Tissue Paper Pom Poms

For these pom poms I followed the instructions from Martha Stewart, except I added several different colors in each pom pom. I also cut the ends in different ways, I cut a few of them on a diagonal, some rounded, and others pointed. I used a tissue paper multicolor pack from Hobby Lobby that I got on sale for 6 bucks!

I love how pretty they look hanging in bunches or strung one by one throughout the branches.

Painting the Roses Red 2

Remember when I posted this...Painting the Roses Red? I was finally able to use these adorable lights at our wedding shower for Haley, aren't they just pretty? The only thing I changed from the last tutorial was to hot glue the flower petals to the light bulbs, otherwise they will fall off when you hang them.

These are really fast to make. Jen, her daughter, and I whipped them up within an hour or so, and they made all the difference in the world...especially at night!

Sweet Sweet summer

As Jen mentioned in an earlier post we found the perfect Peppertowne gift for our sweet cousin Haley, who is getting married this weekend. Along with this gift we made her (which will be revealed soon, and is sure to be the best Peppertowne redo yet) we threw her a beautiful shower. She chose an  

Alice in Wonderland theme and Jen and I went straight to work. Here's a sneak peak at the dessert table.

From left to right: Coconut Macaroons, Mini Chocolate Tea Cakes, Peanut Butter Cookies, Mom's Excellent Cheesecake, and my personal favorite...Mini Lemon Tarts!

Over the next few days I will post all the recipes for you, and check back next week for all the shower decorations and details.
