Recently I organized a little "Dinner & Drinks with the Bachelorette" evening in Athens for this pretty lady who is getting married in two weeks!
When you google bachelorette party favors, the #1 result always has something to do with male parts. Well I wanted to make something a little classier than that...
So I came up with this little cocktail favor.
Supplies:
Small Glasses (we used these from IKEA)
Smirnoff Citrus, airplane bottles
Lemonheads
Yellow Starbursts
Cellophane Wrap
Small party favor bags, clear
Divine Twine, black and white
Recipe tags (or any tags you want to add, we had a total of 3 - lemon wedge, recipe, and a thank you)
Simply put 1 airplane bottle of alcohol, some lemonheads (I pre-portioned some in the little favor bags since I couldn't find individually wrapped candies), and some starbursts in each glass. Then wrap in cellophane and tie with the twine. Then attach all the little tags and voila - a fun little cocktail favor.
They were a big hit!
Yep, we've become those parents - we entered Baby G into the GAP Casting Call. We weren't going to do it at first, but then the possibility of just winning a big (as in $1000 big) GAP gift card made it seem worth while (and that's not even the grand prize!). and seriously, who wouldn't want this baby representing GAP? He's so dang cute! and he sits now!
So above are the 5 photos we entered into the contest (each photo a separate entry). If you want, you can vote for Baby G here, here, here, here, and here. YOU CAN VOTE FOR EACH PHOTO ONCE PER DAY - through November 14. That's a lot of votes!
Wish us luck!

Thanks!
...get this cool screen saver from Real Simple.
And as the last weekend of the regular baseball season, we're going to try and take Baby G to his first ever Braves game. Then we have a his & her shower to attend on Sunday for our favorite couple.
Have a happy weekend!

This is genius! and just in time for the holidays! This cookware would be the perfect way to solve all those cooking problems that might occur when you have just one oven. Simply bake multiple holiday dishes at once!
GENIUS.
This is definitely something I want for the future...you know, when I decide to start cooking holiday meals and all...

...this awesome mortar & pestle is going on our wishlist. We saw this in a store on our stroll through downtown Decatur and instantly knew it was something we wanted, eventually...
Made these delicious cupcakes last week. I really need to work on my piping skills and photography skills.
I'm really loving this polka dot tape from none such things. I just might have to get myself some for use around the home.

Another freebie for the weekend - a bunting thank you card. I can't seem to get enough bunting these days either.
Wishing everyone a fun-filled weekend. It's the first official weekend of fall and I'm super excited. This lady is coming to my home tonight so we can continue wedding making. and T has the WHOLE weekend off! Yay!
Happy weekend!

My favorite salsa has to be the mango salsa from Black Cat Burrito, one of my most favorite restaurants in Boone, NC. I get cravings for their delicious burritos often and it makes me miss Boone even more. If you're ever in the area, it's a must try restaurant.
With that said, I'm going to have to try this mixed stone fruit salsa. It looks delicious and will hopefully hit the spot when I'm in need of some Black Cat.

I'm always a sucker for fabric flowers. and these are no exception.
This beautiful fabric flower garland makes this birthday party so dreamy.
I seriously need to try my hands at making some flower garland.

I am really loving this idea. Just change the words and you could do this for any kind of party.
