Okay I realize this reflects more about me than it does Pinterest but sometimes I just gotta run away from it. As in fleeing frantically like Joseph did when he was being seduced by a married woman who thought he was a hottie. This is what I have to do when Pinterest breaths down my neck with party ideas. I already love to throw a FUN party and go over board on themes but then you throw Pinterest into the mix and it just gets even more whacked than it already was. Hello, my name is Melody and I’m in Pinterest recovery.
Ya know, at first the birthday party was just going to involve painting hot air balloons because the American Girl doll, Saige, loved art and there was a hot air balloon in the movie. But when I start looking at Pinterest I realize this isn’t good enough. The girls must have a real ride in a hot air balloon. And how boring to just go up and down with a tied off rope. We need to explore our town from above in full freedom and so we’ll need to find a licensed hot air balloonist to take the party crew. They will also need to eat perfectly cut out hot air balloon cookies while getting an ariel view of the town. And when they come back down to earth they most definitely should part with a goody bag of true artist supplies equipping them for art 101.
Of course just thinking about all that overwhelms me not to mention would deplete the budget for the next three months. So in the end I decide to close out of Pinterest and run up to Party City to purchase pin the tale on the donkey, grab chairs from church for musical chairs and shocker……have a good ole fashion birthday party with lots of fun in 2013!
