Hot...Hot...Hot

I have missed you all the last couple of days!
I have been preparing for a

"Girl's Night In" at my casa!

A few months ago I blogged about a company called Picnik!

Picnik is an online photo editing site!

They are awesome!

Well, they saw my post and asked me to host a House Party for them!
Really...you had to ask?

Me? Host a party?

I was very excited and the party is tonight!

Since it is all girls and it is close to Cinco de Mayo...

I thought "One Hot Tamale" would make a great

theme for my girls night!

Here is a little peak.....

Thank you to Susan at Poca Cosas for the Mexican flower idea!

And to Parties by Hardie who made these labels for me

in a DAY!

My theme idea was last minute!

She was so helpful is getting these labels done for me!

Have a Great Weekend.....

Hot Stuff!

I found this very cute little boys party

on The Smiths Blog!
I don't do a lot of boys theme parties...

mainly because I have 2 girls and

no boys in sight!

My 16 year old nephew won't

go for this type of party!

But, I had to share these very cute party details!

So, on with the party!

When the Guests...I mean "Construction Workers"

arrived, they received a Tool Belt and a Personalized Hard Hat.

Check out that Orange Cord wreath on the door!

Love it!

Goodies table...love the Orange "Wrecking Balls"!

I absolutely love the Orange Cone Drink Cups!

And that cake....so cute!

Painting....Photo Op.....Favors! Oh my!
