{Magazine Monday} Ring Pop Favors

Martha Stewart Weddings

I love me a good magazine! My Husband can vouch for that with the overflowing couple of stacks I have around the house. He will also tell you that when I buy a magazine {especially my favorites} it is money well spent because I treasure them and look back at them often for inspiration. So, I was thinking Mondays could now be "Magazine Mondays" where I will let you know about some of my favorite things from some of my favorite issues.

{Friday Fave} So Pinteresting!

Look what I "pinned" today...

Have you heard of Pinterest?? Where have you been!! I love it. It is like having little virtual bulletin boards for ...anything. You can have one for party ideas, make one to "pin" all your wedding ideas on to, maybe your favorite recipes...or how bout your favorite shoes?!! ;) While you are browsing the web you can just "pin" an image that you like to your boards...love it. I haven't pinned too many things yet but am going to try to add more soon. It's soooo addicting just looking around! Check it out!

Appreciation Apples



With my cousin's party last weekend and my daughter starting school soon {wiping my tears}... I have apples on the brain! I came across these on the Fiskars site and thought they were so cute and easy to make. They suggested this idea for teacher appreciation but I also love this as a cute way to leave a little surprise note from Mommy in your little one's lunch box.

{Creationz} Medical School Party



This past weekend I got to put together this party for my cousin Christina who was recently accepted into medical school. {Yay Chrissy!!} Many thanks to my Aunt for asking for my help because I had sooooo much fun with this party!

{Sneak Peek} Medical School Party

Here is another little teaser for an upcoming party I'm doing. I LOVE these vintage books. Aren't the covers gorgeous?!! They are old reader's digest books. I'll leave you with a few more pics of some...

{Sneak Peek} Medical School Party

Here is a little peek at an upcoming party for my cousin Christina.

Her Mom asked me to help with a party to celebrate her acceptance into medical school and I am so excited about how it is coming along. This is the invite that was sent out to everyone...a "Prescription to Party"! I can't wait to share more and hope you stop by again soon for another peek. I also have two other parties coming up soon so check back for those too!

I also wanted to mention some new things on the blog. The first is the truncated (condensed) posts. You'll notice the posts below have a short intro and then you will see "CLICK HERE TO READ MORE".  I thought this would let you browse through more posts and not have to scroll through tons of pics to get to the next. Just click on the link to open up the post. Also, I added a box in the right margin where you can subscribe to the blog. If you subscribe you will receive an e-mail whenever there is a new post.
