Baubles and Bubbles

We will pretty much take any excuse to throw a party!  And when it involves good friends, delicious food, drinks and jewelry we're in!

Decor was kept simple for this jewelry party.  We used natural elements in artichokes, squash, and a few goards.  We added heaps of candles and bundles of babysbreath and the party prep was complete!

{An added bonus of using fruits or veggies in your decor is that you can send them home with your friends or use them for cooking yourself!}

Party Tip:  Do as much prep-work as you can before the day of the party.  Here I set up the gift table of candles the day before.

The Jewelry: Three separate lines: Bella Bloom, Brooks Originals, Jewelry by Veronique.  Baubles, baubles and more baubles!!! Once the jewels were set up I couldn't help but accent the table with some of our vintage finds!  I think it looked awesome!

The Food: Catered by Chef Simon was fantastic.  Everything from turkey burger sliders to miniature brie grilled cheese on rosemary bread with shots of tomato soup.  I ate, and ate, and ate!

The Sweets:  By Tickle Me Sweet.  Cheesecake bites, chocolate dipped strawberries, and brownie shots! Oh My!

Until the next party!

Cereal Box Pinata!

With my 3Gs being so close in age, it's almost like running a preschool over here~

You probably wont believe me but we make these "cereal" box pinatas almost once a week!!!

Hey, reduce, reuse, recycle right?

What cha'll need:

1. Any empty box laying around your house

2. Tissue paper, newspaper or even cute leftover party napkins!

3. Wire or paperclips (and a nail - not shown)

4. Some tape 

How To:

{Depending on the age of your little ones, these steps might be better left to the big kid}

~ Place treats or even a single "surprise" inside the box (new stuffed toy or lego to give your little one? what a great way for them to get their surprise!)

~ Wrap her up like a present

~ Bend a piece of wire or paper clip into a circle (set aside)

~ Poke two holes in side of box (for larger kids, poke holes on opposing sides of box for more stability)

~ Loop your wire "hook" through the box

Next, Make your fringe!!

Buzz isn't too great with the scissors so I cut up fringe in several colors so he & the other 2 Gs could have options when decorating!

~

Lay the boxes and fringe glue sticks and tape on a table &

turn craft night into a party night!

{we'll share how to make these fun semi home-make snacks and more traditional pinatas later this week!}

It's awesome to see their creative minds go to work!

No rules!  Just fun!

They turned out perfectly!!

Until tomorrow!
