Ohdeedoh feature for goldfish cracker party

I forgot to note that my daughters goldfish cracker birthday party was featured on ohdeedoh a few weeks ago. I was thrilled because ohdeedoh is one of those sites that I check daily- they have so many neat ideas for life with children and making it better. 

Harvest Party

I spotted this Fall Harvest/Thanksgiving party a few days ago. 

I love everything about it. It has a rustic, natural, wood-sy feel... just as Fall should feel like.

Our Halloween Costumes

This is what we'll dress up for Halloween this year
(taken at a Halloween party last Tuesday)

We went all oriental on everyone

My son went dressed as a spam and egg Mususbi (a popular local Hawaiian snack- similar to sushi)

He looks like he's just been frightened by something here- ha!

complete with decorative grass

My daughter went as a little Chinese girl (or Kai-Lan in her mind)

I was a Chinese food take-out box

and my husband (who doesn't not like to dress up in any way, but agreed to do this {thank you!}) was a fortune cookie.

He just wore this across his shirt

The best part about our costumes was we reused and made everything we wore. 

Sorry for the bad photos- I realize I'm not a professional :)

What are you going to be?

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!

Candy Jar Labels (and black licorice- Yum)

I love, love, LOVE, love black licorice!

When I first saw this image my mouth started watering and couldn't help but to go out and get some black licorice to eat that instant (ok, maybe a few hours later... but I got it!).

Get the free down-loadable labels here.

I wouldn't mind eating this too-

Carnival Party

A Carnival Themed Party has got to be one of the most popular themes out there right now. There are so many cute ideas and photos too look at. But I think I've found my favorite one last week from A Little Polka dot via (Amy Atlas). Everything looked simple, clean, and colorful. Not too much frilly stuff. 

And I really like that cake!

Very cute mummy drinks

Halloween Games

Loving this idea from MS. 

By using balloons, candy, and confetti, one can have the perfect game and take home treats in one!

Black White hats

Just made these for a customer and her daughter's Panda Bear 1st Birthday Party!

They would work great for a Dalmatian dog party too.

For a custom order, convo or email me!

Flyaway Favors

I know these are all across the internet/blogs, but every time I see them they make me smile. 

They'd be perfect for a Halloween witch party, or actually ANY Halloween party.

Make them with Martha.

Treasury Feature: Wonderful Wonderland Finds

Thanks MyHauntedAttic for featuring the 

Alice in Wonderland Eat Me Chocolate wraps

Simple Halloween Candy Decor

I've been collecting easy and simple DIY ideas for Halloween candy decorations and handouts. 

They are so simple they don't need explanation on how to make them. 

Just look at it and you can figure it out. 

I thought I'd share.

Katherine Marie Photography

(as always, has brilliant ideas and such nice images!)

I love those bats folded over chocolate bars

Lollipop Ghosts

(I remember always making these growing up as kids-

made out of a tissue)

Take it to another level and make a wreath

or glam it up with some fabric

Domo paper bags- monsters!


Ghostly nutterbutters from Marta
(these look soooooo good)

 

I guess it's never too early...

... to be shopping for Christmas gifts.

I really think these personalized products are perfect for kids. I think it may help my daughter be more excited to sit down and eat (she tends to run off and play after eating 3 bites) 

It was actually really fun to order- you get to choose your childs' hair style, hair color, eye shape, eye color, skin tone, glasses or not, and bowl background color. FUN!
