text: I hope you enjoyed my Monster Birthday Bash as much as we did, it was so much fun putting everything together (rushed or not!). For more information on everything I just shared and more how-tos, visit my blog, A Peek Into 31 Otter Court. My day job is the Marketing and Merchandising Manager here at Pear Tree, but in my free time I truly love putting together events like this, helping friends with their weddings, parties, showers, etc., as well as dabbling in a little photography and, of course, spending as much time with my boys as I can! I am hosting a baby shower in April and can-not-wait to get started! Well, who am I kidding, I’ll shoot for Thursday night before the shower, instead of Friday. 🙂
  I absolutely loved reading this blog, I saw your pictures in an email I received from ‘Pear Tree Greetings.’ The party you put together for your two adorable children looked amazing and by the looks of all those smiles, was a lot of fun too! My sister who has two children puts together the most amazing parties for her children so I’ll have to send her this link, I’m sure she’ll enjoy it. Wishing you and your family all the love and happiness!
  OMG, that is so awesome! I hope I can come with something super cool like you when my son gets older. He’s only 15 months; so, it’s long way from now.
  Thank you! I am positive you can come up with something great for your son’s birthday party. I would just suggest starting sooner than the night before the party. Thanks again for your comment!
  Wow! This puts my monster to shame! I think my boys are the same age as yours and we did a joint party as well (great minds think alike!) I wish I had known about Pear Tree’s monster party invites before I DIY’d mine. They were such a disaster and I absolutely LOVE the design from Pear Tree. I would love for you to stop by and check out my monster party if your interested. http://www.repeatcrafterme.com/2012/03/monster-party.html
  Sarah, your party was amazing! You did such a great job on all of the details, love the monster shirts and hats! Thanks for sharing your party with us!
  So freaking cute! I may plan a monster theme birthday party for my mom next week! We love sewing little felt monsters!
  This is just adorable. The way to make a birthday party perfect for children is to cater to their specific likes and dreams! So a fairy theme or princess theme is great for the little girl that loves those things. Once you find the right theme, the next step is decor and games! This is a perfect example of that.
  
  The Really Useful Show was a BBC1 Daytime magazine show, which tended to concentrate on consumer items. It began in 1996, and was presented by a repertory company including: Chris Choi, Kaye Adams and Cheryl Baker. The series editor was Huw Marks. The Really Useful Week was a spin-off to the main series. The Really Useful Week with this specific title card, was a week long initiative to encourage volunteering. It was transmitted in Feb 98 and won the Royal Television Society Community Programming Award. It featured the usual presenting team going to charities and services that required help and taking calls in the Hub from viewers to match the jobs.
  Thanks to Ian Collins for making this grab available, and to Caroline Jones for providing the information.
