final touch.

Trick or Treat - Fall Festival 2013

Seren was our little Bumble Bee.

Carys a cute Ladybug.

As per usual...
Seren didn't want her picture taken, and we were lucky to get one picture with her flower headband on and Carys kept her hat on for 10 minutes, enabling me to get a couple pictures, then for the rest of the evening wouldn't keep her hat on.

Our Darling Little Tinkers.

The girls loved seeing all the other kids dressed up and Carys was the only one who wanted her picture taken at the picture point.

What do you think of the picture point...not bad?

Well that is one of my creations. I was asked by my friend, Jessica to help to make a good picture point. She is a new friend I have come to know since moving here to Madison, she & her Hubby came from Utah, too ! You can follow her blog HERE.
 So I put my brain into go mode and got to work.

Its amazing what you can do with, fallen branches, black trash bags, duck tape, pillow case, batting , fabric, cobwebs, bats, lights, rocking chair and imagination.

Oh...I also won Best Soup! Yeah me
( I will make a post how to make my soup soon)
