Sweet Paul

A little weekend reading took me to the digital magazine, Sweet Paul. The latest issue was completely devoted to kids and full of recipes, DIY projects and adorable photos. Here are few of the highlights...

My favorite thing has to be this polka dot milkshake. A strawberry milkshake with marshmallows creates the look. How perfect would this be for a pink and white polka dot party?

And these monster hand tattoos would make fantastic party favors or party activities...I can see building a whole party around them!

There were also some great recipes. Loving these Ricotta and Parmesan Frittatas.

DIY crafts too...a pom pom wreath. Another great party decoration, just imagine the colors this could be made in!

And last but certainly not least, look what they've done with cardboard boxes! How cute are these?? And my thought is, wouldn't it be fun to assemble one before your party, and then let the kids decorate it? The painting could be a fun (messy though of course)...but you could always just cut out a bunch of big shapes, like the star and flower, and let the kids stick them on. Crayons work great on cardboard too. And then your little one has an amazing playhouse afterwards.

Read the entire magazine here. You'll be entertained and inspired, I promise! Hope you all had a lovely weekend.

Happy Weekend!

This image just makes me happy. Hope it does the same for you.

I think I'll have to order some fabric swatches. The hunt for our new living room couch has begun!

Happy Friday!

*PS Clients* A tractor, a fiesta and some orange polka dots

A few recent projects...

Cupcake toppers done in a John Deere theme...so cute for a little boy's party!

A custom Fiesta themed invitation and cake topper. This little girl is going to have a fun 1st birthday!

And an orange and teal party for Hudson. This might be my new favorite color combo.

Oscar Fashion

Blogland will surely be full of Oscar posts this morning, but I just had to throw in my take too. I'll keep it (relatively) short and sweet.

So lets just get down to it...my favorite? Halle Berry. LOVE that dress. Lots of sparkle and that frothy goodness at the bottom.

And my second favorite? Mila Kunis for sure. That color on her is amazing.

Gwyneth Paltrow was super chic in this sleek Calvin Klein

And speaking of chic...Michelle Williams is just darling with her pixie cut

And on the end of the color spectrum...I love this dress on Camila Alves. I think I'm a sucker for a big full skirt.

And last but certainly not least, Helen Mirren. A true classic beauty.

I'm likely missing some great ones, but these are the ones I remember off the top of my head. So what about you? Which were your favorites?

Yellow, pink, green...oh my!

It's been a rainy day here, so when I came across this bright and cheerful wedding on Style Me Pretty I just had to share. Yellow, pink and green...this bride went all out in the color department! It certainly puts a little Spring into a dreary day.

Beautiful, right?
