Capri Sun Catch a Wave Party

This weekend I held my Capri Sun

End of Summer party for
HouseParty.com.

I kept everything simple and fun
I used a colorful polka dot backdrop for my table
These colors were carried out onto the snack table.

The menu was simple
Coral Chips were Cheetos
Surfin' Snacks were Chex Mix
Party Popcorn and
Corndogs served straight up!

I always try to display the food
in a way that is appealing to the eyes.
Food is always fun on a stick so Corndogs
made a perfect food to display upright!

The Drinks were of course Capri Suns!

Capris Sun sent me a party package
that included Pencil Pouches, Magnets, and
Frisbees for all
I added in a few extras to top it off.

The labels were from one of my new
favorite etsy stores M Bradley Designs
Check out all her printables here!

The kids enjoyed a fun filled day
to end the summer!

I had so much fun hosting and can't wait
to host another party for House Party!

You should all give it a try!

Skeletons Allowed!!

out for Halloween at Pottery Barn!

It's my birthday too yea!

So, today is my birthday and
I plan on spending a little time
in the spa and dinner with family.

I feel extremely blessed at this
moment in my life to have such
wonderful friends and family.

And I am also so thankful to all of you
who have taken this journey with me.

So I am celebrating both today
Happy Birthday and Happy Blogging!

Can't get much better than that
Isn't great to look up and say
"I don't want anything more
I don't want anything less."

Zero Calorie Dessert Table

Try not having dessert at all!

This is a great little twist on the

classic dessert table that we have

all become accustomed to!

Check out these fabulous spa

bath and body goodies!

They have the look and smell of baked treats and confections!

This idea comes to us from Nonpareil.

How fun would this be for a girls night in spa party?

I think this could be fun for all ages!

You can find all of the recipes to make your own

body treats such as bath salts, lip balm, sugar scrub

and much, much more!

Those Cupcake Bath Bombs are to die for!

Love them!

Not only does Nonpareil provided the directions

for making these little treasures,

they have provided all of the downloads

to go with it here!

Including the cupcake boxes and

of the labels you see pictured!

I love this no calorie dessert idea!

What do you think?

Elegant and Gothic Halloween

Well, sorry I was absent yesterday!

It is only the 3rd week of school and

my daughter is already home sick!

I hate the school germ factory!

Now that everyone is in bed for the night,

I have been catching up on my blog reading!

Thank goodness for a break.

Looks like we are all getting into the

festive Halloween mood.

There are so many good ideas!

I found this one in Family Circle magazine

today when I was sitting in the doctors office.

with accents in silver!

Celebrate with Pie

Happy Labor Day!
Hope everyone is enjoying their time off

and spending time with family.

We have had a great weekend.

I will be spending my morning with my girls

in the kitchen making these pocket pies for a BBQ tonight.

My girls are so excited!

They love making these....

I think it reminds them of cutting sugar cookies.

They are so easy to make and everything

is sweeter in smaller packages!

All you need is this tool!

Find them at your local Williams Sonoma stores.

Follow this link for a video instruction.

Enjoy!

High School Reunion for next summer!

You have to start these things early!

Well, I thought these Thank you cards

from Etsy store

Todd Designs

would make perfect cards to send out

after the reunion!

These would make perfect cards

for any 80's theme party!

Olivia at Field Journal.

These are pictures from her 4th of July celebration

that could be used for any patriotic celebration!

She designed all of the paper details...

The "Set Up"...can't get more classic than this!

I love this idea....I will be using it soon!

And of course, DESSERT!
Custom cone labels that read "Sweet Land of Liberty"
LOVE IT!

Makes me want to sit on the porch with my hair blowing

in the wind drinking a cold one!

What are you plans for the weekend?

Any traditions?
