Tea Party Fun

I was lucky enough to have Sara from Boutique Baby Photography photograph her sweet little daughter having a tea party with our Tea Party Princess kit.  Looks like lots of messy fun was had!  I am offering the Tea Party Goodie Bag as a freebie!  Check it out!  You can also find our Tea Party Printable Party Kit here on Etsy.

New Thanskgiving Day Set

We have a new set up for Thanksgiving and I was very excited to work with the cute creations of Lisa from sushiluna.  Add a little magic to your cake or cupcakes with her awesome fondant toppers.  She created this set for me:

And here's how I used it:

On top of a cake I actually bought at Walmart for $6 and then "spruced up" with Lisa's fondant toppers.  Much more festive now!

 

Very cute on top of cupcakes!  The kids will love them!  They are almost too cute to eat.....almost!

 

 

Lisa now has this set available in her shop here! You also HAVE to check out her facebook page.  She makes gorgeous cakes! You can find our new Thanksgiving Printable Party kit here.  In the mood for some turkey yet? 

 

Our First Baby Shower Kit

These little guys are sure to be a hit at your baby shower.  Kit features a personalized invite, flag banners, goodie bags and much more!  You can find it here in our shop!

Thanksgiving Dinner!

Here's a fun way to host your Thanksgiving dinner. The kids will love it and so will the adults! The invite card can also be used as a reminder card for those of us who have trouble remembering dates!  And the lil ones will love the turkey coloring page (and it will keep them occupied while you're fixin' dinner!).  I also created this kit with teachers in mind (since my hubby is one).  I thought this would be great for Thanksgiving classroom parties. You can find this fun printable kit here.

How to create an awesome party (and not spend very much money)!

The best way to do a party within a budget is to start with a list.  Envision what you want the party to look like and write down the supplies you are going to need.  Now hit the dollar store!  I always start here and sometimes come across something I like better than what I had on my list.  For my Barnyard theme, I had wanted tin pots for the bird's nests, but when I saw the red polka dot boxes I totally changed my mind.  (I also thought they would be great to reuse for Christmas!).  Next you want to hit your Walmart or Target.  Walmart has the cheapest cardstock that I have found.  Also check out their fabric section.  They sell small fabric pieces for a good price.  That is where I found that cowhide fabric.  I always hit Michaels last and take a coupon!  You can usually find coupons on their website.  

For the Barnyard theme, I spent under $50 between the Dollar Store, Walmart and Michaels for the following: haybale, candy melts, cow sprinkles, sprinkle set (for chicks), 2 boxes, gingham shelf liner, flower styrofoam, crinkle paper, pretzels sticks, Marshmellows, cowhide fabric, lollipop sticks, milk duds (for milk carton treat boxes), Smartfood, cardstock.

Barnyard Friends

This set was so much fun to create and photograph!  Clare and Reilly had lots of fun last night helping me create the yummies for the photo shoot.  I have just listed this set on Etsy here.   Check back over the next few days for fun party ideas and tips on how to do an awesome party for under $100!

We were featured!

Just thought I'd offer you a little sneak peak of our next set - Barnyard Friends.   I'll be listing the set this week along with some yummy recipes and freebies!

Have a great Sunday!

 

Inspiration!

I am working on a new Tea Party Printable Party Kit and was looking around for some edible toppers for the photo shoot.  I came across these VERY cute Tea Party Toppers that are just so delicate and sweet.  I am telling you that I could never get my fingers to do something so intricate and petite!  You can find these pretty little toppers here in parkersflourpatch's store on Etsy.  I'm feeling inspired!

Lil Cowboy

Here is one of our latest kits - perfect for any Lil Cowboy.   The set features 70+ pages of Rootin' Tootin' Party Fun!  Extras include a Pin the Tail on the Pony and Wanted Posters that you can personalize or add your own pic for the birthday boy or girl.  Another fun idea would be to create a wanted poster for each child attending the party. 

Reilly and I are inspired to try to make some white-chocolate dipped pretzels with red & blue sprinkles to match.  I'll share a pic next week.  In the meantime, you can check out our freebies page for a Cowboy Colour Page.  This is also included in the Party Kit along with a Cowgirl colour page.

Yippeee Yaiii Yeeaahhh!  Have a great weekend!
