This is the theme my son picked out for his bday in Feb. I went the day after halloween and got what they had left. I love that you had all the stuffed monsters and snowglobes and candy dishes! Thanks for the great ideas I will be using them!
Down to the last detail everything looks awesome!! I love how you made all of the themed snacks. So cute.
Is there any way I could get a working version of your Dr. Seuss invitation? I am trying to throw together a Dr. Seuss baby shower for my sister in three weeks. Yours are PERFECT! You are so talented!
