I love this cute presentation! Want to cheer up a friend? Want a fun favor? Want to send someone home with a smile?
Ta DA!
Cupcake in a jar! Add a nice label and a fork and it's a party in a jar! A nice addition to this would be a wooden fork from Garnish. Isn't it cute?
Perfect for any occasion! Change the color of sprinkles, labels and forks to match the occasion.
How cute would these be for tailgating?
Thanks to Brandy at Gluesticks for the great idea!
A cone filled with handmade, beautifully decorated sugar cookies!
Fabulous!
Yes, it's a bit time consuming, but has a real "wow" factor!
Check out the full tutorial on Prudent Baby.
What a great idea!
I've done cones for a long time. Everyone LOVES them. They are just easy for quick treats without a plate.
Celebrate Today.. the superchick way has come up with adorable cones on a stick! She calls them Kandy Kones. See more on her site and buy them in her etsy shop.
The minute I saw this I thought Eat, Pray, Love. Are you having a girly get together surrounding the premier of the movie? How about a Tuscan dinner?
What a great decor addition! Beautiful for a kitchen or a vineyard wedding. Great gift idea for the wine lover!

Calligraphy is one of those things that I truly swoon over. It's so classic and ornate and awe inspiring to me that someone has that amazing talent! And more so, the patience to do it!
Calligraphy is also one of those things that I say I'm going to learn... someday. LOL
Well, I should have taken the time to learn it in my 20s. Because now, in my almost 40s, with all the stuff I have going on plus a child, I'm not sure learning is ever going to make it to the top of my list.
And why should it? Because I know Jennifer, of Calligraphy by Jennifer, and she has learned it amazingly well!
Jennifer, based in Louisville, KY (and I feel I should throw that out there because I'm a KY born girl myself), creates a breathtaking first impression to any invitation. Let me show you...
I love this invitation!
Of course, she also can do place cards and even doilies!
Her prices are amazing and she can do many many different styles of calligraphy.
Don't think she just does invitations. She also handles thank you notes, poems, table numbers, etc.
Will you be having a more formal occasion in the coming months that could use the elegance of calligraphy? Think: Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner, New Year's Eve, a special bridal shower, your parent's 50th anniversary, etc. How about something for your children? Sweet 16, sorority event, etc?
Better get on the books now!
Paula of Frog Prince Paperie had 3 hours notice of her guests arrival! She threw together this perfect impromptu picnic with what she had on hand and it turned out beautifully!
See that beautiful pound cake? She shares the Paula Deen recipe on her site! AND, she sells those monogram circles in her etsy shop.
Paula's impromptu picnic is exactly the type of occasion we celebrate here at EC. Even with short notice, when you have a few basic extra touches on hand, you can make any gathering an occasion!
Patrice at Lemon Tree Creations shows you the full tutorial on how to create this beautiful set with porcelain markers.
You could have this setting in no time!
And what a great gift! Get started now to make sets as Christmas gifts for your friends who love to entertain! Don't forget to look for inexpensive white plates at Goodwill!
Great party favors! Or would be cute in a child's bathroom with supervision. I'm thinking of having a candy cane Christmas theme and thinking these would be cute in red/white in my bathroom.
I love the tagline she used to remind those they aren't candy: "Please enjoy, but do not lick- For eating soap can make you sick!"
Leaves can be cut from green paper or you could use real magnolia or other wide sturdy leaves.
