My son Kaden absolutely loves ROCKS. Ever since he was tiny he loved reading books about rocks, watching shows about rocks, and listening to his Grandma talk about rocks (my mom is a geologist). In preschool he even told his class he was going to be a paleontologist + geologist when he grew up :]. So for his 7th birthday party he wanted a... GEOLOGIST + GEOLOGY + ROCK THEMED BIRTHDAY PARTY! I have definitely never styled a party quite like this, but had so much fun and am happy with how everything turned out!

The quest for the One Ring began on weekend in January at the house of a certain Hobbit. Decorated with giant Ents (paper trees) and a decal of a Middle Earth fellowship, the meal was a feast fit for a Dwarven King and Hobbit eleventy-first birthday party alike: Hobbit foods tend to be luxurious and abundant. We had a hoard of creatures coming over that ate even more than Hobbits; Teenagers! In preparation, we had treats from all over the Middle Earth. I have never bought into the idea that beautiful parties have to have a table covered with nothing but sweets. This meal spread was set out to please the eye but also to give the group of boys I had coming over something other than a sugar coma. We had lots of real food, (it definitely helped that Hobbit's only tolerate the very best food and drink!) and a few themed treats. And that's the way I like it. (I'll step off my soapbox now.) Menu: Egges (boiled eggs) 'Lifted' Carrots (carrots & ranch) Frodo's Fingers (pigs in a blanket) Gollum's Goodies (Swedish fish and gummy worms) HoneyCakes (mini coffee cakes) Bilbo's Berry Pies (mini pies) Lembas Bread (rice crispy treats in paper leaves) Sam's Po-Tay-To soup (potato soup) Grapes Cheese platter French bread "Lembas Bread! One bite is enough to fill the stomach of a grown man." -Legolas In the end, they were fed and ready to head into Middle Earth to find the One Ring. The activities were all in scavenger hunt style while searching for the next clue to defeat the hoard of orcs. The first set of trials were a walk through the dead marshes. They had to go through an obstacle course, and anyone who fell off of the obstacles they were grabbed by the dead. They had to start back at the beginning. "Careful now! Or Hobbits go down to join the Dead Ones, and light little candles of their own." - Golum The next part of the scavenger hunt was going through the tunnel to find a spiders egg. "It's the only way! Go in... or go back." - Golum The eggs were wrapped with several layers of clear packing tape and webbing and cotton batting. They had to break through all that to get to the egg (a extra large plastic egg) that had one of two things in it. Three eggs were filled with the light of Earendil, the elves favorite star, to help them get through the rest of the hunt: "I give you the light of Earendil, our most beloved star. May it give you light, when all other lights go out." - Galadril One egg was filled with baby spiders. Whoever ended up getting the spiders egg with the babies in it got wrapped up in 'webbing' by their fellowship... The next task in the scavenger hunt was to shoot the army of orcs that were about the cross the field of battle. As the kids lined up to shoot the arrows, some of the kids had never shot a bow before. So they got a mini lesson in archery as a party bonus! Then it was time to come back inside for the birthday-ing things. Like cake! The cake was a tribute to the hoard of gold that was held by Smaug, The Terrible. I tried to get the cake as close as I could to the style of this cover of The Hobbit. I took gold sequin candies and candy rocks and sugar gems to make the pile of riches at Smaug's feet. Little known secret about me: I don't like cake. So I do not bake cakes. This cake was two purchased cakes stacked on top of each other with some extra frosting, and then I decorated it. This trick saves me TONS of time! If there is a special request for a particular cake, sometimes I will bake it (like the rainbow cake for my daughter's rainbow party) but for the most part, this trick is my go-to for party cakes now. It's a big splash of party style that I don't have to work very hard for, and I'll take all the tricks for that I can get!

Today I wanted to share a really simple geometric pinata for party decor. Pinata making was something I was wanting to experiment with, but lots of the DIY's I found either involved paper mache - which I didn't want to do, or were complicated shapes for a beginner like moi. A diamond shape sounded like a good place to start because I could add other geometric shapes and sizes to it if I wanted to cluster them together. Gather all your supplies first. I used a sheet of copy paper to make my template. At the top of the paper, I measured to the center of the sheet (portrait orientation), then drew a line from that point to the bottom two corners. I cut off the sides and was left with the center triangle. I wanted to do four sides so I traced my pattern onto the cardboard four times. Then I cut a 4" x 4" square out of the cardboard and punched two side-by-side holes in the center. This piece was my top. Then I cut four pieces that were trapezoid shaped, 4" on one side and 8-1/2" on the other side. These pieces would sit on top of the 4 triangles. Tape together the four triangles so they layout in a curved line. (I used green tape simply so that you could see it easily in this post.) Tape a trapezoid to each triangle. Now you're ready to connect the two ends of the diamond. Your tape is going to move a bit - just make sure you press it all back down. Leave the top off for right now. Next you start cutting strips of tissue paper. I cut about 5 strips out of a sheet, cutting length-wise. Then I created the fringe by cutting slits into the strips about 3/4" wide. This part doesn't have to be perfect. Working from the bottom to the top, start gluing the strips to the cardboard. The bottom point was a little tricky but I promise it turns out fine. Keep your strips of paper very close together. Since I used only one color, I was able to keep my strips long which wrap around the bottom portion of the diamond several times. This helps to hold your pinata together as well. If you wanted to add a stripe or a chevron pattern, you would just need to cut your strips into smaller sizes. It takes a little more math but I think it would be worth the extra time to create a really fun pattern. Cover the top piece with a few strips of tissue paper. If you are filling your pinata, now is the time to do it. Now add some glue around all four sides of the top and press it into place. Cut your ribbon to length and tie it onto the rubber band. You're all done. I want to make a few more of these in different colors and sizes to cluster together. I think they would make a gorgeous dance floor center piece for a wedding. What shape should I try next? What color pinata would you make if you were making one?
