Ike's party. I'm overwhelmed by the really kind feedback -- we loved putting
it together + so glad you like it too! </p><p>I've gotten a bunch of emails about Ike's party so I thought I'd do a few follow-up posts about the details. I was all about making simple, practical and fun things for the kids to enjoy. One of my favorite things were the favors ...</p><p><a href="http://simplesong.typepad.com/.a/6a00e54f134ac588340120a6a7c98b970c-pi" style="display: inline;"><img alt="Stamp favor" border="0" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00e54f134ac588340120a6a7c98b970c image-full " src="http://simplesong.typepad.com/.a/6a00e54f134ac588340120a6a7c98b970c-800wi" style="width: 451px; height: 641px;" title="Stamp favor"></img></a> </p><p>Custom wood handled rubber stamps! When giving favors I always like to give something you can eat :) or actually use. For these, I got one made for each child, stamped their name on a cotton bag and paired it with a little ink pad. Super easy. </p><p>I use Ike's all the time and it seems the other parents appreciated it too. The font I used for the name is<a href="http://jessicahische.blogspot.com/2009/07/my-first-font-is-finally-up-for-sale-i.html"> Jessica Hische's Buttermilk</a>. Love this font and pretty much used it on everything.</p><p>EDIT: Forgot to mention where I got the stamps! I got these made <a href="http://www.rubberstampman.com/index.html">here</a> - fairly quick service, great quality and reasonable prices. Ask for Bob if you have questions. </p><p>[bottom two photos by <a href="http://kateheadley.typepad.com/">Kate Headley</a>]</p></div><div class="feedflare">
