I looked around for a smaller bowling alley and found the perfect one in a nearby town. We were able to rent out all of Set Em Up Lanes which included 8 lanes, 2 pool tables, juke box and plenty of counter and table space for Andrew and 17 of his buddies. It also was a little on the retro side which fit my theme just right! We had bowling alley grub and of course a dessert table. The boys really enjoyed taking over all of the lanes for a day!<br />
<br />
A HUGE Thank you to <a href="http://www.maggierussophoto.com/">Maggie Russo</a> for taking all of the photos and my sister for making the awesome cookies and bowling ball cake pops. <br />

We celebrated her birthday and her love of horses with a pony party. She and her friends enjoyed a sweet outdoor country picnic and pony rides. As always, I am thankful that I had <a href="http://www.maggierussophoto.com/">Maggie Russo</a> there to capture every sweet moment and party detail and my wonderful sister baked the amazing cake and cookies! <br />

We started out with a country picnic lunch for all of the little girls in sweet picnic baskets complete with a horse "happy meal" toy. I made up custom stickers and packaged southern chicken biscuits and then had little containers of fruit along with juice to go with it. The lunch was light because the dessert was not!<br />

And then on to dessert! I was lucky that Annabelle had a couple of American girl horses because they made perfect decor. I made them some prize ribbons and they were right at home. I found a couple of great vintage horse trophies to complete the look. <br />

This gorgeous cake was made by my sister. The inside was pink ombre. The outside had stripes of ruffles with a full ruffle top. I topped it with a sweet spotted pony (Annabelle's favorite) and a birthday sign. </div>

I am sad to say that it was planned too last minute to ask Maggie Russo Photo to come take fabulous photos....and my photos are not even close to her gorgeous professional quality that we are used to! BUT....it was such a FUN FUN day I had to share! These 6 cute little girls had tons of fun creating colorful and whimsical gingerbread houses, eating goodies, listening to the story of the Gingerbread Man and having lunch together. It was really a great time! <br />

I bought inexpensive aprons and had each girls name embroidered on and then just embellished with whimsical trims. They looked ADORABLE in them and it was a nice little keepsake for them to take home. <br />

I purchased prebuilt gingerbread houses from Target so that each girl could get right to work decorating the houses and having fun....at this age (or any age) it is no fun trying to get the houses set up. I filled up baking cups with an assortment of candy and bought mini squeeze bottles from think garnish. The wrapper is included in my printable set and could be adapted to larger bottles. <br />

I was so excited back in August when <a href="http://www.lhj.com/">Ladies Home Journal</a> contacted me and asked if I would contribute to the Holiday Entertaining bit in the December issue. Although getting my mind on Christmas when it was 95 degrees out was tough, I decided to just share some advice on using paper to spruce up any occasion. I also offered my Cup of Cheer labels to dress up inexpensive cups as a FREE DOWNLOAD. You will also snag my holiday phrase flags for straws, toothpicks, lollisticks and my patterned paper for lining trays. Go to <a href="http://www.lhj/partyprints">www.LHJ/partyprints</a> for the freebie! <br />
<br />
If you are not one to download and print at home, <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/116250128/12-cup-of-cheer-circles-for-christmas">you can still purchase the printed version here!</a> <br />
<br />
I am busy getting ready to entertain 6 four year olds {and moms} next week at Annabelle's gingerbread decorating party! Stay tuned for photos and a whole line of party papers! <br />

We celebrated with a Water War for he and his school friends. It was hot out and the boys had a great time playing in water! <br />
<br />
Ty chose blue and green and I went from there. As always, I started with the invitation design and that made it easy to find everything to match. I shopped little by little all summer and by the end of August I had a nice assortment of blue and green water guns and water balloons! I set up a weapon table so that the boys could help themselves. This doubled as take home favors! <br />

The dessert table was minimal...and as usual my sister came through for me with an amazing striped cake to match all of my paper designs and even water gun cookies in blue and green!

