Details! details! details in the garden at this hydrangea Sixty is Sweet birthday party for Jane of The Garden Girls!<br />
<br />
Here today to share the pictures of the garden and decor of the party. Jane & I had a blast planning, shopping, crafting, sharing and styling her party! We hope you are able to get inspired with what was created, as Darcy Miller shared with me when I asked how many details are too many? Her answer "there are never to many details, it is about the process".......I think Jane had fun with the process most especially in her gorgeous gardens! I'll have to get her to share more pictures of the gardens around her home, she has created a peaceful and relaxing place.<br />

Today on <a href="http://opensky.com/">Opensky.com</a>, the one & only <a href="http://www.marthastewartweddings.com/" target="_blank">Darcy Miller of Martha Stewart Weddings</a> has curated a fun and bright Daisy party that is a must see! I had the opportunity to speak with Darcy about this collection and party, she gave me tips and advice to share with you for hosting this or any party. <br />
<br />
I will say the conversation was such an honor and in the end it was sweet to realize so many similar things her and I do as Mom's for our 3 girls to make birthdays and celebrations special. One of the questions that I asked Darcy was how many details are too many details? If you see in the photos and inspiration boards there are so many details. First, they are very easy to execute most especially if you purchase the <a href="https://opensky.com/darcymiller/product/yellow-tableware-bundle" target="_blank">Daisy party starter kits</a>, and everything else is on <a href="http://opensky.com/">opensky.com</a> and you have yourself a Daisy Party just like the one Darcy hosted for her daughter Daisy! <br />
<br />
Darcy answered the question of how many details are too many and simply the answer is "you do what fits", it is all about the process of getting the party together, whether it be your kids punching out or cutting printables to your bridesmaids deciding what to have and what to get for your shower! Here with opensky.com launch of a party put together by Darcy Miller it isn't a question of searching around the internet of what details and products to style your party, it is all at one place put together by the best of the best when it comes to celebrations! <br />
<br />
Here are a few pictures of the Daisy party! <a href="https://opensky.com/darcymiller/collection/summer-daisy-party" target="_blank">Click here for more</a>. Check back later today for more details of my conversation with Darcy about entertaining and up-cycling ideas for your party products. <br />

This time of the summer is perfect for having a berry harvest themed party! I was thrilled to have the party featured on <a href="http://blog.amyatlas.com/2012/07/berry-harvest-guest-dessert-feature/#" target="_blank">Amy Atlas Sweet Designs</a> blog! <br />
<br />
Here are more photo's from the party! This is certainly easy to re-create and most of the party decor can be re-purposed for another party ~ especially a Patriotic Party! See more party ideas on my <a href="http://pinterest.com/ScrumptiousBlog/berry-harvest-garden-party/" target="_blank">Pinterest Berry Harvest board</a>! You will also find the products and where to get them on the board. <br />
<br />
My favorite part was the cake, the backdrop & the party favors! For the party favors find the zucchini bread recipe <a href="http://scrumptiousswirls.blogspot.com/2011/09/zucchini-nutella-blueberry-bread.html" target="_blank">HERE</a> & the strawberry jam recipe <a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/335256/quick-strawberry-jam" target="_blank">HERE</a> is is a Martha Stewart quick & easy one!<br />
<br />
Have a great weekend everyone! <br />

I hope everyone is staying cool out there! I am busy over here planning a few different birthday parties that are coming up, along with being the director at Camp Mom for my three girls. I wanted to share a look into one of the parties a "Sixty is Sweet" garden party for the one and only Jane of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Garden-Girls/169592839747389" target="_blank">The Garden Girls</a>. The invitation fits her whimsical style very well! What is a garden party with out ball jars & hydrangea's, just like the ones that are loaded in Jane's gardens. <span style="background-color: white;">Jane sent me a few quick pictures from her outdoors as inspiration as you can see below....</span><br />

This past weekend we had our youngest daughters 3rd birthday party, hard to believe our little one is 3. This birthday she was very specific on what "theme" she wanted which was cows & piggy party. So a little down on the farm was in order. Today I wanted to share with you a cute idea I had for the drink cups for the kids! <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>

