Father's Day June 20th

For me, men have often been difficult to buy gifts for. When I ask my husband what he'd like, I get a standard answer: tools. Oh man o' man! He doesn't mean screwdrivers or hammers. He means big,burly, manly, machinery tools. Stuff I know NOTHING about. Can't do it.
So, I ask again and I get this answer: steak. Ok. I can do steak (but he's gotta grill it!). I'll set the table, make the salad and decorate.  Yay! Decorate. Bring out the manly decorations!!!!!
uh... wait a minute. Where are they?

oh. Here's one!

Your the best Dude! Love ya!

Party Favors are my new 'favorite'!

Party favors are so much fun. I've always loved them. One of my imaginary 'I'd love to do' jobs is a kid's birthday party hostess. I get jazzed to come up with a theme & ideas, decorate and make it happen! Makes my mind spin (in a good way)!

Through the years, I've had a great time with each of my daughter's birthday parties. We've done everything from a Hawaiian 'hula' theme (we had hoola hoops instead of hula dancing!) to actually filming our own version of a High School Musical 'movie'party!
Crazy and fun!
I've never been into store-bought theme favors. I like to create my own. So it really isn't all that surprising that I've recently REDISCOVERED this joy. A little bit recycled, a little bit vintage. The possibilities are endless!
