I also have plans to offer a new service with my business that will include photographing kids' parties! Stay tuned for more on that later this spring.

But when planning anything crafty, my first go-to source is of course Martha herself. (I love referring to her on a first name basis as if she's an ole' pal of mine). But for this series, I have sought inspiration from both MarthaStewart.com and Better Homes and Gardens. Great resources for anything crafty!

Here's the first party theme idea that I completely fell in love with. I am a big fan of bandanas. I just love the variety of colors, the designs, the versatility... all of it. I'm actually in the process of making a bandana quilt/throw. Granted, it's a very long work in progress but I love how it's turning out. I had purchased a bunch of bandanas from eBay in bulk a few years back and have been slowly piecing them together to make what I hope to be a very cozy and funky blanket for snuggling on the couch.

So, here's Martha's take on using bandanas for a birthday party. This is definitely a big contender for Harrison's party. We'll see!

More ideas and a quick video on this party theme, here.
