I wanted to come up with an birthday theme that she would love.  Invitations: I went to a scrapbook store and bought cute paper there was a jewelry beauty dress-up candy carice cream hot dog pizzeria cake decorating and craft store. We cleared out our family roomliving room and kitchen.All the store fronts were made out of 2 by fours. Some with fabric some with paper we made the store fronts as realistic as possible. In bolt letters it would say what the store was all about. In the kitchen i had sewed a canopy in brown and pink and hanged it from the ceiling and inside were white lights and baloons in pink and brown. I also made fake money that they could earn by playing different games. Activities:At the jewelry store: they bought with their fake money dress up rings necklacesbracelets crowns anything you could think of.
