a little organizing (freebie)

I found these organizing tags at The Rubber Punkin and today I put them to use in my laundry room. I could have just made some myself, but she made it easy just to fill in the words I wanted and I didn't have to really think about too much. Check out the other colors and kids tags she has for you to have for FREE!

Easter Inspiration for Tables

Valentines Party!

The party was a big hit! It was a lot of work and I was pooped when it was over. My little one ended up running around in the back yard most of the time and then joined in the end to make us some cards with glitter pen blobs all over it and a few stickers. Speaking of glitter... remind me not to have that available next time. There is glitter from one end of my house to the other.

Fun had by all!

I had plans to wrap my cupcakes with liners I made, but here we are with those paper liners that start out so pretty and end up looking like this~ ugh! I made these cupcake toppers that match my labels and banner

Listen, of all things I am... I never said I was a baker. These were kinda cuter in real life.

the cups were really cute. I made these little "be my valentine" tags at the last minute and added these heart marshmallows for a little sweet touch. Oh, and don't forget the extra sugar around the rim.

Our craft table was very girly. Full of all stuff needed to make things pretty!

Centerpiece and craft supplies all on a lazy suzan I painted pink. It made things easy to share.

dum dum topiary, I used for her Circus party. I just recovered the box for Christmas and now for Valentines. I've had to refill lots of missing dum dums. Wonder who keeps stealing them???
