The Celebration Shoppe
We always like to give a little something special out on Halloween to the kiddos in the neighborhood that the boys play with. Last week I was browsing around and ran across some adorable ghost cello bags from The Gaines Gang. I immediately thought clever! And then the next thing I thought was how I …
I made these little hoot owl donuts a few months ago, in the aftermath of designing our pumpkin patch harvest party collection that features a cute little owl and this argyle pattern (see full collection in the shoppe). He’s super easy to pull together and no baking required! I personally LOVE that part! Here’s what you’ll need: Body – …
Growing up I remember orange pumpkins and gourds galore, but not so much the white pumpkin. And now they are everywhere and I LOVE how we can decorate with them. I admittedly subscribe to a ton of magazines and these are just a few of my favorite white pumpkin decorations found in their pages: Spellbinding black and white from Better Homes …
We had the most beautiful Sunday afternoon yesterday. The air was crisp and fresh, the boys were happily playing in the yard and it just felt like fall. Plus we started decorating our front porch. We always start with fall items (straw bales, Indian corn, pumpkins) and then follow-up in a few weeks with Halloween items like …
We live in Ohio so there are pumpkins galore this time of year and the kids always want to carve them. It’s not always the easiest task to keep the boys clean during that process, but they always have such a good time. And who am I to say no to these sweet faces and to …
Those who stop in know that my oldest is a scientist (his birthday party last year). What this means is that I have read too many bug books, collected too many live… and dead… oh yes… specimens, dug up too many worms, bought too many science kits and gadgets… but at the end of the …
I absolutely LOVE to see pictures from moms that have been inspired by my parties and our party supplies. You can find our science party supplies in the shoppe (invitations, thank you notes and party supplies)! Rachel from Mrs. Mouthy hosted this fabulous party for her son Vincenzo and wow did she go all out! That cake alone is …
For my son’s seventh birthday robot party we wanted the kids to make actual robots. We thought of tons of ways to make them, but at the end of many days of testing ideas (tin can robots, juice box robots), we ended up going with the Rice Krispies Treat. The primary reason was that every other …
I first met Stephanie of Paislee Lane when she submitted her little girl as a model candidate for our Art party photo shoot (Art Party Dessert Table, Art Party Photo Op, Art Party Collection in the Shoppe) back in April. Here daughter was just adorable and came to the party wearing this fun little headband. When …
Aren’t these homemade lollipops from Better Homes and Gardens just fun?! I ran across them while looking for art birthday party ideas (see some of my art party crafts and treat ideas and our invitations and decor collection), but these could be great for any celebration. I’m thinking of my annual Christmas cookie decorating party. I mean, maybe …
