A few days ago I hosted a Spring Fling — and you all gave my party so much {love}.
Thanks so much. As promised, I wanted to share a couple of tips and tricks from my par-tay.
A number of you e-mailed or commented asking what the backdrop was.
It was a shower curtain from Urban Outfitters. Isn’t it awe-some?
Having a sister who is a photographer is fabuloso!!
If you only knew some of the things photographers do for backdrops {smile}

I mentioned that I kept my eyes peeled for all the right pieces —
and, well, this was one of them. The tablecover/runner
pictured here is a twin sized sheet that I scored at Goodwill for $1.00. Boom!
I didn’t really mention the cupcakes, because these are your basic cupcake.
However, I added little sweet bling and tasteful goodness to these mini delights,
by placing a piece of Dubble Bubble gum on top.
Oh my goodness.
I thought that was the perfect touch!
Kind of dessert after dessert.
Fabulous, right?
The glass bottles that I used were recycled Starbucks Frappuccino bottles.
I {love} Starbucks in every possible way.
Whether it’s a food or drink, it’s hard to be disappointed.
So, it wasn’t too terribly difficult to drink these and have them ready for some party fun!
The stripey straws seem to finish the look
…..suddenly they’re picture perfect too.

Favor flair. Favors do not have to be extravagant.
A few pieces of candy seemed to be the right size for these bags.
Who would’ve thought these bags could go from cute to cuter after a few treats
were added along with a little paper crafting embellishments.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to e-mail me.
Sometimes I wish I was a party planner — Oh the joy that would bring me!
I hope I’ve inspired you to throw a bash. Party on, friends! Party on!

I love the Frappuccino bottle. I am addicted to the Frappuccinos and I use the bottles for so many things. My kids love being served drinks out of my saved bottles. I am stopping in from TheStuffofSuccess. Feel free to stop by and say hello. Have a great week. Athena

Oh my gosh – I am SOOOO planning that Frap bottle recycle for my son’s birthday in July!! I seriously must have at least 31 bottles that I’ve hoarded so far!! Hee hee…Great party ideas! Love the Goodwill find for the table – much cuter than simple plastic. I’m off to Goodwill soon :-)) Found you from It’s Overflowing linky party!
