St. Patrick's Day is Wednesday. Yep. TWO DAYS. Are you that mom that's rushing around trying to figure out what to do for the class?
My friend Kim at TomKat Studios offers this fabulous design (and others) on FREE printable cupcake toppers to make your life easier. Just print, cut them out, stick'em on sticks and into the cupcakes.
No circle cutter? No biggee! Just make them square.
No time to make the cupcakes too? Pick some up. No judgements!
Easy and done! You're Mom of the Month!
It's not too late to make new year's resolutions! Or, if resolutions aren't necessarily your thing, how about writing yourself a letter to open next year? It can include resolutions or things you hope for or just a pep talk.
If you want something digital, the website Future Me allows you to schedule an email to be sent in the future. Send one next year, or on your birthday or to your spouse on your anniversary, etc.
More of a pen and paper person? Christa at Baca Creative has designed a downloadable stationary that is perfect!
An easy way to label your drinks! Martha Stewart provides lots of free downloads and templates for these types of details. It's categorized as an escort card template, but.... print it out, cut them up and add them to cardstock to label items for your guests.
Labels seem obvious? Think about things like sweet versus unsweet tea. Do you have diabetic guests?
Or that lemonade up there? Could easily be a limeade. Who knows?

Remember my post where I shared my crazy lists?
So yeah. I'm a listmaker. What can I say?
I've always been one, really. In college, I was super involved in campus activities at the University of Kentucky and even then, I had a large calendar/planner where I literally had to write in class times or I'd schedule right over them. And well, to be honest, some classes did get scheduled over, but in my defense, the jobs I've had since college were all acquired because of the event planning and organization experience I gained outside of the classroom in college.
Anyway... I digress.
I love these fabulous printable lists from Christa of Baca Creative.
Who said lists have to be ugly, anyway?
I especially love the "one thing today" list. How many times have you thought "I swear, if I don't get anything else done today I'm definitely going to {insert task here}!"
Perfect for those of us that thrive on progress and accomplishment. Do one task, mark it off. done!
Both lists are currently featured on the Blah, Blah Blahg.

Many thanks to Christa for feeding the addiction!
Remember these? I posted them last week with my Pea Pod triplet shower?
I've had a few people write in about the cones. Where to get them... how to roll them.
These cones are available in my etsy shop here! So easy to make!
There are STILL people that haven't seen (or read) Twilight!
I know, shocking, right?
With the DVD out in stores, it's the perfect time to plan a viewing party!
Hostess with the Mostess sets the stage for a vampirific evening of fun.
All the details are on her site and she's done most of the work! She provides downloadable quotes and drink labels as seen in this photo.
Sidenote: I REALLY wish the DVD would have been out for Valentine's Day. Wouldn't this decor be perfect for a fun girl's night surrounding that holiday? Filmakers, listen up! New Moon... Valentine's Day 2010!
You know those people? People whose handwriting is unique and beautiful every.single.time they put a pen to paper? (My mother! - Hi, Mom!) :)
Or one of those people whose handwriting looks like it came straight off an architectural draft? I heart interior designer's handwriting... which, btw... I found out by asking one recently if they had to learn how to do that and YES... they all have to take a class. (Where can I sign up?)
Anyway, I haven't had much sleep and I'm apparently rambling.... back to the subject.
You know you've seen blogs where the writer has a font of their handwriting, THEIR signature font.
Like one of my faves... Ali Edwards....which looks like this and I adore it!
If you go to Kevin and Amanda's Font for Peas, they'll turn your handwriting into your own font.
Plus, they have tons of fonts on their site that are just perfect for invitations, programs, etc.
Go! Treat yourself! Make your mark on the world by preserving your handwriting in your typed life. LOL
If you could get them to write out the required letters without telling them the purpose, this would be an interesting gift for someone techy!
Recently, Kim Vallee of At Home with Kim Vallee posted these adorable felt bunnies she was planning on using for her upcoming Easter celebration. Problem being, a retailer couldn't be found for the bunnies that are produced by Daft. Kim sent out the call for someone to help create a template and how-to for these simple bunnies.
Enter Everyday Celebrating!
I was thrilled to jump in and design the template to make these bunnies come to life!
It only takes 2 pieces of craft foam or felt per bunny... plus scissors! That's it!
Visit Kim's site for the downloadable template - compliments of Everyday Celebrating and At Home with Kim Vallee!

Remember when there was no internet and you found super cool stuff via tv commercials and all you had to do was eat a ton of cereal to get the UPC codes to mail in? Then make the hopeful trek to the mailbox every.single.day., peering inside cautiously, praying for your goody to finally make it to your house?
Well, UPCs and box top goodies are still out there, but now they have "goodies" that appeal to adults.
Quaker Oats has a community program on how to host "birthday parties with a purpose". Described as (from their site):
Birthdays are all about great times and being with the ones you care about. Hosting a Birthday Party with a Purpose is a great way to introduce children to the thrill of doing good for their communities while experiencing all the fun of a traditional birthday party.
Our Birthday Party with a Purpose Kits were developed in partnership
with Kids Care Clubs, and have everything you need for the perfect
themed party with a volunteer activity.
Plus, you can print FREE themed party materials, such as invitations, thank you notes and more under the Party Themes. Simply pick a party theme from the How-To-Guide and we'll go the extra steps to show you how community, caring and birthday fun can go hand in hand. For example, you'll get all the information you need to throw the ultimate "Pirate Party," with a Treasure Hunt where kids can find "loot" and use it to make treasure chests they can donate to children at a local hospital.
How great is that? Party in a box! With lots of great themes and downloadable materials on their site.
Visit Quaker Oats to learn more about how to get the kit and see all the themes and materials!
