My husband loves nuts. And spicy things. And beer. And eating spicy nuts whilst drinking beer. So needless to say, this really is the perfect little gift hamper for him on Father's Day! :) This spicy nuts recipe is not only easy and quick to make (so kids can help), but it tastes so freaking yummy that you'll find any celebration (or excuse..) to make them again - Honestly!
If you're not the crafty type, fear not. This quick and easy 3-D printable Father's Day Card was designed with kids in mind - So all you need are some basic tools (and let your inner child loose...) to be able to create a bespoke card for dad! ;) And the bonus is that these FREE printable cards were designed to match the cheerful Father's Day theme we have going all this week!
We're all about DAD this week here on the blog! And kicking things off, are these super cute printable Shirt and Tie Cupcake Toppers that you can download totally FREE !
DIY Strawberry Shaped Decorated Cookies
Before we get with the tutorial, let me come clean with you. Cookie decorating is not my forte. In fact, I'm slightly scared of them. There, I've said it! Yes, sugar cookies decorated with royal icing scare the heck out of me! No, and I don't have some weird phobia about cookies...it's just that I am not patient at all, and think there are sooooo many steps to decorating cookies that I get bored and don't even bother. I prefer to oooh and aaaah other people's creations, and so for my parties I often seek the help of the amazing professionals out there.
Today I'm joining Kim from The Celebration Shoppe to feature one of our fave parties/party ideas from last month's joint linky - So when you're done here, hope over to Kim's blog to check out her featured fave! ;) There were so many gorgeous party ideas linked up, and picking just one was reeeeeally hard!! But since we're all about strawberries this week here on the blog, I decided to feature a strawberry-flavored party idea by Mariah from Giggles Galore - Strawberry Shortcake in a Jar!
Strawberry Cupcakes & DIY Fondant Strawberry Toppers
I made these cuties for a mini strawberry themed desserts table I styled recently. And since it's strawberry season (even if the sun refuses to come out...), I'll be sharing my strawberry themed party recipes with you all this week in the hope to kick start the summer good and proper!! Anyways, it all turned out pretty yummy and cute too, don't you think? So it's good to know that if I can, you most certainly can too! ;)
Hi everyone, today we're hosting another link party and have teamed up with the fabulous Celebrations at Home and The Celebration Shoppe - So that means when you link up an idea on this blog, it shows up on theirs too! :)
4th of July Free and Funky Printables
To quote a dear friend, " Patriotism comes in many forms and colors..." And in this spirit, I joined The Purple Pug to create these colorful and funky FREE 4th of July printables , mixed in with the more traditional Red, White and Blue! She made the fireworks banner (complete with glitter bling!), and I re-worked the colors of the 4th of July Printable Bottles Wrappers to match her awesome palette! It's fresh, unexpected, " dazzling party drama " and totally FREE for your to download and enjoy - on July 4th or any day of the year for that matter! ;)