He LIVES for baseball so his theme was a no brainer this year! He invited his whole baseball team to a local park where I set up a concession stand in the pavilion while he and his buddies played baseball in the field. Luckily, Dad is coach so he did a great job putting a fun game together for the kids. We had a blast! <br />
<br />
The concession stand was filled with sweets and treats....bats and balls, bubblegum, candy, popcorn, peanuts, cracker jacks and old fashioned bottles of cola! Next to that was the food table with concession stand style food....our kids favorites- Walking Tacos and Ballpark Hotdogs. <br />
<br />
The picnic tables were set with cupcakes and cookies. Each place setting held a red gable box filled with a hostess baseball cupcake in a little baseball hat and a pack of trading baseball cards.<br />
<br />
I am so thankful that Maggie Russo was there to capture all of the details for me (just weeks before she is due to have her baby)! Check out more <a href="http://maggierussophoto.com/blog/andrews-baseball-birthday-party-northwest-indiana/">photos on her blog here!</a> <br />

Thankfully <a href="http://www.maggierussophoto.com/">Maggie Russo</a> was there to capture all of the details for me!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will start with the favors. This party had a whole wall of them! The girls were pampered with tutus, pearls, flower hair clips, bracelets, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/MadisonAvenueSoaps">ballerina soaps</a> and sparkly rings. It was lots of fun for them!<br />

We can't forget about the boys! My friend and I got together and made bow ties for all of the boys. They were placed on little kraft boxes that each had a chocolate cigar and stick on mustaches. </div>

Last September I helped a friend with her daughter's barn animal party. She came in from out of town and set up this sweet party at a local apple orchard with a great red barn, a petting zoo and a perfect grouping of picnic tables where we were able to set up this party! This talented mama, Anna Patrizi, went all out and made the cutest little animal cake pops and apple pies in mason jars! The party was adorable and I had to share the photos! <br />

The kids table was covered in burlap and each place setting had a little boxed lunch packed for each kid in red barn boxes with my custom labels. The kids loved it seeing this table when they arrived at the party!<br />

I missed photo opps with the adult food table, but it was set out casually on a picnic table with a large bushel of wrapped sub sandwiches, a bushel of glass hinged milk bottles with chocolate milk, bowls of salads with wooden spoons adorned with red gingham ribbon and homemade banana bread (made by Anna, of course). Here is a peek at the bread!<br />

We filled little burlap sacs with animal feed for the kids to enjoy in the petting zoo with cut little custom tags. This was also a way to stretch the budget by splitting up the feed that the petting zoo sells into 3 burlap sacs per bag purchased. (I always like to stretch my party budget any way I can!!)<br />

I have been busy creating new sets of party themes for my ETSY shop along with lots of custom requests. I have been working around the clock and my sweet little "assistant" Annabelle has been soaking up every little detail! Today she asked me if I could "print a party" for her dollhouse! She told me she wanted purple and pink butterfly to be the theme and even made me a little "printable" wish list that included a banner, placemats and birthday signs. I also added a little party hat for the birthday girl.<br />
<br />
I thought other moms might enjoy this project with your little girls too. <a href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/78686055">Upload your free dollhouse butterfly party free here!</a><br />

The two of them are very good sports so I brought along my new printables to capture under the apple trees. These printables would be great for any fall occasion....I love to send invites for everything so naturally I will be sending these to family as a reminder of our annual trip to the apple orchard. <br />
<br />
You can find the invites and everything to match in <a href="http://www.homespunhostess.com/">my shop</a> now.<br />

How cute are these girls?! <br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Backyard Camp Party</span></div>
<br />
My oldest son turned nine this month and we celebrated by inviting friends and family to CAMP TYLER. We had a nice backyard camping party complete with a bonfire to roast hot dogs and marshmallows. The kids had so much fun competing against each other in the nature hunt and playing flashlight tag! I genuinely enjoyed every bit of this party and all of the old fashioned fun!<br />
<br />
All of the wonderful memories and details have been captured by <a href="http://www.maggierussophoto.com/">Maggie Russo Photo</a> and the Delicious Texas Chocolate Cake and Smores Brownie Pops were by <a href="http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Little-Miss-Sweet-Tooth/165748380146243">Little Miss Sweet Tooth</a>. A HUGE thanks to them! <br />

<br />
Way back in early February my sweet little Annabelle got a new Strawberry tutu from Gymboree and as soon as she got it she told me she wanted to have a strawberry party so she could wear it for the party.....and so the planning for her May 23rd birthday began! I knew in my head I wanted the style to be vintage strawberry, homespun and farm chic all wrapped into one! I used red gingham, fun polka dots and accented with a bit of retro aqua. The dessert table was filled with goodies that my very talented sister {little miss sweet tooth} made....gorgeous strawberry ruffle cake, strawberry cake pops, strawberry cookies, truffles and strawberry french macarons! The food table had more of a "farm chic" rustic look with vintage popcorn bags, wrapped sandwiches tied with yarn and custom tags, mini homemade strawberry pies, individual strawberry spinach and dill potato salads and red lunch bags of chips. I love the pop of aqua against the red...it adds that little bit of retro charm that I love. <br />

