{Free Printable} Thank You Tags

One of my friends have asked me to whip up some "Thank You" tags to attach to some sweets that she was giving out. We put a chocolate chip cookie inside a treat bag and attached the tag with some bakers twine from The Twinery. 
Lucky for you, I made them downloadable for you to have as well!
My way of saying "Thank You" for being patience with me for my lack of post! 
I have left some tags blank so that you can add your own notes! 
you can use these tags on anything, like I have taped this tag on a mini brown kraft bag. You can attach to gifts, cake pops and more!
Enjoy!

Carnival Party

My mom, sister and I co-hosted a carnival party for my nephew's 1st birthday. My nephew and his parents live out of state but they come over here to celebrate since all the guest are from here as well. 
We went with the traditional red and blue colors with hints of yellow 
  
My mom's famous J E L L O! Get the recipe and tutorial HERE!
"Popcorn" cupcakes! These were fun to make! 
Mini water bottles 
Peanuts and caramel apples were the favors  
We "hired" my brother to be the clown (yes...the birthday boy's daddy...hehe)  
Since my brother has no "clown" experience, he just made an appearance and passed out these goody bags to the kids 
We played lots of carnival games like Tic Tac Toe, SkeeBall, Ring Toss, etc. We also had a jumper that the kids loved. We had Bingo for the adults. We borrowed this popcorn machine from a family member.
Can you tell we love photo booths!?! 
I got lucky and got some props at Targets $1 section which was for Circus/Carnival Theme! 
My dad painted this Gypsy. It was hilarous when they boys took pictures with the gypsy!

Happy Birthday Jonah!!!!
