Pinterest Easter

Ready for one last burst of Easter inspiration?  Take a peek at my Pinterest Board for Easter ideas.

My utmost favorite of all of these pins are these adorable bunny sugar cookies made out of egg shaped cookies made by Just Crumbs.  ADORABLE! I am definitely going to try to make these for my dessert table this Sunday!

So many of you asked for my bunny tags and toppers.  What are you doing with them?  Send me pictures so I can share.

Pretty Perfect

So excited to share two fabulous parties with you from last week around the web.

Pajama Party on Amy Atlas

This party theme is done so well.  I love the mixing of simple patterns and the double pink and black color scheme.  The cereal in the centerpieces is very clever and you can never go wrong with 36" balloons for a backdrop.  These balloons are especially useful if your dessert table isn't against a wall where you can hang stuff.

Its the perfect way to wake up.


Newly Hatched on Amy Atlas

This party was styled in part by Leoni Jena of Just Call Me Martha- definitely one of my favorite party stylist.  Her work is always beautiful, refined, fresh and classy.  You can see other examples of her work here and here.  I get so excited each time I see a feature of hers because I know it will be incredible.  Aren't these cakes amazing and I absolutely love the butter yellow and lavender color scheme!

Its the perfect spring party. Have a great day.

Make It Monday- Party Bunting

Happy Monday! I love this bunting and have seen variations of it used at many parties.  It is an amazingly simple to make and extremely versatile.  This bunting can be done in any size, length or color.  I really can't think of a party it wouldn't work.  Even better, after a quick lesson, my 10 year old daughter and her BFF made this for me.  I'm sure you could find some little hands willing to help!

Supplies-
Different fabrics- as many as you would like to use in as many colors you would like to use.
Ribbon- long enough to cover your space.  If you want the bunting to drape, make sure you account for that in your measurement.

Cut into strips.  Mine were roughly 2 inches each wide.  You will need the length to be roughly 2 times the desired finished length plus 3 inches (for the knot). 

Leave enough ribbon on one end to tie your bunting onto a table or nail.  Fold the bunting in half.  Place it under the ribbon.

Pull the loose ends of the fabric over the ribbon and through the loop.

 Pull taunt but not tight.

Continue on moving the streamers closer together as necessary and trim any lenghts that look funny.

You still have time to make it for your Easter table!
Thanks for participating in the giveaways last week.  All winners will be announced on Friday!  Have a great week.

Today's 100,00 page view giveaway

Sweet Designs By Amy Atlas

I absolutely cannot wait for this book to come out next month!  Amy Atlas is my party styling idol. My first "big break" came when my Thriller Party was featured on Sweet Design, A Blog by Amy Atlas.  I sent the party in as "why the heck not,"  never even considering there was the slightest chance I would ever even hear back.  It took them 10 minutes:)  Until I was featured, NO ONE knew I had a blog or Etsy store- not any of my family and not any of my friends.  I really had a strong desire to make it on my own and not because my family and friends were following me.  Honestly, until that point, no one was following me. In my first 8 weeks of blogging, I had 10 page views.  Accidents, I'm sure.  Being on Amy Atlas gave me the confidence that maybe I could actually do this.  I am so excited to give this book to one lucky reader.

100,000 Celebration and Give Away!

I love this quote from Pinterest (sorry it's a bit blurry).  It really motivates me, sort of kicks me in the rear.

I am so excited to share a big milestone for Bloom.  Our blog reached 100,000 page views on Sunday. When I started this blog and business, I made a mental list of goals I want to accomplish. This was the final one on that list.  Even in late January,  I thought that it would take over a year of blogging to reach this mark.  Happily, the traffic on our site the past few weeks has been amazing.  Not sure why, but SO DELIGHTED!  Thank you for all the sweet words and support.  It really makes all the time and effort that goes into this blog worth it.

To celebrate you, my readers, I am to do some giveaways for the rest of the week to celebrate things that Bloom has been proud of over the last 6 months.  This is the first...

$50 credit to my shop on Etsy 

My shop has gone through lots of changes this past year and now along with printables, I am offering some party supplies.
