Thankful Thursday Made it Myself March Blog Hop

*Sorry for the change in location. I'll be posting here until I get my blog back into a working order*
Hello Everyone!  Today is the Thankful Thursday Made it Myself March Blog Hop hosted by the fabulous Jenny at Crazy About Cricut!  If you just came from the talented Sandy's blog, then you are heading in the right direction.  If you are just stopping by today, then make sure you go to Crazy About Cricut to start at the beginning!  The Thankful Thursday Design Team have some super fun projects to share with you, so you will not want to miss a thing! 

Today we have a special project to share with you all.  My Oldest E wanted a Night Owl Birthday Party and after seeing these amazing felt owls at SnowyBliss, she HAD TO HAVE THEM!!   The party Anj shared at SnowyBliss was completely amazing and honestly, I would love to have a Night Owl Party of my own for my next birthday!!  Since no one is going to throw me a party, my MIL, mother and I got started on Oldest E's Birthday Party. 
We bought the Owl pattern from SnowyBliss's ETSY shop and they were so easy to bring to life.  There are 13 owls ready to be re-created but my daughter had a huge response with 26 kids RSVPd so we had to get to work on coming up with some new owls (especially some boyish ones).  Here are the new owls my Oldest E and I came up with for her friends. 
Yooo-Hooo!
I’m a Birthday Owl!
Balloons, cupcakes, presents and fun!  We can laugh and play, be silly and run!  The party is going to be a blast!
I'm so excited to be your new friend!
"Hooo"-Ray!

***Oldest E's idea***
Yooo-Hooo!
I’m a Give a Hoot Owl!

Boozhoo Niijii!
I’m an Ojibwa Owl!
 I come from a place called the Northwoods, in northern Wisconsin, I’d take you there if I could!  I love dancing in the PowWow to the beat of the drum, and eating some fried bread, it tastes so yum-yum! 
I'm so excited to be your new friend!

I feel my temperature rising, higher and higher! 
Burning hot like I’m a camp fire

The rest of these owls are from the SnowyBliss pattern so you must stop by SnowyBliss in order to check them out and get their personalities.   I did make a few alterations to some of them which I'll list below.
(I gave him a guitar rather than music notes)


(My mom gave him heart eyes...super cute)









(My mother in law and I thought she needed a dress-up neaklace and some earrings)

(I gave her a full tutu)

The kids had to find glow stick neaklaces which had a star attached.  Each star was numbered and coordinated with an owl.  The kids pulled them out of the bags one at a time and it was so awesome to see their faces as they met their owl!

My daughter had so much fun coming up with these and she was thrilled that almost every one of her friends got an owl that was PERFECT for their personalities!  Her party was a few weeks ago now, and we are still coming up with new owl personalities...haha...the party never ends!

A huge thank you to Anj for sharing this amazing Birthday Party, and another huge thank you to my mother-in-law and mother for helping me bring these adorable owls to life!  There is no way I could have gotten them all done without them and it was definitely a fun family project for several weeks, which is what Thankful Thursday is all about!

There were so many owls that I couldn't get them into a good pic together, so my friend put this collage together for me...thank you Jenny!!
Thanks for taking the time to check out our creation today.  I've taken enough of your time so please hop on to your next stop at

My daughter has been in love with owls for a long time now. Too bad I hadn't seen this sooner because her birthday is in 2 1/2 weeks and these would be great for her party. Maybe I could make just a few for prizes and of course one for her. You and your family did such a fantastic job. Thank you for all the ideas for the theme of each owl. I think my favorite is baking owl and the one with the Tutu.

OMG They are so Cute!!! I have to admit, though, it was FrankenOwl that made me laugh out loud. Wonderful project.
