Winter Invite

Parties, Printables, , , , , , ,

For Christmas a few weeks ago, we decided to give everyone a gift of an activity rather than a wrapped present.  For the granddaughters, I am doing a baking lesson/sleepover party!  They got a baking kit and for our baking party we are going to learn how to make frosted sugar cookies and decorated cupcakes!  The little girls have been asking for a grandma sleepover again for quite awhile, so I decided that we could combine the baking lessons with a sleepover.  They were very excited!

I thought that it would be fun to make an invitation for each of them to make it official and decided that I would share a blank invitation with you!winter invitation Continue reading →

Sinterklaas Party 2014

We had our annual Sinterklaas party last night and boy am I tired this morning!  It was a  lot of fun…but a lot of work!  We celebrate Sinterklaas day because my oldest son served a mission for the church in the Netherlands.  I have always loved the idea of welcoming in the Christmas Season with Santa!  We then celebrate the spiritual side of Christmas on Christmas Eve.Santa Claus Continue reading →

Italian Soda Bar

Drinks, Parties, Printables, , , , , , ,

Happy Friday everyone!  Are you as excited for the weekend as I am?

Today I want to share a fun Italian Soda Bar that we did last Sunday when everyone was here for dinner.  

It was a big hit and everyone kept going back for more!  I have done these before, but this time I used Sparkling Water instead of Club Soda and I think that I liked them a little better with the Sparkling Water.  I also had cream that they could add to it, if they wanted to. (but I forgot to put the “creme” bottle in the picture)

These are also wonderful with a dollop of whipped cream on the top!

Happy Thursday Everyone! 

I do not have a thought for you today, but I do have a printable for you!

I had to make the invites for our Relief Society Birthday activity for church, so I decided that I would share it with you.  You could use this for any party…all you have to do is add the information!

To print, right click over the image and go to “save image as” then save in a folder.  Or you can right click over the image and go to “copy image”, then open your favorite program like Word or Presentations and right click again and go to “paste”.  Or you can send this out to your favorite photo processing center, which is what I did!  This is formatted to a 4 x 6 card.

This is the invitation that I made, I included it so you could see how I added the information to this card.

So does anyone have a party coming up that they need an invitation for?

I worked on this Relief Society activity all day yesterday, so that I will be ready for it next week! 

I  had to make some little fold-overs for the table centerpieces… but I got them all done so now I can move on to my next project, right? :)

I hope that you are all having a great Thursday! 

The weekend is just around the corner!  Yeah!

Have a great day everyone!  Love Ya!

Sinterklaas Party 2013

We had our annual Sinterklaas party this last weekend and the kids had a great time!

 Sinterklass day is not until Dec. 5th, but we always have our party on the weekend when we can all be together.  We started this tradition after my oldest son served a mission for our church, in the Netherlands.  I love all of the rich traditions that go along with the arrival of Sinterklaas and the start of the Christmas season.  That is why we celebrate it every year.  It is just a fun way to kick off the holidays!   I will apologize in advanced for all the family pictures in this post, but that is what this party is all about and then also this fun guy:
