Black and White Themed Christmas!

Yes, I know, it's been awhile since I've posted a party or two. But trust me, I've had a party or two or three or more. So I thought I should at least give you a little inspiration for your Christmas table. 

Last year I decided on Christmas décor that was not the traditional red and green.

DIY Polka Dot Glasses & Mugs!

You've got polka dots and stripes in your future if you click on this post.  Today is the last of the polka dot party. I wanted to make sure my stemware and mugs were part of the décor.  I loved that they coordinated with the theme and when the party was over, they could be washed and ready for the next event.  I've got dots more for you to see!

I painted the champagne flutes and wrapped the wine glasses, take a look~

Gingerbread Birthday Cookies!

Do you think it was weird that I made gingerbread cookies for a Birthday Party in March?  Let me tell you why...I had a stamp.  An imprint stamp that said Happy Birthday and I wanted to use it.  Gingerbread was the first cookie that came to mind which wouldn't have to be frosted, leaving the message perfectly clear.

What I'm really trying to say is, Gingerbread... it's not just for Christmas!

Black & White Birthday Party!

 Today it's all black and white...polka dots and stripes.  That was the theme for the recent birthday party I hosted.  How did I come up with that idea?  Actually, I had two ideas floating around in my head, kept tossing them back and forth.  Then I went shopping... in every window, I seemed to see black and white polka dots and stripes.  And I found the perfect polka dot dress.  So that, my friends is how this party began...
