BABY SHOWER PRINTABLES

BABY WORD SCRABBLE FREE PRINTABLE

JOANNANo comment

Baby showers are a great way to get friends and family together to celebrate mom to be! This is such a special time in the families life and people love getting together to celebrate the occasion. If you have ever put together a baby shower (or bridal shower etc.) you know exactly how much work goes into planning and executing the event. After spending hours on the decorations and food, the last thing you need to worry about is if people will interact with each other or if the room will be silent!

Having a few party games is always helpful in breaking that silent lul that can happen when the crowd is filled with random strangers! I always like to have a few games on hand to use when the room needs a pick me up! Hosting events like these can be a little difficult because various groups of people need to mingle together and stay entertained.

For this weeks post, I have created a free baby shower party game printable for you to use at your next baby shower event. I hope the group has fun playing it!

ETSY PARTY SHOP GUIDE

JOANNANo comment

There are so many amazing party shops on Etsy that provide such unique items and products. I love browsing them and using the images as inspiration to bring together tablescapes and party designs. Sometimes just walking through the aisles of Michaels or browsing through the pages of Etsy help reenergize my mind and inspire a new creation from the smallest product. A colourful fabric can be the start of a small idea that turns into a full creative party table – that’s what I love about this business! Getting to be creative and using my imagination is definitely the best part!

My goal one day is to open up my own Etsy shop with various party inspiration but until that becomes a reality I can’t wait to share these below! I have purchased from some shops and been eyeing products at others. All are filled with unique party supplies that will definitely raise the bar at your next party!

HALLOWEEN PRINTABLES

HALLOWEEN KIDS HAUNTED HOUSE FUN + FREE PRINTABLE

JOANNANo comment

Halloween definitely tops my list of holidays that I love and I enjoy celebrating it every year. As a kid, my parents would go all out on the decorations especially my dad whos personal mission was to make the outside of our house as fun/scary as possible. This usually involved us stuffing newspapers into all sorts of items that would turn into large spiders, scary ghosts or crushed legs coming out of the garage (my fav!). Sometimes our costumes were purchased and other times they involved some genius handcrafting but we always had a blast trick or treating in our neighbourhoods. As I grew older I never forgot the fun feeling you get as kids around the holiday. Halloween is full of entertainment and candy as well as scary mystery and magical creatures. It is always surprising and every year can bring its own set of fun. One of my favourite parts of Halloween was when someone created an epic haunted house (not too scary) and we got to go through it as kids. That was always so fun!

For this Halloween, I wanted to create a fun mini version of a Halloween haunted house you can do with the kiddos at home! Nothing too scary but a lot of fun and interactive. I’m hoping this has them laughing and enjoying the monster parts I have come up with!

DRINKS

AUTUMN SANGRIA

JOANNANo comment

I am absolutely obsessed with sangria and cannot turn down a glass when it is offered! Personally, the sweeter the better from my perspective but all of them are equally delicious (red, white and rose). Whenever I go to a new restaurant/bar I enjoy trying out their version of the sangria that they offer. I am always surprised by the different flavour combinations one simple drink can provide.

Although typically the sangria cocktail is a summer drink (patio season is bliss), I wanted to bring it into the season with some additional fall flavours. Who wants to let go of a good thing just because the leaves are turning colour !? With the holiday season approaching, it is always a nice option to have on hand for drinks and sometimes even needed after all those family dinners (I kid – well maybe a little!) Bring on the autumn sangria I say! The more the better!

TABLESCAPES THANKSGIVING

THANKSGIVING TABLESCAPE: OLIVE GREEN & GOLD THEME

JOANNANo comment

Thanksgiving is right around the corner here in Canada and it feels like it came quite early this year. Our traditions are pretty low key around this time of year, mainly involving getting together with family for the big ol’ turkey dinner (although half of us are vegetarian/vegans so the turkeys a little smaller nowadays!) and fitting in some fun Oktoberfest time. The city we are from celebrates Oktoberfest in a big way and we thoroughly enjoy it!

I love decorating for all holidays and seasons and Thanksgiving is no exception. Knowing the fall season was going to come in full force I wanted to start planning my Thanksgiving table early on. I am so excited to share this year’s Thanksgiving tablescape because I had the pleasure of coordinating with Kusala from Kukaru Designs on it! If you have not checked out Kusala’s website yet she provides tutorials on sewing and knitting and has various resources available on www.kukarudesigns.com. She also has a scrunchie tutorial that I have been eyeing and just may have to attempt shortly!

We started brainstorming this tablescape weeks ago and we knew we wanted to do something different than the typical fall colours. We both love the fall season and we’re excited to collaborate on this gorgeous tablescape! I hope you enjoy what we came up with because its really starting to feel like fall over here and we are in the celebrating mood. Check out all the fun details below!
