The ceremony will be lost on the new babe, but the joy and happiness that surrounds the family and friends is that certain kind of special that can breathe new energy into days that pass … [Read more...]

(Used in this project: Oval Tags in Lil' Bug style.) I just can't stop writing about these little noisemakers. This post is similar to a previous post about Stella's birthday but here are details on how to assemble them. I remember these from my childhood. How I loved the blast of sound you get when a dozen little kids in a small room blow as hard as they can on these things! As the mom, I am happy to report they don't last long. But while they do, here is a way to make the party just that … [Read more...]

Ice Cream Party Sprinkle Favors from My Own Ideas blog #party #shavuot #dessert #favor #packaging #label

(Used in this project: Square Labels in Champagne style.) Ok. So here’s my thing about ice cream parties. I LOVE THEM! So easy and oh so fun to make! “Shavuot” is the name of the Jewish holiday celebrating the receiving of the Torah (Ten Commandments) on Mount Sinai. It is customary to eat dairy products such as blintzes, cheesecake and ice cream. And honestly, this is one custom we are oh SO ‘religious’ about. We will create a delicious ice cream bar with various toppings … [Read more...]

Or the home itself at a … [Read more...]

A group of about twelve of our friends got together, pooled our money and rented a large, beautiful beach house near Lincoln City.

(Used in this project: Circle Labels and Scallop Tags in Kashmir style.) Whether your feet contend with high heels, hard floors, and long days or get a workout in runners and gardening clogs, they deserve a little pampering, right? When I come in from the garden in my very favorite gardening flip flops I'm sure to leave a dirt trail behind me. But even after a hot shower and a quick sweep, my feet still ache from the pounding they just took. I made up a herbal foot soak just to pamper my … [Read more...]
