{Friday Fave} Chalkboards

You might remember this chalkboard that my husband made me for my cousin Christina's Medical School Party. Well, now it is displayed in our dining area and I love it!

{Creationz} DIY Pillow Box

Hi everyone. Hope you are all having a great week!

I wanted to share this little pillow box I made. I made it with scraps of paper and things I had in my craft closet. I first started making this trying to come up with a cute treat box for Halloween goodies. It turned into this and I know it doesn't look very "Halloweenish" but I love how it turned out and you could easily make some that are more fitting for Halloween. This was free to make because I just used scraps of things I already had on hand but even if you had to buy supplies I think it would definitely be worth it because you could use it in sooo many way. This would be great for Halloween treats like I said, or as place cards for a wedding, as favors for a party, or even to hold stocking stuffers! Be on the lookout because there may be a tutorial coming soon! ;o)

{Creationz} Super Mario Mushroom Cake Pops

This past weekend I made these little guys for a party my friend Rosie was attending.

They are the little mushrooms from the Super Mario video game. :o) Me and my kids also made some different ones a little later in the day and I'll share those in another post coming up!...

See some other events I helped Rosie with here and here.

{Creationz} Silly Monster Cake Pops

Did you catch the cake pops I shared earlier?

Well, I have some more to share!! My kiddies always get excited when cake pops are being made and I knew they were gonna love the mushroom cake pops so I thought I'd make some more for them and let them decorate them later in the day.

{Magazine Monday} Messy Themed Party

Melanie Acevedo

Today's magazine favorite comes from the Real Simple Family, Fall 2011 issue.

This party comes from an article called Birthday Bashes on a Budget and is filled with three different party themes. The idea behind this one is an idea all kids love...making a mess. I love the look of the "splatter" cupcakes and cookies. Pick up the magazine on the stands now or check out the article here for more great party ideas.
