Anniversary Printable SNEAK PEEK
This FREE Printable Party Set is Coming Soon!
|  |  | 
We have a get-together with our church small group coming up and the hostess wanted to make the get-together special for another couple who was having their anniversary that day.  So, I offered to bring some Happy Anniversary printables to the party.  I was sure I had pinned one somewhere! Wrong! I searched the web and nada.  So, I decided to create a Happy Anniversary Party Printable Set myself! |  
 
|  |  | 
This is how the banner turned out.  It is a blue and white chevron pattern with yellow letters and grey accents. |  
 
|  |  | 
Maybe a nod to the nautical theme I'm crazy for right now? |  
 
|  |  | 
I created one page of smaller tags and toppers with Bible verse phrases on love and other love phrases. |  
 
|  |  | 
This is what the entire set looks like. |

It's Easter!
Ok, I realize Easter has come and gone, but I never had time to post all of my Easter decorating ideas! So here goes... 
 
|  |  | 
I bought this wreath for $2.50 at Target in the Dollar section.  I simply added the blue ribbon and the words HAPPY EASTER from the Easter Party Printable  I created. |  
 
|  |  | 
This is my Easter table setting before I added the plates etc.  It's simple and very inexpensive! I purchased 2 white plastic tablecloths (my table is super long), one roll of wrapping paper, one pack of 24 paper doilies, 2 packs of faux moss covered rocks, and brown paper Easter basket filling from the Dollar Tree all for $1 each totaling $7! I made the DIY Candy Display Jars  and you can see how in the post on my blog.  I purchased the green basket from Target in the Dollar section also-I think it cost $2.50 and added the brown paper Easter basket filling with eggs I had purchased from Dollar Tree last year.  I created the free Easter Party Printables  that you can use also! |

Notice how the doily runner falls off the end of the table? |

The table is set and ready to go! |

Hope you had a Happy Easter!

Easter Silhouettes
 
 
|  |  | 
This project was so easy thanks to Martha Stewart! I had some scrapbook paper that I measured and cut down to 8.5 X 11 inches (regular paper size).  The paper has two different patterns on both sides.  I printed the design on the side I did not want to display-the "wrong" side.  The silhouette comes from the Martha Stewart  website. |  
|  |  | 
Then, I cut out the silhouettes (which include chicks, a rooster, and a bunny) with scissors and taped them to wooden sticks.  Next, I inserted them into my woven wreath (another Dollar Tree find) so they would be standing upright. 
 
|  |  | 
And finished! My mantle is ready for Easter! The Easter Banner comes from the free Easter Party Printable Set I created! |

DIY Easter Paper Napkin Rings 
 
 
 
 
 
|  |  | 
Then, I folded the circle in two trying not to create creases and cut a slit with my scissors. |  
 
 | 
 | 
|  | 
| 
Lastly, I slid a rolled up napkin through the middle creating a simple napkin ring! So Easy, Cute, and Inexpensive! | 
DIY Easter Placecards & Candy Egg Holders
|  | 
| 
This Easter printable came from The Hostess with the Mostess Blog .  I printed out the placecards and affixed labels with my guests names on them.  Then, I taped it together creating a loop around my finger and added my mini cadbury eggs on top for each guest. | 
 
| Thanksgiving at my house.  With so many guests coming, I bought fancier plastic plates at BJ's Wholesale Club along with the silverware for easier clean-up.  Everyone thought it was the real thing until they picked it up and realized how light it was! | 
|  | 
| Christmas at my house! My favorite holiday! Tip: Repetition is key in table settings to make it look beautiful! |
