to my favorite peeps

Cute, huh?  I'm so making these for friends.  Get the free download here @ eighteen 25.

countdown to the new year

Thought I'd repost a birthday party I did in 2008 since the theme screams New Years. You can read more about the party here.

I'm planning to head out to Ikea on Wednesday to grab some more clocks so I can rework this idea with a different color scheme for our New Years celebration.

I also plan to do this if I can gather all the clocks I need

and give this as a take home favor

Having lived in South Carolina for a time as a missionary for my church I have come to love the Southern ways. Black Eyed Peas on New Years is a memory I have from my time there and I love the idea of sharing that tradition with my friends here in California.

how sweet it is

How sweet is this Candyland party?  I ran across it at Katherine Marie Photography and I believe Katherine is the one that threw this beautiful bash.  She left nothing undone - it is amazing.

If I had to pick a favorite from the party though I would definitely pick these take home favors - gotta love that after a party full of candy the guests are going home with a toothbrush.  A perfect favor.
There are many more pictures at Katherine's site so head over there and check them out

gift bag goodness

So cute!

I found these over at Flights of Fancy as I was browsing for ideas for the upcoming baby shower I am planning.  The addition of the pretty little label to the brown bag is perfect.  Be sure to go check out the great step by step for making these.

after dinner mint

Cute, huh?  What a fun little way to dress up an after dinner mint.  I love little details like this. Found on Etsy.

last post for tonight - i promise

Love these!  Can I possibly get married again (to the same perfect man of course)?  I want these as my place cards.

needs more butter

Check this soap out!  Yes, soap.  How cute is this?  I want this spilling out on my bathroom counter for our next movie night shindig.  Or for my Halloween party 2010 - CarnEVIL.  Yes, I am working on themes that are still years away.  This popcorn soap is seriously so cute!

Just a little blog lesson...when you see a word or words highlighted in bold or a different color in a post it usually indicates a link.  Just click on the word(s) and you will be led to more information.  I have had some questions recently about this so just thought I'd share to make sure no one was missing out.
