Peeps!

Peeps! Recipes and crafts to make with your favorite marshmallow treat! Peeps are now the number one non-chocolate Easter candy. The projects and recipes highlighted in this whimsical book are surprisingly suited for any time of year. (unfortunatley the chick and bunny marshmallow versions are only available around Easter) This book would make a great addition to any party-makers library!

Who knew that peeps could make such adorable vase filler?
I love the place-card holder idea pictured on the lower left of the book cover!
Peeps are even useful for making accessories! Use them as stamps to make tote bags and more!

Take me out to the Ballgame!

Today is opening day for Major League Baseball! I know that my husband Matt is VERY excited! In honor of today, I thought I would post some inspirations for a baseball themed party. A "Take me out to the Ballgame" themed party can be thrown to celebrate many occasions like:

- a coed baby shower for a baby boy
- boy's first birthday
- adult birthday
- girl's birthday (especially if you change up some of the colors, exchange red for pink, navy for turquoise ect..)

Here are some ideas for a "Take me out to the Ballgame" Party!:

I found this tablescape on carolinapanache.blogspot.com!How cute is it? The centerpiece is so clever but so simple.
Baseball lanterns are available through Oriental Trading for just $4.95 for 3 lanterns!


What baseball party would be complete without coca cola, baby ruth bars, and Cracker Jacks?

I found these great baseball party ideas at settingthemoodwithjamee.blogspot.com!

- You could also serve beer, hotdogs, popcorn, peanuts, or red, white , and blue parfaits!
- Big League Chew would make great party favors for guests!
- Come up with a cocktail and call it a "Homerun"
