Sweet "Pink" Friday

Happy Friday!

Indulge this weekend and go buy something pink 

that supports & donates to breast cancer...

Pink Paisley

While perusing over at Daisy Pink Cupcake,

I stumbled upon the most AMAZING photographer ever...

Let me say that again...AMAZING!
Pink Paisley...

Look at this eye candy...

The colors, the props, the clothing, of course the children...

AMAZING...

GORGEOUS...

Can you tell I like this person?

Goosie Girl's Party

The girls did enjoy Goosie Girl's party...

They were asking all kinds of questions about the dessert table

and I could tell they really appreciated the little touches...

The colors, as you know, were royal blue, fuschia, black & white...

I found these darling, sparkly cats at Pier One...

I covered chocolate bars & added a festive tag...

They are sitting upon a pedestal that I tied tulle around

to look like a tutu...

Pink pumpkin also came from Pier One...

You can't have a party without pops...

Those are brownie pops...

Doughnut holes are in the back pedestal...

The rock candy was a HUGE hit...

The girls had their choice of brew...
root beer or grape...

I stumbled across a cupcake store that is delicious...
Sweet Designs Kitchen...
I got an assortment of different flavors
and put toppers on them...
I kind of like just buying everything...
it's a lot easier!

I made the rosettes for an extra touch...

I also made Goosie Girl's headband with the same...

Beautifully done chocolate covered Oreos

from Sweeties by Kim...

The girls were most impressed with these!

You can't appreciate them very well
but those pink things are actually gummy teeth
that I bought at Cracker Barrel...

Poms from Pom Love...

The favors were monogrammed bags...

Goosie Girl in her tutu I made...

Posing...

One of the games that evening...
mummy wrapping...

The tutu didn't last long...

And they all had a wonderful, witchy time 
laughing, running around, eating & enjoying...
The End...

Party Sneak Peek

Whew!  I'm always so glad when a party is over...

Goosie Girl was very satisfied the way her party turned out...

I think her friends were too...

Here's a quick glimpse...

Oreos from Sweeties by Kim...

The girls were amazed by these...

One said "those are the prettiest oreo cookies I've ever seen"

and they are seriously delicious!

Poms from Pom Love...

I love these things!

They were so easy to fluff up...

More pics tomorrow...

Last Minute...

I have been a busy bee getting ready for Goosie Girl's party 

which is tomorrow night...

Hopefully since I've started early, 

I won't be running crazy tomorrow...

We'll see how that goes...

I love how the colors are coming together...

Tune in on Monday for pics & deets...

Happy Weekend!

Spiderweb Invite

I'm thinking of this for next Halloween...
The border is spectacular, no?
Guess who it's from...
Yes...
You're right...
Martha...

Which Drink Is Mine?

We've all been at parties

where you've set down your drink

and then can't remember whose is whose...

Here's a simple, inexpensive way to solve that problem...

(and be festive at the same time)

Told you it was easy...

A pipe cleaner, an embellishment of your choice, glue...

Adapt to any holiday...

A Little Sanding Sugar

How easy would these be to recreate?
You could buy a premade cake...
Grab a stencil and some sanding sugar and voila...
Gorgeous, in a spooky kind of way, isn't it?

Every Girl Loves The Little Blue Box With The White Satin Ribbon

Every girl loves this blue box with the white satin ribbon...

The thought of which sparkly jewel might be inside is to much for me...

How about sparkly jewels & desserts put together?

That might be better than just the blue box...
This table that Fete Fanatic put together 
is over the top...

Might I say, Oooh La La?

Sweet Friday

This is brilliant!

Doughnuts have become quite a hot commodity in the party scene...

Those sweet circles of pure delight

look spectacular on a dessert table...

And rather economical too...

You can buy some plain baby doughnuts...

whip some some glaze in your favorite color...

dip them in and voila...

I plan on having some at Goosie Girl's party...

But I'm going to use doughnut holes instead...
Happy Weekend!

Sweet & Pretty Tablescape

I A-D-O-R-E this table...

Those ribbon curtains are the perfect touch!

I love how you could adapt this party

to a baby sower, a bridal shower, 

or even a birthday for the young or old...
But wait...
as if that wasn't enough...
they added a tea station to it...

Simple perfection!

Marshmallow Pops

I'm loving all these marshmallow pops

I spotted over at Maddycakes Muse...

Who knew all the possibilities these little sticky puffs of sugar have...
These are definitely pretty in pink...

Perfect for Halloween...

Do these not make your heart swoon?
Delightful Chocolates out did themselves when they created these...
You can find them on Etsy...

P.S. - You should check out Maddycakes new site that she redid...
It's fabulous!
