Classroom Parties can be so much fun! Here is a candy buffet for my son's classroom. I didn't have a witch's pot on hand, so a white bowl it was for our smokey punch! Good times!!! Happy Halloween!

Chevron Inspired Bridle Shower

I was so honored to do a chevron inspired candy buffet for a dear friend's shower a few months ago! I basically added chevron EVERYWHERE and it was just too cute! The shower was at the Daily Grill in their patio and the candies chosen were the Brides Favorites...so it was a very SWEET day!

A Little Halloween Treat for all my friends!

I know it's a bit early,but I wanted you to all have a freebie in time for Halloween. Save this image and us it in your Halloween decor this year! It would be super cute in an 8 1/2x 11 frame on your counter or mounted on cardboard and hung around the house! Enjoy and an EARLY Happy Halloween to all!

Hawaiian Inspired Party

So my god friend Staci always lets me be very creative and have my way with her parties, for the most part, so for her daughter's last birthday she wanted a Hawaiian themed birthday. We had a little inspirations from Kara's Party Ideas and with some visits to organic farms, pinterest, online PB kids, and a whole lot of candy, her party was created. And it turned out fabulous! Thanks Staci for letting me create! Enjoy!

The Table...filled with sandwiches, chips, lemonade, cupcakes, fruit salad, birthday cake and some candies!

Party Goodie bags-also served as the Thank You Card! 

Cake by Chiffonos

These cute milk bottles were purchased from Organic Farms and washed several times and trimmed with some sugar!

The candies

We filled these white soup containers with turkey sandwhiches and of course had to label them!

Staci found these Hawaiian chips at Costco! They matched perfectly!

Filled clear cups with lids of fruit and stuck a wooden fork in it!

We lined the patio with all the pink hula skirts we found at Target for $1.00!

And the leis!

On of the fun parts of this party was the candy kabob making station! All the candies we would of had on a candy bar we put on a table for the girls to create their very own kabob! And later a Hula dancer came and taught the girls to Hula...fun party!

The Grinch's Garbage

Weird name, right? It's not even NEAR Christmas, but this is what my kids decided to call my new dessert. And boy it is so addicting my husband has asked to not make it again as he is trying to watch what he eats! This is how it all came about...one afternoon as I was preparing for a snack for my kids for after school I looked in my pantry and saw only marshmallows, Kix cereal, chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, and heath bar pieces. So, I decided to mix it all together like a rice crispie treat and voila...The Grinch's Garbage was created! Enjoy and add anything you like! It's all garbage!!! LOL

The Grinch's Garbage:
(Rough estimates, because I was literally just throwing it all in the pot...
4  or 5 cups marshmallows (I had large ones on hand)
1/4 cup butter (I had salted on hand, you could use whatever)
3 cups Kix
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup PB chips
1 cup Heath Bar chips

Directions:
Melt Butter
Throw in marshmallows, when they are almost all melted and gooey, throw all ingredients in and pour in a grease pan and let sit for 20 mins...then cut away...

*Again, all are estimates on this recipe, but the mixture of it all was truly amazing!

Busy Busy again

So here are a few more parties I was busy styling and creating since the last time I posted about a month ago. I just love being a part of celebrations. Always a special occasion. Enjoy and party on!

First up I styled an engagement party. The couple was moving out of town and we really didn't have a theme, just a look of eclectic and mis-matched pieces joined by fruit and good food. I was inspired by a fan that was sitting around the house and some old suitcases...from there we got quite a unique look. I just LOVED how it turned out. 

Sangria. Wine. Cheese. Grapes. And a whole lot of wine and water goblets added to the look.

 Desserts from Chiffonos

The inspirational fan that led the way!

Found this cute card in the dollar section of the Micheals Store

Then I had a wedding the following weekend at the Fig Garden Raquettte Club. This was a last minute candy buffet. The bride decided 4 days before the wedding she wanted a small candy buffet for her guests! I was up for any challenge and was pleased to be able to do one for her and her guests. It just happened to be the hottest summer day we had!!! But it was beautiful!

 Marshmallow Trees

 The rest of the wedding...

Then a graduation party for a dear friend!

More to come! Hope you enjoyed!