<div>
I love mason jars as many of us do, and if you ever saw my post on how <a href="http://scrumptiousswirls.blogspot.com/2010/08/lucky-loves-dinner-for-2.html" target="_blank">I used the mason jars for vases and I sprayed painted the lids with chalkboard paint to write on</a>, you will see that is what inspired this idea to up-cycle DIY for the drink cups. I have seen around on<a href="http://pinterest.com/ScrumptiousBlog/" target="_blank"> Pinterest </a>the daisy cut out lids that many have used and I think they are adorable. I was lucky one day to be on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ScrumptiousSwirls" target="_blank">Facebook</a> when Kim from <a href="http://shoptomkat.com/" target="_blank">The Tomkat Studio</a> listed them in her <a href="http://shoptomkat.com/" target="_blank">shop</a> and I immediately ordered a set. Here is the link <a href="http://shoptomkat.com/category_103/Mason-Jar-Supplies.htm" target="_blank">Vintage Daisy Jar lids~ Shop Tomkat</a> , I also bought my mason jars at <a href="http://www.michaels.com/" target="_blank">Michaels</a>.</div>

What you need for the mason jar chalk board tags is a drill to drill the hole, a spray paint can of chalkboard paint, twine & chalk of course! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Drill the holes before you spray paint the lids. I painted my lids and glued on the printables to the jars the night before the party and assembled them in the morning. </div>

What do you think? The kids loved them, and the chilled watermelon juice they drank throughout the party! Also, take a look of her cows and piggy balloons~ there was not a chance the real things were coming to my house. </div>

I love my simple display of spring flowers to symbolize new life and a fresh start, along with the girls Easter baskets. We enjoyed an Easter brunch with fresh fruit, buttermilk blueberry lemon zest muffins, omelets and all sort of candy. We headed to mass, you can see a few photos below of my little girls with their Easter hats. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">You can see my middle daughter having enough of taking pictures, she started to making silly faces! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Off to my brothers we went in which I brought a few desserts (more on that to follow) but you will see a few pictures I took before we headed over there of the bunny digging for carrots cupcakes in the fresh wheat grass that I grew the last 2 weeks. See the bottom photo....lucky for me I took a few because I was walking into my brothers adoring seeing my nieces and nephew, bumped into the wall and the cupcakes all fell to the floor! That's what I get for carrying a cake on a heavy cake stand in the other hand! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I call it life and reality....Life happens and I am not to afraid to share, because we all know it happens! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAq66_e53M8n1xat0DpxXQdU28inLTQeLG3RlIUWsFEnLp4wDGao7X45hve5xVimL9OvbcT3N4n58yLAbM5q3XpiufXAyJExzVhRoYt4VTuhPY49RALKwkRfNEwhRxdc4CzzrEebLrJnaW/s1600/blog4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAq66_e53M8n1xat0DpxXQdU28inLTQeLG3RlIUWsFEnLp4wDGao7X45hve5xVimL9OvbcT3N4n58yLAbM5q3XpiufXAyJExzVhRoYt4VTuhPY49RALKwkRfNEwhRxdc4CzzrEebLrJnaW/s1600/blog4.jpg" /></a></div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">I love spring and all the bright colors we are beginning to see. We have many options for baking and cooking with all the beautiful fruits and veggies that are growing! When I have an idea for cooking or baking to bring certain things together I refer to the infamous <a href="http://www.becomingachef.com/flavor_bible.php" target="_blank">The Flavor Bible,</a> to be sure it is something that will work. If you like to cook or bake creatively, The Flavor Bible is certainly one that you should have in your kitchen! More on the book later. </div><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">Brownie topped with key lime curd, caramelized strawberries, toasted coconut and macadamia nuts! </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">When it comes to using fondant I like to say I think at times outside of the box. Using fondant doesn't only have to be just for cakes, cookies & cupcakes. Last October when Rebecca & Shannon of <a href="http://www.freshchickdesigns.com/" target="_blank">Fresh Chick Design Studio</a> were planning Rebecca’s “Baby Shower Happy Hour” to celebrate her third baby on the way, I had the idea to create coordinating fondant “glass rimmers” to make her drinks sweet.

He went on to be a top pastry cook and very well known for his pastry treat in Paris and Florence. Why I don’t make my own puff pastry I do take full advantage of having it in my grocer’s freezer to buy which allows me more time to be very creative with it when I am entertaining. This tasty creation you should love especially if you like when warm apples and ice cream are brought together. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
