Ideas & Printables for Last Minute End-of-Year Parties

Ideas & Printables for Last Minute End-of-Year Parties

Not sure if you know, but earlier this year started catering for those impromptu and last minute parties with our " Instant Download " party printables. Basically, they do exactly what it says on the tin - You pay and simply "walk away" with your printable download. No waiting. No queuing. No fuss. Which means you can shop 24/7 and get these printable goodies any time of day (whatever your timezone!). And because these instant download printables have been so popular, we decided to add a few more to the shop!! Woo-Hoo, did you say?! :)

DIY Candy Corn Halloween Oreo Cookies Recipe

DIY Candy Corn Halloween Oreo Cookies Recipe

The title of the post is a bit of a mouthful - in many ways than one! These candy-corn chocolate covered Oreo cookies are really simple to make (despite the long title). They look super fabulous as a Halloween gift, party favor, or desserts table treat. But most importantly, they taste absolutely scrumptious!! It's also a great recipe or Halloween project to make with the kids . I made them with my 6 year old, so if she can do this, then I'm sure anyone can! ;)

TGIF, right?! It's been a real crazy week - Between working on a really fun article for All You Magazine , another super duper project that I can't wait to share with you (Eeek!!), and trying to help with finishing touches to the special edition of the Magazine , it's been hard getting posts out on a daily basis... So, until I can properly spill the beans on all of the above, I wanted to invite you to follow along on Instagram . Why? Because that's where you'll most likely get the hot news first, since my phone is now my bestie and doesn't leave my side.
