EXTREME Narnia

Edmund discovers that Turkish Delight tastes like soap

My dad made a Narnia lamp but it stopped working ten minutes before the party. That's OK though because I photoshopped a glow into the lamp


There was a wardrobe



The invitations were wardrobes



The party favours were wardrobes. Because I am deranged, I made individual Narnia figures from wooden pegs. This is the Mr Tumnus batch





There was a scavenger hunt. Guests had to take all items to BigSquib who was dressed as Jadis and she handed out brown paper Mr Tumnus parcel prizes



This is one of the snowflake luminaries (with battery tealights) I made and BigSquib's crown. Also, some decorations






Food included deer cupcakes and white choc crackles

The piece de resistance... an ice castle cake

Guests decorated shields and BigSquib gave them fencing lessons with balloon swords

Handmade snowballs and two bags of insta-snow

The galleon in our backyard was renamed Dawntreader

Snowflake pinata filled with Turkish Delights, Raffaellos, chocolates, and paper snowflakes. There was also snowflake face painting

BigSquib/Jadis read the kids a book about Wilson Bentley, a guy who spent his life photographing snowflakes under a microscope. She left out the bit where Bentley died of pneumonia and handed around another book with photos of real snowflakes for everyone to look at
