And We're Back

Long time no see! Apparently being a senior in college is more work than we thought! :)

So lets get down to business now that we have a minute to actually breathe! With out further a do, as promised, the picnic potluck reveal, mother daughter sneak peak, and a fun creative quick get together!

Picnic Potluck


To go with the picnic theme we used all plastic cutlery,simple solo glasses ( we served only tea and bug juice :) "Pink Lemonade") , and lastly quick and easy Styrofoam plates.

Funny story, if you noticed in the sneak peak post I mentioned wanting a six pack of glass Coke bottles. Now I don't know if it's because we are in a small town or what but you would think being far enough South we would be able to find them! But sadly no. So crush it was and apparently it did its job well because everyone wanted one!

Simple pails from Wal-Mart served as cutlery holders.


And a picnic wouldn't be complete without a few friends! These guys are the product of some Styrofoam balls, pipe cleaners, black spray paint, and a little hot glue!

Tie it all together and VIOLA! Picnic Pot luck in a flash!

Simple,Creative, Fun!= Calendar party!

This is such a fun idea! And it requires little effort on the host/hostess. The idea here is that each guest comes dress as a holiday! Now if your having trouble find a holiday have no fear! There are plenty of calendars out there that claim everyday a holiday, like this one.

Here are just some ideas for you based on our Calendar party!


Grand parents day-Dress like an elderly person
Valentines day- Wear pinks and reds and hearts
Cinco de Mayo- Sombrero, bold colors, maracas
Teacher Appreciation Day- Dress in your best teacher outfit
Black Friday- Wear all black for starters, then get creative
Mardi Gras- Beads, purples, yellows, and greens

There are so many cute ideas out there and this a good way to get guest to break the ice. This would be a great get together over a movie and games or even dinner!

Stay tuned for tutorials and our next upcoming event... SPRING FORMAL!
