Bunting and hay bales and ponies OH MY!

Only a few weeks until my sweet girl turns 3 and she has asked for a Jessie and Bullseye party...otherwise known as a cowgirl party. I'm looking into a special treat that would officially earn me the title of craziest momma but it would be worth it. And for the record...crazy idea was planted in my head by someone else :)

I've started making the bunting with some western fabrics I had in stock and I've been searching for western party ideas. It's going to be a small party and but I still want it to be memorable. Birthdays are a cause for celebration! And I want our kids to have great memories. When I was 2-3 years old Mom made me this clown cake with a ginormous sucker on it. I loved that cake and I think I had it a few years in a row. And I still remember it...

Speaking of cake...

Is that not awesome?! That is what she wants...who can find me the figures on top? I love the Hostess with the Mostess blog and have been inspired by her Jessie party. Check out her blog. It is awesome.

So for the next couple of weeks decor will be made, cookies will be baked and her cake decorated. Pinterest is once again my friend and so is the crazy creative mind of my friend Nadja of Little Lemonade Stand and Midnight Designs.

I love birthday parties :)

Countdown to Christmas Roundup!

Just hours to go before I announce the winners of the Countdown to Christmas Giveaway! And just 10 days left for me to get my shopping done....I'm so far behind. Good thing this girl's got connections to get hooked up with local mommas!!

My cousin Laura just started selling Epicure. Honestly I had never bought it before but my coworkers were asking if I knew anyone who sold it and raving about it.  Then at my cousin's first birthday party I had the Cranberry and Apple cheese Ball (OMG!) So tasty! Guess what some people are getting for Christmas :)

Stocking stuffer sale is on until December 16! Fingers crossed you win the $20 gift certificate she has up for grabs!!

I love embroidery and how cute it can make anything. An embroidery machine is totally out of reach for me at the moment but I'm lucky that Little Lemonade Stand has the equipment and the talent! She's offered up a gorgeous set of chalk board gift tags.

Nadja has recently launched a new adventure that she is calling Midnight Designs. Seriously love the name because like most mommas that is when she gets her work done! She designs custom items like invitations and birth announcements and she's giving one lucky ready $25 towards your own creation!

You'll need pictures to go with that birth announcement, holiday card, birthday invitation and there is no one better to take them then Courtney Richardson! Courtney has offered a $50 gift certificate towards a session in the new year.  Love her work and you will too. She's a sweetie (as most Newfies are) and is great to work with.

If you have a fur baby, you'll need some treats to get them to sit pretty for their big camera moment! M & A Doggie Delights makes homemade dog treats. You get a treat you can feel good about feeding your four legged friend. She only uses the best ingredients and everything is vacuum sealed to ensure freshness. If you win the $15 gift certificate she's offering, you'll get to try a few different kinds!
