It's a Puppy Paw-ty!

One of my Aunts is involved in a foster program for Italian Greyhounds (IGs or Iggys). Back in January she started fostering a female IG named Chloe and then had what they call a foster failure. She fell in love with Chloe and decided to adopt her! Once everything was official, she wanted to have a welcome home/get to know you party. She had met a few other foster people from the group before, but was interested in meeting more and actually being able to have a conversation with them. Opposed to everyone being at a dinner and only being able to talk to the people right next to you.

Here's where I come in... After the baby shower I threw a month ago, she enlisted my help with this party. She had requested brownie pops, a banner and a diaper cake made of puppy pee pee pads...ha ha. After discussing a few things, I was also in charge of making dog treats (like I did for Christmas 2 years ago) and the invitation. Here's how everything turned out...

Created in publisher again!
29 pennants!!! That's quite a lot of cutting...luckily it went by fast.
Used 56 puppy pads...they came pre-folded so I only had to fold one more time then roll just like I would for a diaper cake. The top is a dog bone cookie cutter...ha ha
In the back, you can see the doggy bags that we made. They are filled with the dog treats I made (sorry no pic) and greenies. Also, check out all the gifts the new girl got...lucky girl!
And here we have the brownie pops...these little suckers did not want to work with me. I originally had 25 balls and during the dipping process they kept breaking apart or falling off the stick (which didn't happen last time) so I only ended up with 19 which was still plenty, but still...frustration station.
