Mini-me got me to read the first three books in the Twilight series sometime last year while waiting for the last Harry Potter book to come out. (The family that reads together, gets into book series theory debates together, or something like that.) Since that time they have become somewhat of a phenomenon in the world of teenage girls.
We pre-ordered our copy of the latest in the series, Breaking Dawn early in the summer and Mini-me has been waiting for the midnight release party ever since. The internet is awash in release party costume ideas and heated discussions about who will win Bella's undying love (excuse the pun!)
We figured if the rest of the world was as or even more into this book as we were we'd might as well make a party of it! We've spent the past week brainstorming ideas for fun and original crafts that relate to the story and have come up with some great ones. I lucked into finding a fabulous jewelry company at CHA that has fabulous pewter pendants ready to be personalized and embellished. We're also making red satin book thongs, bottle cap pins and decorating canvas tote bags.
If you already have plans for the midnight release join us beforehand for pizza, crafts and fun, we'll be finished up in plenty of time for you to still make it to your local bookstore to pick up your copy well before the break of dawn!
