Silhouette

I suck at updating my blog, in fact I think it's been a year since I posted something last. So...why post something now??? Well...one of my favorite bloggers is giving away a silhouette and I WANT IT! Check out how awesome this machine is, I've had my eye on it for months now.

Giving credit where credit is due

So I found this amazing blogger who shares the same passion of party planning as me. Her blog is http://karaspartyideas.blogspot.com/ I've spoken with her via email a couple of times now and she has been extremely helpful. She did a carnival theme party for her two boys this past June and it was amazing! I got so many great ideas from her! I like to put my own spin on things so I don't feel like I'm completely copying her. =o) Just wanted to say thanks Kara! I look forward to seeing more parties you plan!

Popcorn Cupcakes for Eli's B-day

Popcorn cupcakes would make the perfect treat at a Carnival Circus theme party or a Movie Night Party. Cakes by Jen has fun Popcorn Cupcakes that would be great for your party. Here is how she created these delicious treats:

1. Bake your cupcakes in regular cupcake liners
2. Ice the cupcakes with buttercream or frosting of your choice
3. Using scissors, snip the top of mini marshmallows twice in opposite directions to form an ‘X’.
4. Arrange the marshmallows on top of the cupcakes
5. Lightly spray the marshmallows with yellow color mist to resemble butter
6. Color red stripes on Wilton Nuts & Party Cups and attach a “Popcorn” sticker to the front
7. Place the finished Popcorn Cupcake with liner into the party cups.
8. Enjoy!

Eli's Birthday Ideas

Although Eli's second birthday is two months away I'm already planning his birthday, it's what I love to do! This year's theme is Circus Carnival and I've already got most of it planned in my head. This year we're going to Puerto Rico around his birthday so I'm starting early so I don't have the stress of a trip and birthday so close together. Wish me luck!
