Round’em Up

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

I have to admit, I have been away from “Blog-Land” way too long and I missed it so! I have been busy with my new business venture {Wedding Planner} and I must say, ” I LOVE MY JOB!” its the best being your own boss!! I realize (now that I’ve got the hang of things, new job, new husband, and so on) I have to prioritize. Meaning: managing my time better. I was finding that I was getting too tired at the end of the day to do some of the things I love most… My Blog being one of them. I’m officially back in the saddle and must say it feels great! It’s hard to get TRULY organized. Its nice to have my little web log here in cyber space, its such a great outlet for me in so many ways!! :)

Any-hew, enough gushy stuff – Since I have been away, I still found time to READ through my faves ;) (tee-hee) and I have “Rounded Them’up” to show you and just so I can keep them for myself! Enjoy!! {More to come}.

It was really hard to pick my favorite. The Inspired Bride’s Blog {one of my favorite reads} has a wonderful “DIY week”. To learn how to make this desert chic center piece and MORE hop over to The Inspired Bride Blog.

If you love to entertain and need some help with the dessert menu, ALWAYS start with Bakerella! She is always whipping up something delicious and super fun. Be sure to look through her archives for some fantastic ideas.

“Love” spelled with cookies, now what could be sweeter??Photo credit: Stephanie Williams Photography never ceases to amaze. Such a brilliant photograph- I had to share it!

I adore this Polaroid ring By Jersey Maid $8.50 . Create your own glass charms a’la carte! Check out their shop on Etsy.

This DIY candy popper they brought to all of us{via the fabulous Posh Paperie & exceptional photographer; Jackie Wonders } is the cutest ever!  For instructions on how to make your very own, head over to Style Me Pretty’s Blog!

This little treat is so adorable in EVERY way! Perfect for a bridal shower or baby shower. For the recipe and ‘how-to’ visit Eat & Drink Pretty. There are some great pie pops on there too!

I found this lovely little “Kilner Sun Jar” by Cox & Cox on The Knotty Bride’s blog – a fun place to spend some time if you need some great ideas for any kind of entertaining! I agree with Alison {Miss. Knotty Bride} – This wonderful little “Kilner Sun Jar” would be a perfect way to warm up/light any backyard celebration – and this little bad-boy stays lit for (5) hours!! :)

Toot-a-loo,

Stephanie

Pretty Pinwheel

Wednesday, May 12th, 2010

Great for party decor. Hang one over a dessert table, even combine the pinwheel mobiles with paper pom-pom decor, this would be great for any fun celebration!

This pinwheel mobile in particular is from an Etsy shop called Mamax2.
