Pie Pops!

I have been posting about food lately but I have a great reason I am preggo! lol But also food is really the key to any successful event! I found these incredible pie pops on luxirare.com

I am going to make these ASAP. Imagine sweet potato...YUM!

Don't they just look soooooooooo fun!

Christening Soiree

So a good friend of mine asked me for a few ideas to help her plan a Christening Party for her baby girl. To be honest I was stumped for a few minutes because I have never been too any such event--but I immediately fell in love with the idea. I am in the midst of working on a few things for her but I wanted to show you a few pictures of what I have found.

 Wouldn't this be a fantastic favor to give your guest along with a white pocket bible wrapped in pink ribbon!?! I am going to make her some standard laminate bookmarks but if funds were unlimited these would be fantastic!

Cross cookies for dessert! Love it! You can personalize theses with the babies name or leave them blank. Either way they would be a big hit! 

Check back soon for more details!!!

Desserts--OH MY

I was searching the web today for something to share and I came across an m&m advertisement. I clicked it and guess what I found...some amazing recipes!!! The recipes would be perfect for entertaining in your home or a small event (think kids birthday). Below is the link and as always if you try something let me know!

Baby Shower

I came up with the idea to have my baby shower theme be the gift. I pitched a few ideas to my bff's and they really turned it out. They really made my day special--There were so many little details and we all know...that's where the love is! Here are a few pictures!

Happy Birthday Party

Ok so I am planning a birthday party for a little girl...it is next February! Please don't judge me! lol Here are the three themes I came up with:

• Aries Tea Party 
• The little girls would design their own hats and have wonderful desserts and learn etiquette

•  Made: I want to be a ballerina
• Each little girl will receive a custom made tutu with her initials on it and someone will come in and teach them a few ballet moves.

•  Diva's Day Spa
• Mani's and Pedi's and facials oh my! All little girl approved of course. 

What do you think blog world? I need feedback! Oh she will be 6yrs old...

Host/Hostess Gift

Well I never really give host/hostess gifts since I am the person who normally throws the parties! But on the rare occasion someone else has a shindig, I stick with the traditional bottle of wine...boring, I know! But I was searching online and found the cutest host/hostess diy gifts on at home with kimvallee and I will definitely be adding it to my bag of tricks.

They seem easy...please let me know if you make them. I think they would make great holiday gifts for co-workers, teachers and anyone else who you just want to give a little something too. 

Weekend Wedding

My husband went to a wedding this weekend and took photos for me since I could not be in attendance. He is such a sweetie! I love when people jazz up the idea of their guest book. Kudo's Steve and Lorainne for such a great idea!

Each person filled out a card and put it in an envelope, that will keep their precious words forever!

Cake Pops

Ok I am in love with Bakerella...She is a genius with sweets! I think I love her as much as I love HWTM Blog look at these wonderful creations!

So cute!!! I told you she was a genius!

My Wedding 8-2-08

My wedding is when I fell in love with the details of planning.
Theme: The Greatest Love Song

 The girls wore strapless champagne tea length dresses with a chocolate sash.

Ivory roses with pink tips

We did open seating and instead of a traditional guest book we did a guest box!

We followed the traditional African American tradition and jumped the broom. However, as an added twist we asked guest to sign a ribbon and tie it around our broom to give us their blessing.

We wanted to provide Kleenex for our guest in a creative way...they were a big hit!

If I could do it all over again...I would! I have found so many wonderful ideas butI since I can't do it again I hope to inspire you! Showers, birthday parties and weddings...Oh My!
