good vs. great #2- relabeling and repackaging

Relabeling and repackage is another tiny, inexpensive detail that can take your party from good to great.  Anyone can create a simple label on their computer in Word using the colors of their party.  Depending on your computer skills, add a border and simple clip art.  Print your label on a full sticker sheet (which you should always have on hand), trim and cover up

Make It Monday- Blow Me A Kiss

I am so excited to share this Make It Monday with you with you!  I love these.  This came to me very late one night while I was brainstorming phrases for my Valentine’s party. These Blow Me A Kiss tubes are cute, witty and of course can be done in any combination of colors. I used plastic gumball tubes available here but you could easily use plastic chocolate

good vs. great- ombre candy jars

 On New Year’s morning, I was sitting with my daughter, Audrey, sharing some personal goals we wanted to achieve in the new year.  I have a lot of parties in the work (which I am VERY excited about), so I began reflecting on what makes a good party great.  Then I remembered a little quote I saw….. Tiny Details- often simple and inexpensive and most

Make It Monday- Valentine’s Wreath

Ready for the next holiday? I love Valentine’s Days.  Pink, candy, hearts- all my favorite things.   I saw a wreath similar to this project on Pinterest and decided to personalized it a bit to match the theme of my Valentine’s party. I actually love the color and material used on this wreath above but wanted to match the wreath to my valentine’s party invitations (available

Parties in Bloom: New Year’s Eve Party

  Our newest Person in Bloom, Dannyelle from Life Is A Party, used our party flags at her beautiful New Year’s Eve Party.  I love how she added the jewel accent to the flags and her predominately silver color scheme color.  The mercury glass candle sticks and the mirrored balls all add the perfect sparkle to the New Year’s celebration and the clocks in the

Make It Monday- Pinterest Board

Happy 2012.  One of my goals last year was to learn about Pinterest.  I signed up over the summer but kept putting it off because I thought it would be to difficult to learn.  I was so wrong.  I have spent the last few weeks on the site and absolutely love it.  I’m sure most of you are familiar with it, but just in case,

Happy New Year’s Eve

Couldn’t resist.  We are have some friends over tonight to celebrate and had to share this last picture with you. My favorite party to date (did I say that before?).  I’ll share the rest with you in 2012!XO

Parties in Bloom: Holiday Party

I thought I’d use my last post of the year to share another party from my friend, Lauren, who has really been a huge support and source of encouragement this year.  Lauren used many of the same elements in this party that she did in her red and green holiday party shown here but in a more formal, sophisticated color scheme of black and silver.  I love

New Year’s Eve Motto

Nicole from Nicole’s Guide To Style  (and also my dear sister) asked me to do a New Year’s Eve printable package for a party she and her husband of seven months are hosting.  Nicole’s style is sleek, elegant and modern, so the silver and charcoal color scheme was a perfect choice to reflect her personal style.  I showed some of the printables on Monday and
