I literally threw together this birthday party in a day! Even I am surprised that I pulled it off!
But I found such great ideas from other craft blogs while we were on vacation. {Love you, craft bloggers!} I just had to make them all as soon as we got back. I had about 24 hours to pull it off. So if you are ever looking for some fast party ideas with big impact, these are worth noting:
Poke cake for the birthday cake...
Ice Cream Sandwich pops...inspired by this at Living Locurto.
I had to make some red, white, and blue cupcakes with Homemade Buttercream Icing!
I will make buttercream icing any time I have a reason to!
Red and blue Jello flavored popcorn...I found the recipe here at Claire's Creations.
...What are your "go-to" party ideas?...And seriously, I might have found my new July 4th tradition- Cheesecake Filled Strawberries! Mmmmm. Sadly, I don't have a picture of these, but I filled strawberries with cheesecake filling and topped each with a blueberry. I apologize for no pic. But we ate them all! And honestly, if it weren't for my husband (who knows I get super side-tracked during a party) I wouldn't have any pics at all. I think he took all of these. I did have to rescue them all with some quick editing in iPhoto. Note to self: Teach husband how to focus camera...even on auto.
aww looks SOOO cute! i bet it was a blast!
