Super Bowl Inspiration Part I

So I had planned to do a whole week of this, but with my birthday the day before the Super Bowl…things have been a little hectic! :)

I still wanted to share some of my favorites and remember, you can always get some inspiration from my other football posts (just click on the football tag in the left sidebar!)

From Finer Things

From Hello Cupcake

From Simply Creative Insanity

Winter Parties

Although we’ve had a few balmy January days here in Alabama, we’ve also had quite a few really cold days (and even some snow!)

What better way to celebrate the cold weather than with a snow themed party!

Check out this cute inspiration board from Fine Stationary!

• Warm up after the snow adventure by watching Frosty the Snowman – Amazon.com

• Serve cool concessions like these snowman cupcakes – Martha Stewart

Sorry!

I know it has been a while, but there has been a lot going on in my world! 

I realize I didn’t finish my Christmas party countdown, but I think I’m just going to save them up for next year! :)

Anyway, things have sort of settled down and hopefully I’ll be back in the swing of things when it comes to posting!

Thanks for hanging in there with me! :)

12 Days of Christmas Parties: Day 4: Colorful Ornament Party

I saw this picture on Hostess with the Mostess,

I fell in love!!! Although she talked about how this would be perfect New Year’s decor, I thought about how much fun (and easy) it would be for a Christmas party. 

I loved the colors so much, I created a whole inspiration board around this image.  I thought it would be perfect for an ornament exchange party or even a present-wrapping party!
