Golf Party Ideas/Inspiration

A friend was talking about golf today at work - I have tried to golf and that is good enough for me lol... I do kick butt in mini-golf, though!

Here is some Frosting to add to your Golf theme event...

Super cute tablecloth idea - argyle patterns are a must in a golf theme!  Source

How clever are these lunch baskets for the kids?! Glue golf balls to the bottom of inexpensive baskets.  Source

Wrap "club" sandwiches in coordinating paper and add a tee - so adorable! Source

Other fun golf themed food... pretzel "hole flags", donut "bucket of balls" and blue Kool-aid as "Water Hazard"! So clever! Source

Fondant even the most novice baker can do! Cut round green circles, mini black circles and roll tiny white golf balls (secret, just a little dab of water will "adhere" each piece to each other).  Add tiny hole flags to toothpicks and you have an easy and awesome dessert!

party add on!

Star Wars Party Ideas/Inspiration

Whew! I am back (and so are all my pictures!) What a nightmare!

Here is some inspiration for your Star Wars theme!

Re-purpose this Valentine's Day idea for an invite!  Just add cutouts (or sticker if you can find them!) and pixie sticks! Source

Love the gray star background and lightsabers on her tabletop! Search the kids toyboxes and use in your decor! Source

Use food to create sand and mounds to setup a fun scene for StarWars toys along your table! Source and tutorial

Hopefully pool noodles will be out soon with the season change... buy a bunch, add tape and instant inexpensive (and safe!) lightsabers for everyone! Source

oopsie!!!

Please tell me I am not alone... I hit the delete key this weekend and deleted ALL my photos - now my "day" job is in technology so I should be embarrassed... but deleting an empty folder it asks me "are you sure"?... but delete the whole thing, no asking?! ...well, all is not lost, just have to restore everything UGH! So party on without me... should be back tomorrow! hugs!

Winnie the Pooh Party/Baby Shower Theme Ideas/Inspiration

WOOT! another 3 day weekend for me! Hope the weather holds to what we have been having this week - it's mid 60's here! LOVE it! Come on Spring!!! Can't wait to get outside!

Here are some ways to add a touch of Frosting to your Pooh Party/Baby Shower! Also, don't forget about this older, but still fresh!, Frosting for a Pooh Party/Baby Shower (here)

Pooh theme doesn't have to be cartoony! How sweet is this honey table?! Lovely and rustic! Source

Take pages of Pooh books, insert into printer and print Pooh characters on them! Creative, inexpensive banner idea! Source

Honey rock candy with Pooh tags would be such a beautiful favor! Aren't you loving the yellow and brown together?! Source

Appetizers/Desserts... in cones!

You know I am a sucker for presentation! Here are some ideas to Frost your next appetizer/dessert table...using cones!

Wrap up anything (including these wrap "pizzas") and serve in a fancy display to add instant awesomeness! Source (display rack here)

How clever is this!? Just stab the mini cone into sliced fruit (or veg) to help it stand upright! Source

You could also use napkin rings as your stability! You could even do shot glasses or anything round! Source

Fill cones with fudge and wrap up pretty to create favors! Source

Peas in Pod twin baby shower!

Twins run in my family so let's hope when we are ready to start a family we aren't looking for twin themes ;o)

Here are some ways to Frost your Peas in a Pod shower!

A cute invite would be 2 circle and a half felt circle as the pod! Source

Love the pops of different shades of green in this setup! Super clever idea - they used round paper lanterns as "peas"! Source

Use wash clothes or hand towels (depending how big you want) and round bath fizzes as decorations or favors! Extra fun would be to use a cookie cutter of the letter of the names and imprint! Source unknown (have searched for hours!)

Simple fondant anyone can do! Two pieces of green fondant, 2 balls of fondant - tada! Source
