the most wonderful time of the year

Celebrate the wonderful joy of Christmas in every little way. It is a time of family, joy, giving,
receiving, and most importantly, remembering the great gift of baby Jesus to humanity.

I absolutely love this nativity scene cookie cutters to help teach children the story
of the first Christmas Eve.

Do not forget that this great celebration lasts 12 days, so you still have a chance to enjoy
many little details. What is your favorite way of celebrating this season?

my own little celebrating!

Today is my third wedding anniversary, and it is time to celebrate,
so I am thinking about a weekend getaway! There is always a good
reason to be grateful and jump for joy, what is yours today?

I came across this sweet third birthday celebration with a color palette inspired

by lilly pulitzer partyware with great shades of lime and pink and an adorable
turtle design carried throughout the different party details.

Since this was a poolside party, none of the serving pieces could be breakable;
therefore, this very clever and design oriented mom, was able to pull it off with
cupcake stands out of plastic trays and upside down cups, as well as BPA-free
plastic serving dishes; all of which looked amazing. All graphic details were
made to match and additional images and resources can be found here.

color book | turquoise + lavender

how fun it would be to throw a party with these great contrasting colors!
I think they are the perfect balance between girlie and bright! Perhaps after putting the celebration together, you can imagine yourself on a trip to provence or the greek isles........

I couldn't help to share this post before the weekend is enjoyed. There is nothing better than to top a sweet cake or cupcake with a personalized touch like these amazing wooden pin dolls from lollipop workshop

Each doll is custom made , including hair color, dress design, etc., adding a most unique touch to your fete. I can't wait to order my own, they also make wedding cake toppers to match the bride & groom outfits and personalities. Simply adorable!
