Sweet Friday

I could think of nothing more perfect

for Sweet Friday

thank this Valentine photo shoot from Anders Ruff...
They were introducing their darling, new 
Valentine printable package
(which I've already purchased)...

Could it be any sweeter than this?
I think not!...

It's time to be impressed...
These are made from paper plates...
Gasp now...
They even give us the directions on how we can do this...

These cookies from Allyson Jane tied with pink ribbon...
Too precious for words...

Simple bottle wrappers...
Remember, it's all in the details...

These homemade flowers make me happy...

I bought this "sweet" printable set for these...
Fortune tellers...
I'm going to print them out for my class...
What 4th grader wouldn't love this?...

Pop over to their blog & Etsy store...
They are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!...
Have a "sweet" weekend!

A Vintage Birthday Party

Look how sweet this vintage birthday party

(designed by Kami Buchanan) is...

I just love old timey looks like this...

How precious is this invitation?...
Loving that headband!...

You need to read how she created this flower broach...
brilliant idea...

Loving this sign...especially the color...

 Isn't presentation just everything?...

Of course no party would be complete without sweets...
Reminds me of what a dime store would look like...

Please pop over to her blog where you can read all the specifics
and see more eye candy...

Stylish Blogger Award

I had such an unexpected, wonderful surprise waiting for me 

when I got home from school yesterday...

It came at such a great time too...

I truly L-O-V-E blogging...

reading & following talented people,

finding beautiful inspirational parties, products & designers

 and sharing them with you...

I was questioning myself though 

asking if I was just another ordinary blog

or if people enjoy reading what I love to write about...

and then I got this...

Can we say flabbergasted? 

What an honor thanks to Elizabeth from Be Joyful Always...

When I clicked on her blog,

the first thing I came across was this verse...

"BE JOYFUL ALWAYS; PRAY CONTINUALLY;

GIVE THANKS IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES,

FOR THIS IS GOD'S WILL FOR YOU IN CHRIST JESUS."

1 THESSALONIANS 5:16-18
I truly think that this was God speaking to me
telling me to keep my creative passion/vision going...

A Football Party

With Superbowl approaching

this party gave me some inspiration...

Styled by Shingdig Parties To Go,

It was featured on Kara's Party Ideas as the party of the day...

I can see why...

It's adorable!

What I love is that she explained it step by step
detailing what she used & how she created it...
Like these letters from Hobby Lobby...

These cupcake wrappers are precious...

And of course you could customize your colors
to fit your favorite team...

Goosie Girl Accessories

As you know Goosie Girl has started designing headbands...

What's wonderful about these headbands

(besides the fact they are adorable)

is the fact that the rosettes can be mixed & matched

because they are adhered to the headband with velcro...

So that got me thinking...

After a little research & experimenting

Goosie Girl has added to her collection rings & necklaces...

But here's the fabulous part...

These can all be mixed & matched as well...

The small rosette can be taken off the headband & put on the ring

or the necklace for instant glamour...

It's wonderful...

Click here to pop over to Goosie Girl's Etsy store to take a peek...

Here are a few of the latest Valentine styles...

Oh & by the way...I've named them...

Meet "Juliet"...

Next we have "Lola"...

Lola is a special Valentine creation...

She is adorned with Swarovski crystals for a little bling...

And up next is "Maisy"...

and finally "Lilly"...

Lilly is my favorite to mix & match with...

I love to pair Lilly & Lulu together (see above)...

**I haven't listed the necklaces on Etsy yet...

They hopefully will be added tonight...**

Goosie Girl is dreaming big & reaching for the stars this year...

Don't you just love this pic from Lauren McKinsey ?!
