How To Decorate Flower Cookies The Easy Way!

How To Decorate Flower Cookies The Easy Way!

Despite the cold and rain some of us are having, spring is  actually here. And I thought I'd share some easy-to-make flower sugar cookies for all those seasonal spring parties you may be currently planning. 'Cause let's face it, no party is complete without cookies. And no spring party is complete without flower sugar cookies!

But the boys have been known to sneak in from time to time... mainly because of all the delicious treats on offer! 😁 So here's a selection of family-favorites to help make your Oscars Party a winner!

With Mardi Gras 'round the corner, I thought it would be the perfect time to share this gorgeous glitzy and glam Masquerade Party with you! It was styled by my dear friend S arah from Sarah Sofia Productions for a Murder Mystery Party , but I think many of the ideas can be used for a Mardi Gras party too. Sarah asked me to design the printable decor and backdrop banners, and I love how everything turned out! Check out the stunning details below as told by Sarah, to inspire your celebrations, whatever they may be!

Champagne New Year Cake Hey party lovers, are you excited for 2018?

A Charming Mickey & Minnie Inspired Party

A Charming Mickey & Minnie Inspired Party

This post is sponsored by the KEEP Collective but all opinions are my own. The magic surrounding the Mickey & Minnie Disney characters is undeniable. As a  birthday theme it remains as popular today as it did back when I was a little girl, when I begged my mom to have a Mickey theme for my 9th birthday. This was the beginning of my love affair with all things Disney! Now that I'm all grown up and have a little girl of my own, I still find myself drawn to this charming party theme. And as party blogger, I witness first hand how much the characters are loved by kids and parents alike.
