Are you looking to throw a fun Christmas party? I really wanted to do one this year so I threw together a little party "mockup" plan using these fabulous Cookies & Milk printables from Hostess With the Mostess. Check it out... Cute, right? I'm really proud of myself for my Photoshop skills at working these images together. But I think we're all in agreement that the printables really make the party. They are just those extra details … [Read more...]

I already posted the Halloween party preview, but I wanted to follow up and show the actual party pictures. They aren't quite as pretty because I was rushed (guests were arriving as I took these!) and the lighting was terrible so I had the flash on. I hate using the flash and try to avoid it at all costs! You saw this table before but now it has food! Here's the other table with utensils, napkins, plates and the hot food. Which didn't … [Read more...]
I'm having a Halloween party in a couple of weeks. I LOVE throwing Halloween parties and the setup and food is so much fun to plan out. So much fun that I had to do a dry run with the new and super cute products I got from Cost Plus World Market. So here's my spooky halloween party set up. Check it out! This is only half of what I have planned. My Halloween parties are not creepy and scary but fun and spooky! I was able to get so many … [Read more...]
This Memorial Day, I had a dinner party to watch the world compete in London this summer. I had a couple gift cards to Cost Plus World Market so I headed there to gather some items for the party. It was my first time going there and I just have to say wow. Have you been there? If you haven't you need to go. It's like a Williams Sonoma and Pottery Barn in one but way cheaper. I wish I had like five thousand dollars to spend there … [Read more...]
Hi there Honeybear Lane readers! I am so excited to be here today. I met Heidi just about a year ago at a blog dinner and we've been fast friends ever since. I remember when she told me at Creative Estates that she was pregnant; poor girl was so sick! I'm happy that her sweet girl made it here safely and I'm more than happy to be here during her maternity leave. With Christmas just past and New Year's fast approaching, I thought I'd … [Read more...]
I have this fantasy of throwing the World's Best Halloween Party Ever. I've thrown a couple of small Halloween parties that were fun, but nothing that could hold a candle to what I have imagined for this Great Party. The first ingredient to a great party: have a big enough house to accomodate more than two other couples. That's the first thing I'm working on. In the meantime, I've collected some great ideas and inspiration... To view … [Read more...]
I had a fabulous baby shower last week. My best friend threw it for me and she and I worked on the decorations together. Lots of the decorations were things that I wanted to use in my baby's nursery. (Her 'some day' nursery.) I knew once I saw something similar on Pinterest, I wanted to make it...a paint chip chandelier Seriously so cute. And it was so easy to make. Not exactly quick, per se, but fairly easy. Take a circle punch … [Read more...]
