So, Carrie Selman of Half Baked was so kind to share her tutorial to learn how to make these cutie patootie bottles, AND give us the FREE  printables to make the labels!  Head on over to her blog to get the juicy details!

{Party Inspiration} 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' Birthday Party!

 

I all but jumped up and down when I saw this party from Hana Lynch Photography...I have been DYING to do a themed birthday party based on a children's book, and 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' happens to be one of my favorite...love...

 

What I love most about this party is that every little detail was brought to life.  All of the foods the caterpillar eats in the store appeared on the buffet table...

 

...and how adorable is this cake?!  

Check out the rest of these adorable details below...what a great way to keep these classic stories alive...

 

 

And with my career in education, I can only IMAGINE how many stories I could use to design my next party...I've got the itch! =)

Cheers,

{My Parties} Click. Grand Opening Pictures!!

 

Yay!  I've been waiting to share this post with you for what seems like forever (not really, only 2 weeks) but that's only because it's special to me...and that's because it was a VERY important night for my friends, Jackie and Matt over at Click.

{Party Inspiration} Here's Comes the 4th of July!

Well, the countdown is on!  I can't believe it, but next week is finally Independence Day...bring on the BBQ =)  So, I thought it would be great to "sprinkle" my blog with tons of party ideas I've found to use at your celebration!

{Idea!} Veggie Shooters

 

I am so VERY in love with this idea...no, I really, really mean it.  This is an elegant and easy GENIUS idea, and most importantly, will cure double dipping at parties for ever!  I first saw this veggie shooter idea in the July 2011 issue of...what else...Martha Stewart Living...

{Recipe} Chocolate Covered Cherry Cake--Father's Day Favorite!

My dad absolutely LOVES chocolate covered cherries...so, when I came across the recipe for a chocolate covered cherry cake over at i.am.baker. , I was floored.  I could probably shop for hours online or in a mall and never find something he would like better...mmmm...

{Fab Find} The Anders Ruff Etsy Shop!

Hi all!  I'm so sorry I've been blogger MIA for a few days now...I'm gearing up for Click's Grand Opening next weekend!  So many exciting things going on with that...
