Parisian Onesie Decorating Party

There is something wonderful about a Parisian themed gathering- whether it's a birthday, shower or holiday. Last Christmas I bought an Eiffel tower dessert stand for a Christmas Tea table and I haven't had a chance to use this beautiful stand since. ( it has been borrowed a couple times by friends- does that count?).

My neighbor is having her third baby, a girl, next month and I wanted to do something special for her. Since our kids are on spring break this week I thought it would be nice to get our kids, along with a couple other kids in our neighborhood together for a playdate to decorate some Onesies.

I decided on a Parisian themed playdate so I could use my cake stand again. Yes, honestly, that is why I went with this theme. Isn't it a beautiful tower?

Then I figured, Paris is the fashion capital of the world and since our kids were designing some Onesies for this future fashionista, it would work out nicely.

I bought some fabric markers, white Onesies in various sizes and let the kids get creative.

It's not very often that I get to use my Eiffel tower chocolate mold. I made these chocolates out of black candy melts.

The cupcakes were cookies and cream with chocolate cream cheese frosting.

Rice Krispy cupcakes. I found these cupcake liners at Sur la Table.

Strawberry marshmallows & strawberry Whoppers.

The Lorax Truffula Seeds FREE PRINTABLE

I can't believe my last post was Christmas. I guess I've been both lazy & busy.
For months I had hoped to do an elaborate Dr. Seuss themed party for my kids to celebrate Read Across America Day and the Lorax movie premier but that kinda fell through the cracks.
My girls still wanted to give something to their friends to celebrate the day so I ended up with these Truffula Seeds.
I just took an image from the Lorax book, added "Truffula Seeds" to it and printed them. I put Berry Kix cereal in a bag, slapped on the label and called it a day.

So by a request on facebook, I am sharing it with all of you.

Enjoy!

Nativity Tablescape & FREE Printable {Christmas Tea Part 2}

As a mentioned in a previous post, I decorated three tables for our church's Women's Christmas Tea. For one of the tables, I chose a gold and silver color scheme and used my nativity figurines.



My husband folded these napkins for me which held the silverware

I wanted to incorporate some sort of saying or theme so I designed some Joy to the World tags which I used to dress up some plain favor boxes.

As my Christmas gift to all of you, I am sharing these tags with you.


They would be great as cupcake toppers, gift tags, etc. There are three tags, each with a line from the song, "Joy to the World," "The Lord has come," and "Let Earth receive her king." You can use either a 2 inch square or 2 inch circle punch for these. You can download theme here.
As always, please do not resell these and credit to Lollipops & Paper is much appreciated.

Enjoy & Merry Christmas!
