Fourth of July Crafts: Red, White & Blue
Happy Fourth of July! Are you planning to enjoy your day with family and friends? Or are you planning just to play it by ear and keep it low key? Well, whatever your plans are for celebrating the holiday, you can add to the fun by creating some easy family crafts. These cool and patriotic crafts will pair along perfectly with your family picnic or BBQ and the kids will love the idea of having something to create to the day of celebration.
1. Picnic Napkin Rings
Add sparkle to your table with our easily made picnic napkin rings. These star-spangled wrappers will add flair to a picnic and bursts of color to outdoor meals all summer.
2. Stars and Stripes Clip-Art Paper Cones
Filled with a mix of beet and blue-potato chips, these easy-to-make stars and stripes cone containers are something to cheer for.
3. Patriotic Ice Cream Cone Wrapper
These stars-and-stripes clip-art templates make store-bought ice cream look extra special. To make the ice cream cone wrappers, simply print the clip art and wrap around the cone, fastening with a glue stick or double-sided tape.
4. Drink Parasols
Add a burst of patriotic spirit to summer sips with these red, white, and blue umbrellas. Pop one into every beverage you serve for an instant air of festivity. Besides doubling as stirrers, the little paper parasols help identify each guest’s glass. Once you’ve fashioned our patterns into umbrellas, grab yourself a drink, sit back, and get ready to watch the sky.
Enjoy your holiday!

Sex and the City 2: A Posh Affair
Right now my excitement level can not get any higher! I am so sure you know why I am so excited. The movie Sex and the City 2 will make its debut on the big screen on May 27th and I can’t wait! To pay homage to one of my favorite group of ladies and former hometown, I propose planning a fabulous Sex and the City cocktail party before heading off to the theaters to catch up with our NYC girls – Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda. So pull out your favorite pair of Manolo Blahnik’s, your most fabulous chic cocktail dress and let’s get this party started!
Setting the Scene: Pull out the DVD of the 1st SATC movie and have it playing in the background during the party. Create some chic and stylish centerpieces by filling large martini glasses with silver mirrored balls surrounded by black and hot pink feather boas. Add in some animal prints, you can get some cute zebra print plates and napkins to bring it all together! Remember it’s has to be all about the glam of NYC and nothing else.
What to Pour: There is no way you can have a SATC party and not serve up delish Cosmopolitans . So fix up a batch of Cosmos and mouthwatering Flirtini’s. Also prepare a pitcher of non-alcoholic cocktails and coffee. If you’re headed out to the movie after your cocktail party make sure you have designated drivers that I have not been drinking. Keep it safe!
What’s on the Menu: Keep the menu simple and light with bite size scrumptious delights.
Olives and Cheese Platter
And to satisfy the sweet tooth:
Enjoy your party and be sure to tell us all about!

Place some in your guest bathroom, I guarantee your guest will love them. Need a the perfect gift, give a half-dozen as a fabulous housewarming gift or better yet spoil yourself with some!
Finding it hard to control your sweet tooth? Most will when thinking about the cutie pie soapies! This little pie smells like a yummy tart raspberry pie. It comes in a gift set that contains four pieces of pie. They come all wrapped up in a cute little bakery box with a window so you can see the cuteness inside. These little beauties will make excellent hostess gifts and thank you gifts.
This is a great way to enjoy cupcakes without the calories. The cupcake soaps look and smell like the real thing. The frosting on top is made of a whipped cream scent and the bottoms come in many different flavors such as: coconut, chocolate, strawberry, orange sherbet, key lime and many more.
Okay, these are my favorite of the bunch. One reason is because I really love cinnamon rolls and these baby cinnamon rolls soaps have my heart! Seriously they are soo cute. The little bitty cinnamon rolls are just about 1oz a piece and look and smell just like the real thing. These are complete with hand-drizzled frosting! No sharing this one, I want these all for myself.
So which one is your favorite and which will make the perfect gift?
