- The Fling Before the Ring -




This past spring my sister and I planned a bachelorette party for our little sister Kelsey.  The theme we decided on was a combination starting with a relaxing Mani/Pedi morning and then dinner and drinks in the evening to follow. In preparing for the party, I put together a little tutorial on glittering up some dollar store champagne glasses.    I wanted to serve Mimosas in the morning at the salon and what better than to drink Mimosas bright and early from sparkly glittered champagne glasses!


These are the supplies I gathered for this project... 3M spray adhesive from Michaels, champagne glasses purchased at the Dollar General, & silver and pink glitter from Walmart.  I also used a shoe box to catch all the extra glitter. 


First, the glasses came apart at the bottom.  I removed the bottom of the glass and sprayed adhesive on it over the box... although, I would recommend doing the adhesive spraying somewhere other than your kitchen table because it can leave a sticky residue on the table (I have been scrubbing this off my table for several months now =) ).   I then took the glitter and poured it over the adhesive. 


After I covered all the glass bottoms with glitter, I put them aside to dry over night.  I then put all the glasses back together the next morning.  They turned out super cute!


Here are some of the projects I put together for this party...


I found this silver marker at Hobby Lobby and had all the girls sign this wine bottle for my sister.



I got a little carried away with the glitter and decided to cover the dollar store handcuffs too!!


I found this bride to be sash at Michaels and added some lace to the top and bottom to jazz it up a bit.  I also found these silver glitter letters at Michaels and glued them on the back of this tulle veil.




What party is complete without YUMMY cupcakes!



It was a successful Bachelorette party and lots of fun was had by all!

Chevron Halloween Treat Bags...Oh My!


In the spirit of Halloween tomorrow, I thought I would share the kid's chevron Halloween treat bags that I created for school. The bags were made of a mix of candy, squishy mice, pencils, and bat rings.  Most everything I used I purchased at Walmart, Michaels, & Stampin Up.  We started by filling our clear plastic bags, found at Walmart in the Party aisle.  We then pulled out all my stamping supplies.  I used my black StazOn ink pad and an orange Stampin Up ink pad, a mix of Halloween Stampin Up stamps, and a chevron stamp I found in the $1 bin at Michaels.  I also used my Stampin Up tag punch and hole punch.  After cutting out and stamping all of our tags, I finished up our bags by wrapping an orange ribbon around the bag to close it and attached the spider ring around the tied ribbon.  Enjoy!

Hunter's Owly Woods

- Welcome to Hunter's Owly Woods -

So in the spirit of party planning for my little man's 3rd birthday, I thought that I would share Hunter's 2nd woodland themed birthday celebration with you.  This was one of my favorite parties that I have planned!  Of course my love of owls had nothing to do with it!  


Our welcome sign was made from Pages on my Mac.  I enlarged the number 2 after finding the perfect Woodland themed font off the internet.  I printed the 2 off my printer and cut it out.


I used my Mom's Woodland themed Cricut cartridge to cut out a lot of the party decor, including this hedgehog shown.




My husband cut out pieces of a tree trunk to use as a cupcake tray and I threw in some moss for a finishing touch.


These super cute cupcake were made by one of my friends Jamie.

More Cricut decorations.

My Mom created this Owl applique shirt just for Little Man.




No party is complete without a jump house!



I used a mixture of Stampin Up & other stamps for this owl themed thank you.
