Mickey Mouse Birthday Party!

My nephew's 3rd birthday was this past week and he requested a Mickey Mouse birthday party. Character parties make me cringe because I immediately think of decor found at Party City - yikes! My sister hates primary colors so that made this party even more tricky (since Mickey wears RED and YELLOW). I'm always up for a challenge though and I had a lot of fun creating this party. The theme was 'Silhouette' Mickey -- It turned out so cute and Jackson had such a fun party! 

For the backdrop, I covered a board with pinwheels made out of newspaper.

Happy Birthday Jackson!

Easter Party!

This HAS to be my favorite party/sweets table so far! I know I say that a lot, but I really mean it this time ;). I love Easter, so of course I loved planning this party for my MOPS group and our kids. Oh and I LOVE my MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) ladies; we have such a great time together and our kids get along great! I invited them all out to my parents house for a play date and egg hunt. We couldn't have asked for more sunshine - it was a beautiful morning! Big thanks to AMY ATLAS for featuring the party on her blog!

Peanut butter rice krispie bird's nests

Vanilla bean bunny ear cupcakes!

Love this banner I found at Pottery Barn Kids!

The children's chairs were adorned with white fluffy tails!

Kiddos snacked on hummus and carrots in mini terracotta pots, bunny cheese sandwiches and goldfish "disguised" as carrots ;)

I found these metallic easter eggs and the pink tin at the $1 spot at Target!

Thanks to Shindig Parties on Etsy for these water bottle labels!

I love how the sugar cookies turned out!  So fun working with Easter pastels.

Picked this garland up at PBK as well!  Saved me the trouble of making my own :)

Our guest of honor! A baby chick we rented from Rocklands Farm.

And of course an Easter Egg hunt!

Cherry Blossoms Shoot - As seen on Amy Atlas!

So excited to have the following photos featured on Amy Atlas, the Queen of Dessert Tables!
I was able to take a few pictures of a sweets table I created right under two huge cherry trees in my parents front yard... (saved me the trouble of going downtown with the swarms of people!)  The cherry blossoms have already come and gone which is so hard to believe! It always feels like the blossoms fall off in the blink of an eye.

Chevron Engagment Party

Over the weekend I created a dessert table for my best friend's engagement party! I used a chevron pattern throughout the table and love how it came together.

A jar of her favorite cookies and a jar of his favorite.

The shot glasses were used later for vanilla milkshakes, the groom-to be's favorite. :)

Happy engagement, Jen and Brandon!

Crazy About CHEVRON!

These might be my favorite cookies yet. I love this pattern!

St. Patty's Day!

Nothing says St. Patrick's Day like green cake pops!
