Fourth of July Preview!

Well believe it or not, July is just around the corner and it's time to celebrate the Fourth with food, friends and fireworks! So here's some patriotic invitations to get you in the mood! I designed these last night, embellished them a little with some glittery star stickers and was off to deliver them to our friends! It's going to be so nice to take a day off of classes and just enjoy the company of friends and family! Check back later to see pictures and how it all went next Tuesday!

Now if you would like some invitations for yourself...check my shop and grab some for your own party on the Fourth!

First Day of Summer!

Summer is here folks, and I couldn't be happier about it! Here come the ice-cream cones and popsicles for those hot summer afternoons! So here's some popsicle invitations to celebrate the first day of summer at the park! Take a visit to the shop and get your own customized popsicle invitations for your very own summer bash!

It's Flag Day!

Flags are lining the streets today and I just love the patriotism! It gets me excited for the 4th of July! And for all the treats that come with it!

So yummy, right?!

My Fair Share of Themed Parties

It all started with my niece's Pink Party...

 Then a G.I. Joe Party for my older brother. We're mature people, I promise...

A Rockband Party for my Dad...

A Nerd Party for my 18th Birthday...

And a Disco Dance with 70's attire!

So as you can see, I am a full supporter of themed parties. And don't think that grown adults won't get into it! As long as you've done your planning to make sure it'll be fun - people will dress up and get into the theme more than you'd think!

Give Me S'more Please!

My husband and I have been waiting anxiously for the weather to warm up so we can finally go camping together. We've got lots of friends that want to go camping this summer as well. And you know what that equals... A Couple's Campout! It's in the works, I'll keep you posted. But as we await the sunshine, I've been basking in s'more goodness!

S'mores Cookies by Martha Stewart

S'mores Bars by Lovin' From the Oven

Raspberry S'mores by Real Simple

 Just look at how creative people have gotten with the age-old treat! S'more cookies, s'mores bars, raspberry s'mores and more! You don't even have to go camping now to enjoy the s'more delight!

But I say nothing beats the deliciousness of an original s'more as you sit around a campfire while trying to avoid all the smoke. When the marshmellow melts the milk chocolate and you bite that crunchy graham cracker, nothings ever tasted better. Or been as sticky. I hate the aftermath of a s'more. Good thing you forget about that part by the time you go camping again!
