50 Shades of Grey Favors

Who's going to the 50 Shades of Grey  movie this weekend? I'm wrapping up some kisses for the premiere tonight for the girls!  I put them in a elegant black box, tied them with a ribbon ( I wanted white rope but I couldn't fun any) & filled them with silver kisses. (Silver is a shade of grey right?)  I made a cute & simple tag & we are all set.

Basketball Rocks Favor

It is the end of another basketball season & what's a Mom to do for favors for the team party?  At the end of last season, I made these Skor'd Big favors for the boys.  We have the same group of boys on the team & I wanted to give them a little something different.  We came up with this ROCKIN' favor...



all packaged up & ready for the party



I created a simple tag for the pop rocks with clip art on MSPaint.  I am off to a clients furniture installation & then a little shopping.  Happy Tuesday!

Oscar Jewelry

I am making chenille flower (AKA pipe cleaner) rings for all of my Oscar party girls because everyone at the Academy Awards needs FABULOUS jewelry!  (yes, I know I desperately need a manicure but what is more disturbing is how OLD my hands look-guess the future career of a hand model is out of the question).

Mask Pops

We ordered these great candy molds from Amazon for the Masquerade Ball


We are thinking white & dark chocolate & possibly a little edible glitter or luster dust to add a little sparkle



What do you think? Should we add a little shimmer or keep them plain? Has anyone tried any of these products? I would love any tips or suggestions if you have any!

Beary Cute Crackers

Little Charlie turned two last week & adores animal crackers. I found this cute bear full of animal crackers at Target but could not live with the label. A little left over scrapbook paper & ribbon & it is covered! Also, wouldn't these make a great favor for a circus theme or carnival party?



Wouldn't this container be great filled with gummy bears too?
