No baseball-theme party is complete without peanuts, popcorn and some homemade … [Read more...]

Homemade Guacamole from My Own Ideas #recipe #homemade #cincodemayo #party #favor

(Used in this project: Circle Labels and Scallop Tags in Party style.) Homemade guacamole is one of my all-time favorite snack foods.

I want my guests to have some to take home for the end of the night. Homemade Guacamole • 3 Haas avocados, halved, seeded and peeled • ½ medium … [Read more...]

(Used in this project: Large Photo Labels and Text Labels in Cherish Hearts style with Paper Tin-Tie Bags.)

When I first learned to bake, this was the cake my mom taught me. My brothers and I loved it, and I am certain mom and dad did too, because we had it all the time! I never got tired of it.

(Used in this project: Large Circle Labels and Oval Tags in Briar Rose style with matching Note Cards.) Sometimes the way a gift is packaged can make it just that much more fun. If you have followed some of my posts in the past, I clearly have an affinity for mason jars. In fact, I have a overflowing collection of vintage or unique canning jars that I pick up from thrift shops or garage sales whenever I see them. Some of the jars are just too pretty to be stuffed with salsa and hidden in … [Read more...]

(Used in this project: Small Diamond Tags and Envelope Seals in Fest style.)

This recipe, adapted from Chockylit’s Cupcake Bakeshop, is one of my absolute favorite cupcake recipes of all time, and it’s worth the extra effort it takes to prepare. Plus, if you make a double batch of the Horchata, you’ll have enough to serve as a beverage during the … [Read more...]

Bird Seed Wedding Favors from My Own Ideas blog #evermine #favor #spring #summer #wedding

(Used in this project: Large Labels in Champagne style and Medium Paper Favor Bags.) Traditionally, wedding guests have thrown rice at the departing bride and groom to bid them fruitfulness. While some couples prefer confetti, rose petals, or even paper airplanes, there is bound to be some clean up involved. Choosing birdseed as a festive send off is a fun way to keep up with the tradition and is completely self cleaning! Your feathered friends will do the work at cleaning up the venue and … [Read more...]

Cupcakes are one of my favorite treats and are a fun alternative to a typical birthday cake. It's easy to choose your favorite cake mix, frosting and sprinkles to match your party theme and color palette. For Sarah's Sweet 16 birthday we chose a combination of bright pink and turquoise for her dessert table. As favors, we created our own boxes of cupcake mix complete with envelopes of sprinkles, matching cupcake liners and baking instructions for her friends to take home. Cupcake Mix … [Read more...]
