Eight is great!

Eight is a great age to be! So let's celebrate with an artist-themed party, shall we?

Cupcake painters palettes for the kids party.

A whole cake palette for the relatives the next day.

I guess I didn't learn my lesson about rainbow frosting from last year's mess, because oops, I did it again.

Here is the birthday girl and her sister in the calm before the guests arrive.

Supplies for our crayon melting project.

All it takes is a canvas,

a pack of crayons,

a hot glue gun,

and a hair dryer.

Pretty impressive. And oh-so-simple.

Who doesn't love a fruit kabob?!

Remember all those spray painted frames? They made a silly time of group photos.

All in all - a great time for being eight!
