The Hubby's "Hole In One" Birthday
Scavenger Hunt
I saw this idea on The Dating Divas
and knew it was just what I needed
to put together Jeff's "Fore"ty first Birthday Gift.
Of course, I tweaked it a bit to make it our own.
I printed up 6 clues
Glued them to a golfing/plaid-ish paper
Cut out golfing shapes with my Silhouette machine
And put them all together
I attached a gift to each clue...
{golf socks}
{golf towel}

{golf shirt}
{golf balls}

{golf tees}
His friend showed up a few minutes after he found clue #6.
He held up a sign that said,
"I'm Clue #6...now go get your sticks"
{I know I took a picture but it has gone missing}
Before they left, I gave my hubby
a {HAPPY} bucket.

It was so much fun sending Jeff on
this Birthday Scavenger Hunt.
I hope you check out
The Dating Divas...
they have so many fun ideas to "date"
your spouse.
Blessings to you,
Kim

GROUNDHOG DAY SNACK
I saw this idea on Pinterest. Here is the link.
INGREDIENTS:
Chocolate pudding cups
Corn Flakes
Vanilla Wafers
1/2 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
Oreo cookie crumbs
DIRECTIONS:
*The first thing I did was get some vanilla wafers for the head and corn flakes for the ears.
*I melted some chocolate and put it in a piping bag with a small tip.
*I attached 2 corn flakes to the back of each vanilla wafer as the ears.
*On the front of each wafer, I piped on the eyes and nose.
*Then, I opened the chocolate pudding cups, sprinkled the tops with crushed oreos (just the chocolate part).
*Lastly, I stuck the "head" of the Groundhog down into the pudding so it looks like it's popping up.
The kiddos really enjoyed their Groundhog Day snack! :)
Blessings to you,
Kim

SANTA BABY CHRISTMAS PARTY
Here are some pictures from our Christmas Party.
We had a Mashed Potato-tini Bar
Ham and Brisket...YUM!!
DESSERT TABLE
Peppermint Cupcakes
(Vanilla cupcakes with Vanilla Coconut Buttercream Frosting)
I saw these adorable North Pole cupcakes on
Kara's Party Ideas
I got these darling martini glasses at the Dollar Tree!! I made flags with
each guests name for them to attach to their glass...it's kind of hard to see in this pic.
PARTY DECOR
I got the vase from the Dollar Tree, covered a styrofoam ball with white cupcake liners and then hot glued peppermints all over. Then I added the peppermint ribbon, put a little bling on a peppermint candy, and there you have it...so simple...and cheap (total cost about $3.50)!! :)
This is a cookie sheet that I bought from (yep) the Dollar Tree. I spray painted it red, painted the inside with chalkboard paint, blinged up the bottom, and wrote Santa Baby and drew lines with silver paint pen. Then, I topped it off with a big 'ol bow. Total cost...less than $2.00 (I already had the paint, ribbon, and bling).
Mason Jar Candles
Mashed Potato-tini Bar Sign
We had such a fun party!! Can't wait for the next one!! :)
BTW-I get a lot of my ideas from Tip Junkie...I love Tip Junkie! Check it out!
Blessings To You,

Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is such a happy time, for me.
I love Fall.
I love Family.
I love Food.
Thanksgiving highlights all of these!
Here are a few pics of our Thanksgiving celebration.
My Give Thanks banner. I printed out the letters from
Then I made a template and cut out burlap...yes...more burlap! for the background. :)
I hot glued each letter onto Jute rope and hung it over our dining room entrance.
I got the Keep Calm and Gobble On sign from
We had a Thankful tree and each of us wrote (on printed leaves) what we are thankful for this year.
One part of the centerpieces were these candles. I got wood slices, acorns, and leaves from our farm, put a candle in a mason jar, and put it all together.
I got the idea for the Gather Here sign from http://craftily-ever-after.blogspot.com/ but I changed it up a bit.
Here is a centerpiece for one of the tables. I made burlap flowers and attached them to the vases.
Another table....we had 17 people for dinner so we had to borrow a table from our church. :)
I got this Thanksgiving Subway art from www.eighteen25.blogspot.com .
I wrapped the flatware in Thanksgiving napkins (yes, I used paper this year...I dont' have 17 matching napkins!). I wrapped the napkin in burlap, tied a chocolate brown ribbon around that, and glued on acorns that we collected from our farm.
I printed out food label cards with different fall-colored damask borders. Then I glued burlap behind them and glued that to a folded piece of cardstock to make a "tent" card.
The spread...and my sweet hubby servin' it up!
And...the best part of all...DESSERT!
I made an Apple Pie, a Fudge Pie, and a Pumpkin Pecan Cheesecake.
I will put the recipes on my I Love Cookin page, soon.
The Get Your Pie On sign is from
I hope you all had a very Blessed Thanksgiving day!
Blessings to you!
----------------------------------------------
I served White chocolate covered pretzels, strawberry marshmallows, various sugar wafers, button-sized sugar cookies with strawberry icing, powdered donuts, iced animal cookies,
and salt water taffy.
I also served small sandwiches and a fruit platter with marshmallow fruit dip.
I made the flower arrangements to look like a cupcake using a zig zag type of container that I found at The Container Store. I cut pink carnations and arranged them in floral oasis and inserted a white taper candle. I had intended on adding a bow to the bottom of the candles but ran out of time. :/
Cupcakes:
I made three types of cuppies:
Pink Lemonade Cuppies (HERE is the recipe)
Snickerdoodle Cuppies (HERE is the recipe)
and Vanilla Cuppies
The Party Favors:
For the party favors, I put a cupcake in a small mason jar and added trim.
I also tied a pink plastic spoon to them and labeled them by flavor.
They were a big hit!
A friend of mine gave Shelby this darling party hat.
Here's the Birthday Girl...ready for a cuppie!
Happy 1st Birthday to my Precious baby girl!!
Blessings to you,
Kim

Skylar's Sweet Shoppe
Candy-themed party
For Skylar's 9th Birthday, she wanted a Candy themed party. This was such a blast to put together. So many fun colors...and CANDY galore!!
I made the invitations by enlarging a lollipop clip art, cutting it out, and gluing it on a stick. Then I inserted it into a cellophane bag and tied it with this darling striped ribbon.
