Cookie Decorating Party

Today I wanted to share a sweet cookie decorating party that a customer styled using the Shindig Parties TO GO Let it Snow Collection. Laura from Live, Laugh, Celebrate, put all of her creative genius to work to create an adorable and unforgettable party for her stepdaughter, Lola, and a few of her friends. She was even featured on Celebrations at Home this week! Just look at all of these wonderful ideas Laura has for styling a party with printables.

Laura created a sweet party table using an eye-catching red and white polka dot backdrop. I love how she improvised "snow" as a frame around the 8" centerpiece snowman circle using of all things -- cotton balls!

Laura also took advantage of the extra polka dot and striped papers in the Let it Snow Collection as used them as "ribbon" around candy jars, as wraps around the drink bottles, in frames and as liners for cookies and other displays.

Isn't this the cutest? Laura, used a shelving furniture piece as a display for her party -- perfect for featuring all of her goodies in fun and creative way.

The paper chains are one of my favorites. Laura took all three of the polka dot papers in the collection and cut them in strips to make a festive paper chain. What an adorable decoration for her cabinet display!

Thanks so much, Laura for sending me the photos from your party! It makes me so happy to see customer's enjoying Shindig Parties' printables. Lola and her friends

must have LOVED their party!

I love a Shindig!

Well, after many months of trying to balance a new business with my full-time job of "Mommy," I'm feeling a little more accomplished these days. That completely due to alot of earrrrly mornings and quite a few late nights. Another party down.... another party ready for Shindig. Summer's been awesome.... but maybe just a little bit more difficult than I expected trying to work with the kids being home all day. I absolutely love them being out of school..... no time-crunched schedules although we have stayed really busy. I'm beginning to think that with three kids, there's never gonna be a "not so busy" time, but it sure has been nice to take a break from the after school activities and the homework.

I'll post later on the details of the food and the food table and more about how the activities went at the party. I'm getting quite a few hits from people interested in parties and maybe I can help someone else planning a Star Wars party for their sweet little obsessed Star Wars fanatic. I know how much I learn from the talented moms and party planners out there.

Meanwhile, I've got a new slideshow of the party up on my Phanfare slideshow site.
