I don’t have any new parties to add at the moment, so here is an old one that I never posted. We did a Lemon and Lime theme for an Appreciation party. The platters were made from cups and plates from the Dollar Tree. The cups were spray painted and apoxy’ed to the bottom. The placemats are cut from my cricut with the lace cartridge.
I got the privilege of throwing a 40th birthday party for one of my best friends a couple weeks ago. It was fun to have a bunch of ladies over to celebrate with her. Here are the pictures taken by my friend Amy (who does a WAY better job taking pictures than I do… thanks Amy).

Love these paper fans. Idea from Pinterest

These are so good! I served them at a New Years Party last year. Here is the recipe!
Also very yum! I love this site for cute little bite size recipe ideas. Click HERE for recipe
Sweet and Sour Meatballs brought by my sweet friend Jessica.
Angie loves this awesome FRUIT SALAD that I make for a lot of events and it is always a hit.
Thanks to Lindor Chocolates for Red and Black wrapped yumminess to go with the color theme.
How cute are these little cups and spoons from Amazon.com!! This recipe was specifically for guests with food allergies. I always like to try to have a little something for them. This Coconut Chocolate Mousse has only 3 ingredients! Recipe found HERE and you have to be careful on which brand of coconut milk you use. I used Chaokoh brand (and I did the suggestion of pouring it into a bowl and letting it get cold in the fridge overnight).

oh man these were amazing. I probably ate a third of them. (of course I was starving because I don’t take time to eat on party days.) Too bad prosciutto is so expensive or I would make these all the time. Recipe HERE

I have made this for years from an old Pampered Chef cookbook. And now I see they have the recipe online HERE

water plus frozen strawberries

These cranberry martinis were so yummy and aren’t they pretty! Recipe HERE. I did reduce the vodka for this party to 1 oz.
I got to use my chalkboard painted coasters again from this party. I bought these plain coasters and sprayed them with black chalkboard spray paint (takes around 3 coats) and then people could write on them with chalk to keep track of which drink was theirs.
These centerpieces contain Red LED submersible lights, clear water beads, and rose floating candles. I just put a ribbon around the vase and voila!

Happy birthday Angie!
A couple months ago, I hosted a small baby shower with a super fun and cute theme: Frogs, Snails, and Puppy dog tails. Here are a couple pictures:
Covered the table with burlap and covered the vases with darker brown burlap
I made “snails” from ham and a cream cheese pesto mixture rolled up in tortilla shells. My plan was to do THIS with pickles for the body, but my time ran out… still looked snail-like without that though! Frog candies and frog bath toys are from Amazon.
Puppy dog tails are crockpot little smokies. Here is the super easy recipe I used.
The yummy desserts are from Whole Foods bakery… yummo!
And the straws are also from Amazon.com
We just played one game and it was the baby shower Memory Game that I mentioned way back HERE.
For more ideas, check out my pinterest board and also check out these SUPER cute framed pictures from ETSY… LOVE this shop!!
