Herbie The Love Bug













Amongst my many creative projects on my to do list, my son's 8th birthday is coming up in July and every year I like to have a theme and this year he wanted to do a Herbie The Love Bug Pizza Party, he's one of the hugest fans of Herbie ever, and Herbie is famous for the number 53 and so we figured 5 + 3 = 8, this would be appropriate for Sydney's 8th birthday, anyhow we've practiced making a Herbie Cake together which turned out awesome, and I just finished up with a doll in the image of Sydney and designed a Herbie T-Shirt with Sydney's Artwork on it and I'm syked about setting it all up on the day, quirky I know but I love dressing up and going all out for his birthday he so enjoys himself and secretly I get to relive my childhood all over again, so keeping the earth in mind our candy gift bags for his guest's are just brown paper lunch bags with his artwork on it and this year I want to put healthy fun snack choices in their sacks rather than an overload on sugary lollies (candy) so if anyone out there have any suggestions let me know. Red, White & Blue is the theme colour and lucky for me July 4th is approaching and so there are heaps of red white and blue stuff and so little flags are great, pencils etc etc. To date I've made Sydney's tshirt and his daddy and I'm gonna make me one however the square tshirt is just not my style so I'm gonna recreate my herbie tshirt to "The Mummy" thats my code name for my boyz so stay tuned with what I come up with it should be interesting.
