Party Kits on Opensky.com by Darcy Miller

Today you HAVE-TO click over to see something fun & exciting for the party world on Opensky.com.  Especially if you are a Mom who loves to be creative and clever when hosting a themed party but desires one stop shopping for everything you need to pull your party together!

Today on Opensky.com, the one & only Darcy Miller of Martha Stewart Weddings 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.

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 Daisy party starter kits, and everything else is on opensky.com and you have yourself a Daisy Party just like the one Darcy hosted for her daughter Daisy!

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!

Here are a few pictures of the Daisy party!  Click here for more.  Check back later today for more details of my conversation with Darcy about entertaining and up-cycling ideas for your party products.

Peace, Love & Daisy parties!

Summer Berry Harvest Party

This time of the summer is perfect for having a berry harvest themed party!   I was thrilled to have the party featured on Amy Atlas Sweet Designs blog!

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 Pinterest Berry Harvest board!  You will also find the products and where to get them on the board.

My favorite part was the cake, the backdrop & the party favors!  For the party favors find the zucchini bread recipe HERE & the strawberry jam recipe HERE is is a Martha Stewart quick & easy one!

Sixty is Sweet Garden Birthday Inspiration

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 The Garden Girls.  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.  Jane sent me a few quick pictures from her outdoors as inspiration as you can see below....

Under the Sea Cookies

Under the sea fondant & royal icing decorated cookies~ 

I enjoyed making these cookies for the St. Alphonsus School's Father/Daughter Dance last week.  

For the water and sand I piped a wavy line and then brushed the icing down with a paint brush and then free hand the rest of the designs.  

Peace, Love & Under the Sea~

Oh Too-Doodles!! A Mickey Mouse Birthday

Happy Monday everyone!  I had the pleasure of creating a Mickey Mouse birthday for my niece that turned the fun age of 2 last week.  She has a certain love, as many do for the classic Mouse, Mickey of course!   I enjoyed making this commercial character into our own to make it cute and unique!  Not every dessert table needs to be all out with an over abundance of desserts,  you can create an easy yet colorful and memorable dessert display with special details.  

Coordinating cookies of square & party hat shapes

DIY Party Hats! Everyone must be celebrating Micky Mouse style because there we no hats in stock at the stores.  No worries with simply cutting out black circles out of construction paper and finding colorful hats at Target we were in Mickey Mouse business.  Kids loved them and they all look great wearing their ears!  See~

 Oh-two doodles wearing her hat!  

PARTY DECOR~ 

Window sign welcoming guests

 Oh-Two doodles personalized 5x7 framed sign 

 DIY printable banner

The famous song "hot dog hot digity dog" 5x7 personalized sign.  

You should see her dance for that song.... priceless.   

CUPCAKES~

I will be sharing the recipe & how to make the hats on my blog later today.  The frosting is delicious and the party hats were very easy to make.  

Peace, Love & Mickey Mouse Birthday,
