Bright Colored Favors

I have been fully immersed in homeschooling my kiddos for the first year.  I have abandoned the blogs, abandoned my hairbow business, I have a huge list of emails I need to respond to as well but my kids are happy and learning and I am soaking up these days with them!

Although I have not had time for much in the past month, I did manage to sneek in a little crativity so I thought I'd better share it!

A few weeks ago I lent a friend the party decorations from Cait's Firts Birthday.  I offered to bring favors as well.  The them was "For the Love of Chocolate" so naturally I went with a chocolate treat for the favor.  I bought chocolate filled Oreos, dunked them in melted chocolate, gave them some sprinkles and let them harden.  They were simple, cute and delicious.  I put them in plain little zip bags and added fun colored fold overs at the top.  I stapled the folded papers in place and accented them with fun colored ribbons.  So easy!!

Hello little tasty treats:)

I love all these colors together.  They are MY colors!  All my kids' clothes are these colors, their bedrooms are these colors, I just seem to gravitate toward them.  THey make me happy!

What projects are you working on these days?

stella & dot party and one final plea...

Last night I hosted a Stella & Dot party.  Lots of my favourite people came and the treats were delish.  Those two things alone make for a great night as far as I am concerned but then you add the gorgeous jewellery to the equation and oh my!

Look at this stuff!  It is so beautiful, so classy and really timeless.  I pretty much want everything but I am a realistic kind of girl so I just set my sights on a goal for some "free stuff" and did my best to invite everyone I knew.

Alas, I did not reach the goal.  Here comes the shameless plea...

Can you help?
Do you need some new bling
Do you WANT some new bling??
I have until tomorrow (Thursday) to get another $190 in sales in order to earn my goal and make all my dreams come true! {well at least satisfy my latest obsession anyways..}

If you want to shop, it's really easy.  Just go to the site HERE...follow the instructions from there and it should be easy peasy.  If it is not, call me, I can walk you through it.  250-864-4194.  Thanks so much friends!

Okay, back to the party...

I was super excited to have the last minute idea to put caprese salad in cupcake papers.  I love garden fresh heirloom tomatoes, basil, bocconcini cheese drizzled with olive oil and vinegar.  My favorite summer time appetizer.  I was going "plate free" for this party so the cupcake papers worked perfectly!

Bakerella inspired these treats.  I wasn't sure  if they would taste as good as she made them look {once you see the ingredients you will understand why} but they were a huge hit.  So delicious and I will be making them again very soon!

Speaking of Bakerella, this is my go-to adaptation on her amazing cake balls.  Aren't they cute?  They look like little bon bons!
