What (color) inspires you?

Color can truly bring a P.A.R.T.Y to life.
This color wheel found here was so inspiring!
Whether going with monochromatic or complementary,
it is always great to have wonderful inspiration.
My today's pick...the Greens!Then I found this post here.
All 120 crayon names, and color codes. Quite fascinating!

Party Advice!

I have often been told that when throwing a P.A.R.T.Y always use white dishes. This is great advice! This allows you to mix and match any various pieces from expensive china to thrift store finds. Since all the pieces are white, it just works. *Bonus...you can always add any splash of color you choose! I have my own small collection, but I loved these beauties featured at The Party Dress.

Yummy, Beautiful, Delicious...

Cupcakes!!!
I made the mistake once and
spent nearly $30 for 24 cupcakes...OUCH!
I could have made my own for under $5
Above: (Jami's)Mini chocolate with blue frosting
for a baby shower...perfect cupcakes!
Look how beautiful...Bella Cupcake Couture

and...check out Martha Stewart's liner collection.

Next time I am definitely baking!

New found love...

I just discovered "Orangina" this weekend!

I haven't actually tasted it yet,

but can't wait to buy a case and down the whole thing,

and this is why...

Go out, buy a case...and save the bottles!

Then throw a shower and do this...

16 small arrangements...under 9 bucks. Totally worth every penny!

Fun-Funky-Chunky-Confetti

This cover was my inspiration...
Look at that huge confetti!!!

I just had to have it for a party!
So, I went shopping and this
beautiful wrapping paper is what I found...
but in many more colors and iridescents!
Each roll was only a dollar...the price was right!
I discovered that by removing
the inside cardboard roll
and cutting the paper into 1" chunky sections
then cutting each newly created circle section in half
I now have my own

fun-funky-chunky-confetti!!!
