The circus has gone

 The big top has been taken down; the animals are asleep in the boxcars, the act have packed away the magic and glitter and  the circus train is ready for it's long journey to the next town.

Kim and I enjoy all your parties  and a big super sized circus thank you to all that took part .....Thank you 

Hugs Kim and Wendy

the moonlight blog party under the big top

A few days ago  I started reading the " Night circus"  and was so inspired with the idea that I start thinking about hosting a blog party with a night circus theme. 

Also at the same time Kim and I started work on some designing  that also had a circus theme 

 and so that was it..

 I emailed Kim 

and after a bit of arm twisting.... 

she said YES!  she would co - host with me 

so

we cordially invite you 

to 

 the  Moonlight  Blog party 

under the big top    

WHEN

the date is the weekend of the 29 September 

WHERE

Here some ideas for your circus inspired parties ....

A circus inspired table scrape with clowns and circus animals , your favorite circus food  or rides  who doesn't love the merry go round. 

Circus fashion, jewelry  or crafts.

Create your own circus act....... 

Recreate your favorite circus movie or book and there's been so good ones  

He who gets slapped 1924

The circus 1928

Dumbo 1941

the greatest show on earth 1952

Create  a piece of circus art or if you live near there are places to go to  

This is just one place I found...  

http://www.merrygoroundmuseum.org/

or tell us about a child hood memory of going to the circus.... 

what your favorite sideshow? 

or circus animals? 

Maybe you have a collection of clowns.

 These are just ideas and you can do what you like as long as it about the circus
