Ghouls Night In

This past weekend I hosted a

Ghouls Night In Pokeno Party!

We enjoyed a night with tricks

and plenty of treats...

and NO kids anywhere!

Aw...love girls nights!

Here are the details from the party!

My inspiration definitely came from

the TomKat Studios

Party printables found here!

Kim has 2 Fabulous styles to choose from and

they are both great!

I started with a few accents

to set the mood....

Boot tag read:
You say "Witch" like that's a bad thing...
Love it!

Moving on to the drinks...

at the Boo Doo Lounge!

Sangria Margaritas

Purple Rock Candy Cocktail Stirrer

and drink markers

Accented with a Tomkat Printable.

I was looking for a coffin to serve the drinks in but,

can you believe I couldn't find a small one!!!

I decided to make my own out of black paper.

Tutorial to come soon!

Tag for the coffin read:

"Dying for a Drink"

And I was!

The dessert table was accented with

lots of black and purple!

Cake Pops Stand!

My favorite accent!

My wonderful mom found this

pumpkin stand at Cracker Barrel

and I thought it would make a perfect

dessert display!

More sweets from the table...

Hope you can host your own "Ghouls" Night Out too!

Happy Haunting!

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?

I attended a Pokeno Party on Monday night

and had so much fun!

I haven't seen to many party ideas for Pokeno

so I put together a little Pokeno inspiration

for all of you !

I love having theme cocktails!
Why not carry the color palette through

the drinks and make 3 cocktails?

Do you have a Pokeno group?

Share your ideas!

One Hot Tamale Girls Night

Well, on Friday I told you about my

Girl's Night In Party I had planned!

The party went great and the girls had so much fun

editing their pictures on Picnik!

Picnik is an online photo editing company

that asked me to host a House Party for them!

I gladly accepted!

If you haven't tried it..head over there and check it out!

You can host your own party too!

If you are interested contact me and I will

pass on the information!

The party theme was One Hot Tamale!

With Cinco de Mayo around the corner I thought

this was a perfect theme to tie in.

I opted for a more modern background for my theme

and chose Red, White, and Black as my colors.

The labels were custom made for me by

Parties By Hardie!

She was great to work with and helped me out on short notice!

I used the labels everywhere!

They were great!

I hole punched the edges of the plates and added a tag

attached by a red brad for an little extra touch.

I used metal containers to hold my red and white paper flowers.

Thanks again to Susan at Poca Cosas for the paper flower idea!

And for the napkins, I tied them up with red raffia

and attached a red pepper label.

The desserts table was a big hit!

Chocolate Cake Balls

Strawberry Cheesecake served in Mini Martini Glasses

Key Lime Mousse Cups

Lemon Poundcake with Lemon Mousse and Raspberries

Kahlua soaked Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Mousse

Lemon Cookies

The Favors were boxes of Hot Tamales!

I just covered them in scrapbook paper

and added the label!

I served Sangria and Margaritas for the cocktails!

These made great swirls mixed together!

Yummy!

And of course, I used the labels to make

drink tags for the glasses.

By the way, I got the glasses at Dollar Tree!

WOO...WHOOO...

For the appetizers we had

Grilled Chicken and Beef Skewers

Chips and Queso

7 Layer Dips served in individual wine glasses

Mini Beef Taco bowls

For some reason I didn't get any pictures of the food!

And I wish I had better pictures of the dessert table.

I will do better next time!

Hope you can use some inspiration for your

Cinco de Mayo celebrations this week!
Check out Parties by Hardie

for some printables!

These were custom made but,

I bet you could purchase them too!

Oh...and all the pictures you see..

you guessed it!

I used Picnik to edit them, add text, add borders,

and make the collages!

Yummy Pink

What is not to like about these little pink desserts?
My favorite is the donut on the spoon!

That would be a nice little touch for
your sweethearts morning coffee on Valentines day!

Sorry....I am a bad blogger! Didn't document the source.

Put your heart here

House Party

This has got to be the my new favorite site!

House Party is a very unique online party hosting site!

This is so fun and I can't wait to try it out!

I love hosting parties and I love to find a good deal! This has both!

The idea is to host a party on a specific day for all kinds of companies.

Basically you will be trying out their products for FREE!!!

All you are responsible for is getting your friends to your house and entertaining with the products that you are sent from the company.

You may be trying new foods or drinks,

Viewing unseen TV previews,

Listening to unreleased CD's

Examples of some of the parties that you can host in the near feature are:

Betty Crocker Cookie Party

Barbie Movie Preview

Martha Stewart Crafts

Avocados from Mexico

Hunt's Backyard Garden Party

First go out to House Party and browse the parties.

You have to apply to be a host.

If selected you will have access to online tools and invites to help you plan your party.

I want to try all of them! I am not sure how many you can sign up for at a time but, with all of the free stuff for the host....I am going to try as many as possible!
