Kissing Fish Bridal Shower: Favors

January 20, 2012 By Holly Leave a Comment Filed Under: Bridal Showers, Kissing Fish Bridal Shower, Party Favors

The bride asked a few family members to bake homemade cookies to give away as favors at this shower. I simply added favor tags to brown boxes and guests got to choose which cookies and treats they would like to take home. It was a huge hit! The favor tags for these boxes are now available in […]

Kissing Fish Bridal Shower Centerpieces

January 18, 2012 By Holly Leave a Comment Filed Under: Bridal Showers, Kissing Fish Bridal Shower, Party Decorations

Inspired by these great centerpieces on One Charming Party, we made ‘fish bowls’ for each table using blue paper and tiny fish cut-outs in glass vases. Tissue paper flowers were put inside, and the pictures from the couples engagement session were displayed on tables around the room.

Kissing Fish Bridal Shower Decorations

January 17, 2012 By Holly Leave a Comment Filed Under: Bridal Showers, Kissing Fish Bridal Shower, Party Decorations

This party was a lot of fun to decorate for. The groom’s favorite color is orange (go Texas!) and so we used orange and blue as the main colors. The shower was at a beautiful restaurant, so the only thing we did was the dessert table and the guest’s tables. We collected glass vases and jars […]

Instead of a normal centerpiece, we made this train track to run down the center of the table. Kids had fun sending their trains down this giant track. Our complete Train Party Guide is now available in our etsy shop!

Train Party Activities

September 29, 2011 By Holly 1 Comment Filed Under: Train Party

When kids first arrived at the party, we let them each assemble and paint their own wooden train (which we found at Maple Landmark). Set out washable paint and plenty of paint brushes and let kids have fun.  Make sure to do this at the beginning of the party so they have plenty of time […]

Welcome to northern Minnesota, circa 1995. My Grandpa built me a dollhouse for my 5th birthday, and 30 years later, I gave it back to him. For the first six months of the pandemic I transformed the tiny house into a replica of my grandparent’s house circa 1995, re-creating some of my favorite memories of holidays and summers gathered together as a family at their Minnesota lake home. The remodel started when my family got stuck at my parents during the stay-at-home orders, and when it looked like we would be there a while, I dusted off the old dollhouse to create something new. The original plan was to make it look more modern. Then, I got the idea to make it a miniature version of my favorite place on earth. Although it only stands 3 feet tall, it is full of tiny details and some of my favorite childhood memories. #11cupcakes #artistherapy #dollhouseminiatures #dollhouseminiature #dollhousetherapy #dollhousetour #miniatures #covidprojects #covidproject @mforminiatures

She insisted on dressing up like Reba McEntire, and thanks to her new love of country music I now know all the words to ‘Consider Me Gone’. Happy Halloween from the Queen of Country Music and her dinosaur sidekick. 🎃🎤🦖
