{free printables} Beach Party

I am LOVING the warm weather outside and I wished we lived closer to the beach!  But... who says you have to live near the ocean to enjoy a beachy party?!  Jillian from Catch My Party came to me and asked if I could create something for her readers and these are what I came up with.
Banner-- print as many as pages as you want and assemble to your desired length.
Bottle labels-- use on water, glass soda bottles, juice boxes or capri suns.
Party Circles/Cupcake Toppers
Cupcake Wrappers
Drink Tags/Straw Flags
Food Label Tented Cards

You may DOWNLOAD THEM HERE or over at Catch My party, but please go on over to CATCH MY PARTY and check out Jillian's fantastically fun and jammed packed site.  She's got everything you need to inspire your next party.  Seriously, I could get lost in her site for hours-- so fun!

I've also made these large party circles and party sign available to my personal readers.  To download those items go HERE.

{free printables} Lemonade & Sweets Stand

While visiting my family in Utah this last month I saw a zillion lemonade stands and I got to thinking how cute it would be to have printables for just that.  Afterwards I went home and started googling it and discovered I'm not the only one that has thought of this.  So I started making these printables and then I sat on them for almost a month because I wanted to take pictures of them in use.  During that time, more lemonade stand printables became available online, but oh well... I still think mine are super cute and run with the best of them. :)
I had every intention of putting some yellow jelly beans in these cupcake wrappers, but when I went to the cupboard to get them, to my surprise they had disappeared.  Hmmmm... I thought my husband said he was on a diet? ;)
The LEMONADE/SWEET STAND printables include:  road sign with arrows, tented food labels (some with wording some without), lemonade banner, price toppers/stickers, drink tags and 3 coordinating digital papers.
Attach this sign to a yard stick with the arrow pointing the correct direction to drive in the traffic.  To add a little frill you can always add some tule or ribbon on the stick.
Place these tented cards next to all of your homemade baked goods.  Also you could cut the top piece off and stick them directly on your baked packaged goods.
"LEMONADE" banner-- I envision this strung together with  yellow tule to give a bit of a frilly feminine touch.
Use these digital papers to make paper chains, paper flowers, and/or paper pinwheels to dress up your stand.  Possibilities are endless.
Tape these price toppers to a lollipop stick and place in whatever sweetness you bake up.  Also, these drink flags will make just the perfect touch to your delicious and refreshing lemonade.
I wish I had gotten these out sooner, but hey we still have close to 6 weeks left of summer and there are still a plethora of hot days calling for our kidlets to get out there and sell refreshing lemonade and make a buck or two in the meantime.

{real party} My Little "Bug's" First Birthday Party!

I can't believe my baby is one!  This last year has been a whirlwind and I wish I could slow time down.  Nevertheless, if time were at a halt then we would have no birthdays to celebrate so I guess I'm okay with it. :)  For Graham's first birthday I chose to use the theme of "bugs and insects."  I made all of the printables myself and had them printed at my local print shop-- I think they turned out darling.  I will be uploading them to Etsy soon for those interested in purchasing.

The invite-- I used a scallop punch to make the bug bites.



I had party goers fill out notes for Graham to open/read on his 18th birthday.  I plan to put them into his time capsule/chest with other significant things from his first year of life.

The cake-- bug topper was purchased at Joann's Fabrics store.

 bugs were everywhere!

 Party goers got to take home bug glasses, insect nets and ladybug or bee masks.




 Delicious food bought at Costco.  LOVE that place.

 Birthday Boy!
 The bug glasses were a huge hit.  Maybe not with my little bug, but all the other little bugs loved them.

Happy Birthday Graham!  Just LOVE you!

*party side note: I had intentions to make the food more "bug and insect" related, but ran out of time.  It would have been cute to have chocolate pudding cups with crushed oreos and gummy bugs sticking out of the top or to make beetle bite cookies.  The possibilities are endless with a bug themed party.  So fun!
