My life has been overtaken by all thoughts space. Astronauts, stars, planets, how the devil I am going to create this cake, and what the devil I am going to put into the goodie bags that is spaced themed. I considered putting in these cool tooth flossers that are space themed (thanks to Buzz Lightyear) but well…it’s floss. Dental floss.

“Hi, my mom throws the awesomest parties! You get floss in the goodie bags!”

Anyways, since of course, there are no space invitations at the dollar store, I went to Micheals, got the most awesome stickers that pop out and made my own. Do you want to throw a pirate party this year? Do it. The stores are full of pirate bounty for parties. I begged my son to have a pirate party. Nu-uh. I made the error of letting him go on Betty Crocker with me and he even watched the video on how to make that blasted shuttle.

Har de har har. “blasted” shuttle. I’m funny like that.

So it was handwritten in metallic blue pen, and all sorts of pretty sticker all around. The back had all the deets and I included a google map to the par-tay place.

Then, I covered the envelopes in planet stickers to match. Alright fine, I didn’t. I coerced a girl at work to help me and she did them.Thanks again Melissa, but you were a little sticker shy, you need to learn to be heavy on the planets, babe, you’re partying with the cool kids now.

The cool kids and their clean, flossed teeth.
