Sweet Cookie and Milk Inspiration Board

Photobucket
A sweet party idea that I love is a cookies and milk party! Use chocolate, strawberry and regular milk to play up color ideas, and put flower arrangements in "vintage" colored or clear milk bottles (super cheap at the thrift store!) to make things a little girly-er!

Lil' Squirt Elephant Baby Sprinkle







I threw a small shower for my cousin. We went with a "sprinkle" instead of a full on baby shower as it was for a 2nd baby. She had no preference, so I use one of my favorite color combos grey, orange and turquoise. Congrats Cara on baby boy #2! NOTE to self, take pictures of parties you host! I am horrible at that part, better off to designate the job to someone else. Carli

Giraffe Party Inspiration Board




My kids always love a day trip to a zoo, and I love the idea of a giraffe party for a little boy. Seems to be a pretty hot trend these days. So I wanted to create a cute design without going too cartoon-y, keeping it still fun!

Sneak Peek: Abby's Sweet Shoppe

Here is a sneak peek of my daughter's 6th birthday party currently in the works. So I tried last year to have a candy themed party (for the 2nd time, she had one when she was 2 and LOVED it!), but she was way into Tinkerbell last year so went that route (much to my dismay, but it is her birthday not mine!). I know there are a ton of darling sweet treats/candy themed parties out there and after seeing all of them Abby decided she DID want one. So I got my creative juices flowing (okay they are always flowing often too much, hence a craft room full of half finished products, so many ideas, so little time!) to come up with something different. I don't like doing what everyone else is doing, so I can headed a direction I don't usually go for kids parties. If you can't tell by my designs, I usually go for big, fun, bright & busy. This time, I decided to go for a more vintage feel & look; Abby's Sweet Shoppe was born. I am going for a pink, red (her 2 favorite colors) and aqua/turqoise-ish blue color. I know it is not what most would expect from my designs, but I love it, I think it is going to be darling! Your thoughts? Any creative ideas out there? Please share.

More to come, when I return from vacation.