We have a big long picnic table that was perfectly set with red geraniums in red polka dot pots and mason jar cupcakes at each place setting with wooden stamped forks and vintage strawberry tags with each child's name. <br />

Although I will sure miss the carefree days of summer, I am trying to get organized for sending the kids back to school on the 17th. One of the things that gave them a perk last year was surprising them about once a week with a little note tucked into their lunch box! I was always greeted with a big hug and a smile after school on those days! So today I have a rainbow of happy little lunchbox notes for you to <a href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/61774093">download free right here!</a><br />

PLEASE VOTE!This is so funny....when Annabelle's party won Project of the month back in February Andrew immediately said "mom...I want my party to win that next"....and I thought to myself, "There are so many good parties out there, we would never be lucky enough to be chosen as a finalist again!" ....so we had a fun surfer party for Andrew and I uploaded into Project Nursery photo gallery and forgot I did. The other day I got an exciting email. GUESS WHAT?!! It was chosen as a finalist!!<br />

Last night we gathered around 45 people from my husbands family for a fun little reunion while the kids from Norway and Colorado were in town to get to know the family! We had a blast as we always do with this big family! I kept the theme simple {CELEBRATE FAMILY} because that was the point! I decorated in Navy and Orange and made sure to use plenty of printables to pull the theme through. Here is a little look...<br />

In the beginning of the month we had my husbands godparents from New Orleans visit. We hosted a casual breakfast. I was able to get everything fresh from the farmers market that morning and made 2 homemade quiches to go with it. I also made homemade honey butter and gourmet bagel spreads the night before just to make our fresh bagels and pastries a little more special! Once again, I love visiting with family so I had a great time. Feeling very blessed!<br />

We had a fun surfer party for him with blue and orange as our color theme. My <a href="http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Little-Miss-Sweet-Tooth/165748380146243">very talented sister</a> made desserts that made the party awesome and <a href="http://www.maggierussophoto.com/">Maggie </a>took pictures to make it all look magical!<br />
<br />
For starters...look at my little surfer boy! he enjoyed every moment of his surfer party and that makes it all worth it!<br />

Have a look at these amazing cookies and cake! They tasted just as good as they looked too. I used brown sugar as "sand" in my galvanized tiered tray. I also made little cups of blue jello with gummy sharks swimming around with little "caution SHARKS" flags. You can personalize this printable collection to fit your party too! <a href="http://www.homespunhostess.com/">Now available here in my shop!</a><br />

This party really did not break the bank, and I am going to share my secrets for being frugal and still throwing a very pulled together theme party. <br />
<br />
For the favors, I set up a shelf that I already had at home with "Andrew's Surf Shack" goodies. We got sunscreen (Bonus...in matching colors!) at the dollar store, sunglasses in white and shades of blue, also from the dollar store, we got the perfectly matching lollipops at Easter for $1 ea at Walmart, the bubbles were less than $1 ea at Target and the custom labels tie them right into the party, the sunshine cookie sticks were from Dollar Tree with my custom tags added to them and even my little candy jar was filled with inexpensive orange candy. The kids loved the free for all! <br />

We had a cookout and served food from "Andrew's Beach Grill" in retro blue baskets. The fruit and coleslaw was packed in mini 4 oz cups with custom "Andrew's Beach Grill" picks. The water and soda bottles were simply wrapped with matching labels to pull it all together. <br />

So with my head in the clouds dreaming of beach houses I created this Under the Sea theme party line. I tried something new with this one...wrapped soda cans...and I think I love it! I have been on a glass soda bottle kick because they look so fun on tablescapes, but let's face it, they are expensive, can be hard to find and not really practical for kids to be running around with glass bottles. I had canned soda on hand today when I was designing and gave it a try. <br />
<br />
What do you think? <br />

Download your free set <a href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/58380314">here</a>!<br />
<br />
This set includes 2 types of party tag designs that you can use as cupcake toppers, labels, hang tags or anything else you think of! Also included are mini flags to make toothpick flags for your desserts or burgers and plain patterned squares so you can punch out shapes....like the stars shown below. And of course no party is complete without a banner...so that is included too! Enjoy!<br />
<br />
Think beyond dessert! You can use these little flags on top of your {all american} burgers and dress up paper cups with the tags and fill with french fries! Add a flag to the top of your heaping bowl of potato salad for a festive presentation....get creative!<br />
<br />
So what are you waiting for? Get printing and make your party festive! <br />
