Free Printable Summertime is... Raspberries Postcard

Summer Time is... Raspberries - Free Printable Postcard from B.Nute productions
While up in the country last weekend with my daughter, I had the best time roaming around our Bed & Breakfast property taking pictures. At every turn, there were raspberry vines growing in the wild-- so I would snap a few shots, then grab a few raspberries and pop them in my mouth!

There's nothing like fresh raspberries off the vine on a warm summer day! In honor of the raspberry, I made a free printable postcard based on one of my photographs. Be sure to print a few out, and send a quick note to a friend this summer. They will love the sweet thought.

It's a Doll Sized Birthday Celebration! (Including Free Printable Banner and Goodie Bags)

It's a Party for the Dolls! (printable goodie bag from B.Nute productions)
There are some new party stylists in town! My daughter and her friend had fun yesterday putting together a party for the dolls! I created some free printable decorations and they embellished the rest. Here are shots from the party-- along with ideas for your child (and friends) to have throw their own party for their dolls.

Above is a picture of the whole festive affair-- including the free printable banner and goodie bags that match the doll-sized invitations I posted yesterday. My daughter Natalie and her friend Erica set the scene in her bedroom. Of course, the party could be set in any room, or outdoors as well.

The girls made some party hats for the dolls to add to the festivities. They used colorful scrapbook paper and ribbon to tie it on the doll's head. Here's a great blog post on Make it Do with instructions and a template on making your own party hat for a doll.

Mini-Cookies for the Doll Party (photo by B.Nute productions)
A party is not complete without food, right? We made some mini-chocolate chip cookies for the festivities. I spooned out marble-sized dough to make the cookies the right size.

Free Printable Doll Sized Goodie Bags by B.Nute productions
Every party also needs goodie bags for the dolls! These bags (free printable and instructions on how to make below) can be filled with little treasures-- beads, tiny candies, and other fun items for the dolls.

Gifts for the Dolls! (photo by B.Nute productions)
Don't forget the gifts! The girls had fun looking around the house for small boxes to wrap and use as presents. If they had more time, they would have loved to make gifts for the dolls to put inside-- string beads for a doll bracelet, create a mini-birthday card, etc. The possibilities are endless.

So, on one of those days when all you hear is, "I'm bored" or perhaps it's your daughter's actual birthday, and she's looking for something to do, why not suggest putting on a doll party!
