Pink Martini Cookies

Since the Hub was out of town this weekend...

I had some extra time to make some new cookies...

I just love their sparkle & shine...

I couldn't decide between the rim done in sparkle dust...

(Goosie Girl liked this one)

or the rim in sanding sugar...

(This was my fave)

So how about both together...

Wouldn't these be the sweetest addition

to a happy hour...

a bachelorette party...

a cocktail party...

or just a girls night out...

Cheers!

Beverage Bucket

I love using big buckets to hold beverages...

They are a much more attractive alternative

than your average cooler...

And being able to see

the different drinks to choose from
is so much better than having to dig...

I adore this do-it-yourself one from Today's Nest...

They used an actual pal...

painted the inside...

added the chalkboard tag...

and the best part...

a magnetic bottle opener

for easy access...

Brilliant!

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...

Yarn Poms For Adults?

As you may recall,

I made yarn pom toppers for Goosie Girl's

end of the year party at school...

they were so festive & fun...

Perfect for a school party...

Who would have thought yarn poms

could be classy...

 and for adults?

Well...see for yourself...

 

Vintage sweetness...

Love it!

I'll Have a Key Lime Colada, Please

While browsing over at the Swanky Table, I stumbled across this most delicious looking drink...a Key Lime Colada. Now, I am a big fan of key lime pie so of course my mouth was watering just looking at it...so pretty...so refreshing...

Is this beautiful or what? Does this not make you want to recreate this? And the graham cracker lined rim...aaahhh....I'm in heaven! Sir...I'll have one of those please!

Thank you Swanky Tables for going to Hawaii!

Key Lime Colada

1 oz. vanilla rum
1 to ¾ oz. Keke Beach Key Lime Cream liqueur
1 splash piña colada mix and pineapple juice
1 cup of ice
