{Etsy Shop} Christmas Holiday Yarn Pompom Garlands

I am not one to put the cart before the horse.  I like my Halloween to be followed by Thanksgiving and my Thanksgiving followed by Christmas and so on and so forth.  However, I do know that holiday shopping and decorating has started for many of you.  That being said, this will probably be my last Christmas-y post until after the Thanksgiving holiday.  LET THE TURKEY'S HAVE THEIR DAY!!!

You all know that I am crazy about yarn pompom garlands, it all started here, and I haven't stopped making these poofy babies since!  Every year, I've made some type of garland for my own holiday parties, but haven't really offered them in my shop.  That's all changing today, because, you can now choose from five NEW holiday yarn pompom garlands that are in my shop!  Yaaaaaay!!!  Be sure to check out the sweet offer for my readers at the end of this post.

I made all kinds with different themes in mind....


This one would be AWESOME for a very classic Christmas!  Can't go wrong with red, white and green, right?

How about Hanukkah?  I really love the blues in this garland.....and it works well for a Winter Festival or dare I say......a FROZEN themed birthday party.  Elsa would be proud.

For a more cheerful Christmas color scape, I made one with Cherry Red, Grass Green and Evergreen colors. 




For something more playful, I made two with bright colors.....I love the Cherry Red, Grass Green and Iced Aqua colors in this garland!

This one happens to be my fave!  I love pink!!!  So, a touch of pink to the cheerful pompom would work out great for a bright and colorful Christmas scene for your home!

I'm offering a sweet deal on all yarn pompom garlands in my Etsy shop. Use the code POMPOM15 at check out and receive 15% off your purchase of any yarn pompom garland over $20!  This offer will expire on Friday, November 21st - so act fast.

{Happy Customers} Splish Splash Pool Party & Yarn Pom Pom Garland

I get all giddy when my Etsy customers send me photos of their parties featuring my party decor!

Angela, ordered a custom pom garland for her sons' pool party.  She was kind enough to share the link to the party  from her blog.  You can see the garland hanging against the  really fantastic backdrop she made to dress up the indoor pool area where the party was thrown.

Thanks, for sharing your fab & fun party with my readers, Angela.  I've now added that garland to my Etsy shop and have aptly named it  the Splish-Splash Yarn Pom Pom Garland.

{Etsy Shop} NEW ITEMS! Pretty Poms, Parties to Go & Halloween Printables!

I've made several rainbow garlands for custom orders in the past year.....and now I'm finally adding them to the shop, YAY!

{Etsy Shop} Princesses & Rockets PLUS Bloggerversary Deets

This gal has been busy, busy, busy whipping up some fun and new party items for my Etsy shop.  I'm excited to share these new printable party invitations with you today.  New in the shop today is a Princess Printable Party Kit and Rocket themed invitations for a fun outer space party.  I designed both of these a while ago and was happy to finally add them to the shop (yay!).  

I am currently working on a complete set for the rocket themed party, but was so excited about the invitation - that I couldn't wait to share! 

Soooo, my bloggerversary was last week, but with all of the holiday on-goings, I decided to wait until this week to announce it.  I've been working on this blog and my party business for about three years now - WOW THREE YEARS!!!!!  That sho' is a lot of time! 

{Here comes the self-gratuitous, 'loves me blog', rant} in the beginning, I ho-hummed along, and each year I promised I would do more blogging, add more content, be more of a 'Blogger'.  I wanted a huge blog following and to be known worldwide and all that extra stuff that I saw some other party bloggers doing.  But truth be told, over time, I learned to just do what I can and pray that folks are reading.  I am a wife, a mom, and a business owner who happens to work a full-time job.  That's a lot of party hats!  I love being able to blog and share that I love creating fabulous parties, sweet confections & decor......BUT IT IS A HELLUVALOTTA DAMN WORK!  I realized that this blog is my fun way of sharing my crazy with people who don't know me and might find humor in my humility.  I have had people say, 'Oh, I read your blog, I love it!' and I think to myself, "For realz?'  

Seriously, ya'll, I never thought this blog would even get to the place where it is now...and in my head - it's in a good place....and while there is a party (can't help it) part of me that really would like to see it blow up (in a good way), I'm happy with how things are.....of course, I still dream of more, but I'll take what I have for now, cause I might be crazy but I'm not CA-RAZEE.  I thank all of you for reading and following along, I especially want thank my husband and my babies for understanding that I'm serious about my business, and I thank my mama and my grandma Dottie and besties for always reading ;) --  it means a lot and I hope to keep it going for as long as I can.  That being said.....LET'S PARTY!

I asked a couple of my party friends if they'd be so inclined as to participate in a huge giveaway this week to celebrate my bloggerversary.....and they said SHO'!  So, please check back in tomorrow to find out all the deets on who's hopping in on the bloggerversary party train and to enter to win some fab-tastic prizes!  It's good stuff, ya'll!!!!

{Cupcake Monday} Ombre Stars July 4th Printables

I try not to be a gal who follows too many trends......but I admit, I have fallen for......

Ombre!  There.  I said it!

I have a fun new set in the shop today inspired by the Ombre trend.  I got some ombre stars goin' on and I threw in a lil' chevron - just because I could!!!!  Check out the whole collection available in the shop!

{Etsy Shop} ANNOUNCEMENT & New Listings

Just wanted to share a few new items I added to the Etsy shop!

With my work schedule, along with just being a wife and mom, along with demand from customers, AND my desire to add my Party-to-Go items to the shop, I decided to offer my deluxe party kits as printables.

I will still provide professional printing services for invitations and other party stationery, however, the full party kits are a bit too much for me to continue to handle at the moment. Hopefully things will change and maybe in the future, I'll be able to reinstate that service. In the meantime, here are some new items I just added to the shop as printables.

 A really fun summertime Popsicle themed party is a sure way to beat the heat!

I also updated a collection I created a few years back. It needed new life!  This Pink Baby Elephant Party printable set is just too cute!  I think it's perfect for a baby's first birthday or shower!  I love the colors too - has sort of a preppy feel to it!

I have all intents and purposes to take some REAL photos of these parties over the weekend - crossing my fingers - in the meantime, check out our other items listed the shop for more fun party printables & decor!

 

{Etsy Shop} Summer Printables Preview

I've been updating the Cupcake Wishes & Birthday Dreams party shop with a few new summer printables and I also made a few changes to other items in the shop.

Have a look around and check out our July 4th Fireworks SUPER DELUXE printable party kit - this a great set to have for this year's celebration. This was the same printable set I created last year for our family cook out and just added more printables to it.  It includes over 75 different designs to decorate your July 4th event!

I also added an Under the Sea printable kit that I designed last year and finally adding to the shop.  It's loaded with cute sea creatures and perfect for a beach or pool party.

There were a few invitations I'd made in the past that I really wanted to re-work. So, I made a few minor changes to some of them. I'm still working on getting everything else in the shop finalized, but just wanted to share what I've gotten accomplished so far.  Can't wait to share more new changes with ya!
