4th of July Centerpieces!!

These are a few of my favorite centerpiece ideas for 4th of July!

1. Easy Sand Candles - I have a TON of these glass candle holders left from our wedding. We have recycled them for lots of different party themes and ideas, so I am always looking for ideas on how to use them for upcoming holidays, etc. These easy sand candles are from Martha Stewart!
2. The Happy 4th of July yard sign is a FREE download from Elle's Studio!
3. Hydrangeas are one of my favorite flowers to cut right out of the yard, so of course I loved this flower arrangement from The Party Dress!
4. Tissue Pom-Poms always seem to make an appearance at our parties, so I thought these red, white, and blue pinwheels would be a nice alternative!!
5. The adorable Patriotic Paper Lollies are from Make and Takes!! They are nicknamed lollies because they look like giant lollipops! You could make these in a variety of sizes for different decorations (napkin rings, hat pins, etc. ).

Feel free to comment with any links or e-mail any of your favorites!!

Don't forget to enter to win the Cutey Booty giveaway!!

4th of July Party Circles!!!

Are you ready for 4th of July?
Add some detail and decoration to your celebration by downloading your FREE 4th of July Party Circles!!

I am always looking for new ideas for our party circles, so this holiday I am going to add them to our sandwiches! Jazz up those burgers, barbeque sliders, or sandwiches with some holiday flare. :) Just print, punch with a 2 inch scallop punch, and attach a small skewer (or toothpick) with a large glue dot.

Of course, we will be adding them to our cupcakes too! I backed these with a solid scrapbook paper. I found some red, white, and blue lollipop sticks at AC Moore that matched perfectly.

(Of course, our cupcakes will be more festive! Hubby and I were just dying to try these sweet Oreo ice cream cupcakes from Cold Stone Creamery. The "liner" is even made from chocolate!!!)



You can use them as favor tags for those sparklers or other fun treats.
You can also use these as napkin rings by attaching them to a piece of ribbon and wrapping around your silverware. I do this a lot for picnics or cookouts. It makes picking up a napkin and silverware easy when you can just grab the bundle.
Any other ideas????

Download here!!
As always, I would love to see pictures of your creations. Feel free to e-mail them to me. :)

Have you met Nora Fleming?

I LOVE these unique Nora Fleming platters and creative minis (the minis are the decorative hand painted pieces that plug-in to the platter). This is one of my favorite gifts because you can always add on to it by giving different minis or platters. There are a variety of different white platters and a ton of minis that you can add to the platters. They have minis for all the holidays, seasons, special celebrations, and various themes. It is also great to store just one platter that can be used for all occasions.

These minis are perfect for 4th of July.....



All the platters are microwave and dishwasher safe too. The new casserole dish is even oven safe.


This is the perfect platter for all occasions. They are always coming out with new minis too! If you live in the Charleston area, you can buy them at The Silver Puffin and The Clothes Horse. There is a complete list of retailers on their website and be sure to sign-up for e-mail offers.

4th of July Treats

4th of July is just around the corner and I am busy collecting ideas for the festivities. Here are a few of my favorites!!

These adorable "pie" cupcakes were featured at The Funambulist Damsel. Can you guess what makes those blueberries and cherries??? You guessed it - Red and Blue M&Ms. The "crust" is made from vanilla icing mixed with 4 drops of yellow food coloring and 1 1/2 teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa.

I LOVE Rice Krispy Treats, so of course I think these are adorable. (Wish I could remember where I found these to give credit, but they have been in my 4th of July file for years.)

These festive treat cones were featured on Martha Stewart. You could fill them with chips, popcorn, or some yummy sweets.

As 4th of July approaches I will be sharing some of my favorite ideas to celebrate the holiday! If you have any ideas of your own, feel free to share. Send me an e-mail or post a link in the comment section.

Party in the Park

I love the blue and red colors and sweet details of Jack's Party in the Park from Sarah, owner and designer behind Jack and Izzy. These adorable frisbee invitations kicked off the Party in the Park!!




Doesn't this dessert table look yummy?!?!

I am so excited about this Cupcake Tree for the same reasons Sarah chose it. It holds 36 cupcakes, folds flat, and can be decorated to fit your theme. SWEET!!!


I love these marshmallow pops. Find these super-sized marshmallows here!! Dip in melted chocolate, add sprinkles, package in treat bags, add a cute tag, and VOILA!!! You have a cute addition to your dessert table.

Love the idea of boxed lunches and the presentation is precious. Check out the coordinating labels on the tops of the lunch boxes and water bottles. Those extra touches and attention to detail make the party!!

How cute are the flags in these centerpieces??


The personalized favor bags held treats that the fit the park theme, water gun, sidewalk chalk, and a personalized water bottle.


Love the favor bag toppers!!


Even the games in the park had cute labels.

After the party, Sarah send out these thank you postcards. I am a BIG fan and believer of writing thank you notes for gifts. I love the idea of these sweet photocards from Katie. Check out the cute designs in her Etsy shop.

Be sure to visit Jack and Izzy for more pictures and details!!
