Juice Box Mummies

Who is ready for Halloween?

I am really getting into the mood with all of the

party inspiration that I am seeing everywhere!

How about these little cuties?

Mummy wrapped juice boxes!

Just wrap up those boxes with white electrical tape
or cheese cloth would work at well.
Add some adhesive backed googly eyes
to the front and poke a hole in the top for the straw!

What a fun idea to serve at a child's

Halloween party or a fun surprise for their lunch boxes!

I am doing this one for sure!!

Baby Reveal Idea

I love the idea of baby reveal parties!

The fun of cutting open the cake and

seeing the pink or blue cake on the inside.

Well, I saw this idea over at Volume 25 blog

and photgraphy by Kelly Anderson Photography.

A Boxed Balloon Reveal!!

Check out this sweet photo!

I love it!!

How fun would this be?



Good Idea: Coffee Cubes

It has been one hot summer here in Texas!

Iced coffee has been a favorite of mine this summer!

Making Iced coffee at home can be fun!

Instead of pouring that last little bit of coffee

down the drain, save it and make cubes out of it!

This works great for tea as well!

Just empty your cooled left over coffee or tea into

an ice cube tray and freeze!

Simple as that!

Now if you are like me and like to do things

a little different, try using different ice molds!

Checkout these coffee bean ice molds!

How fun!

You can find these fun molds at Perpetual Kid.

DIY Stars in Jars

and fun ideas and came across this project.

Stars in Jars!

What you need:

Mason Jars

Glow in the Dark Paint

Wooden sticks or small paint brushes

What to do:

Dip your stick or brush in the paint

Splatter inside the jar

That is all!

This would be so fun for my kids rooms

or for a sleep over party craft!

Picasso Art Party!

My sweet little girl turned 4 last week and

had been talking about an Art Party for months!

It was the first time to invite classmates over

to her house for a party and she was beaming

with excitement!

I have so many pictures so bare with me

in this super size of a feature!

The little artist were greeted by a

birthday balloon wreath!

So super easy!  You must make one! 

And my Sweet Birthday Girl!

Don't you love that shirt!

The ever fabulous Kristina at Modern Frills never disappoints! 

 They are great shirts! 

The first task for my Mini Picasso's

were to make Picasso Pops!

My daughter's help me smash up colorful candies

and place them into bowls divided by colors.

Each guest made their own lollipops!

I wish I had pictures of the finished product...

however I had my hands full!

(Note to self:  Hire a Photographer!)

After making their Picasso Pops,

each little artist found their art supplies

in the Art Cubby that I set up.



Next, my little artists were off for a little

sand art fun!

After finishing their sand art, they painted

their own Picasso Masterpiece.

The kids were so creative! 

Who needs a little treat?

The kids had a little snack with painting

from these fabulous Kandy Kones

by Posh Party Pretties!

Starving Artist?

Yes, after all of that hard work, it was time to eat!

I kept the table design simple.

A row of colorful pails with matching pinwheels lined the table.

I cut the place mats out of colorful foam sheets

and added the dots to make a painters palette.

I tied up the gable boxes with a tag that

read "Starving Artist" and attached a paint brush

for a little added touch.

After all of that fun and lunch....

it is time for some sweets right?

Raibow Lantern hung above the Sweets Table...

I knew I had to have this ruffled table skirt as soon as

my daughter said "Art Party"!

The sweets table included this Fabulous Cake,

Cupcakes, Painters Palette Cookies, Colorful Gumballs,

Crayola Jelly Bellies, and last but not least..

Rainbow Cake Push Cakes!

The kids all made their own gumball masterpiece

to take home with them.

I had so much fun making the push cakes!

I had a little snag with the box displays

and had to serve them upside down,

but hey...it worked.

push ups head over to this post:

The kids loaded up their Art Cubby with Sand Art,

Paintings, Gumballs, and this fun little favor!

The favors were 4 small containers with

colorful playdoh in each. I tied them up with

some twine and included a mini polling pin,

and heart shaped cookie cutter on top!

I had so much fun planning this fun and colorful party

for my daughter!

Art is such a fun activity for little ones!

Pie in a Jar with Free Patriotic Tags...Yes, Please!

I have been wanting to make those cute little pies

in mason jars since I saw them way back when!

Well, I finally got around to making them!

You have to try these!

They are super easy and have a big impact

when you attach a cute little label!

What do you think?

Want to make you own?

Here are the recipes and directions!

Basic Pie Crust Recipe:

(Via Our Best Bites)

2 cups Flour

1/4 tsp of Salt

11 Tbls of Butter

4 to 5 Tbls of cold water

1. Measure flour and salt into a bowl.

Cut cold butter (straight from fridge) into small chunks

and throw on top of the flour.

2.   Cut the butter into the flour.

Until butter is in small crumbly pieces.

3.  Add ice water a tablespoon at a time

while stirring dough mixture with a fork

4.  Bring it all together and pat into a ball.

 Wrap in plastic and put it in the fridge.

Next for the Fruit:

2 C prepared fruit (pitted, diced, peeled, etc.)

2 T sugar- brown or white

2 T flour

1 T butter (divided between the pies)

Seasonings/flavorings- cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and almond extract, citrus zest etc)

I used red delicious apples for this recipe.

Sprinkle flour over fruit.

Add  brown sugar to taste, up to 1/2 cup.

Mix it all up.

Next Make a Topper and Line the jar:

Roll out a small handful of dough.

This is just for the tops of your pies.

Grab the ring part of your jar and use that as your cookie cutter.

Cut the tops and set them aside.

Now the fun begins:  Assembly!!

1.  Start pressing the dough into the jars. 

Start from the bottom and work your way until you

almost reach the top of the rim.

2.  Add 1/2 cup fruit filling

3. Add the Circle Toppers to the the pie

4.  Press with a fork to seal the edges. (sorry no pictures)

5.  Brush the tops with butter and sugar.

I used Maple Sugar I bought at Williams Sonoma!  It is so good! 

You have to try this stuff!

I put it in my coffee....ok, ok, I digress...

Now, you can either freeze these lovilies for another day,

or you can bake them up now

If frozen, cook at 375 for 50 to 60 minutes or to cook immediately for 45.

I cooked mine for exactly 45 minutes and they were perfect!!

Now, who wants some free tags to go along with these yummies?

Just send me an email at

bcramer485@sbcglobal.net

and tell me what kind of pie you are making!
You will get
Cherry Pie Labels
