Ahh March. I want to like you, but honestly, I’m usually just holding my breath until we get to April, or even May, or even June. Plus, you’re a bit of a tease. But then again, who am I to talk? But really, I am simply not cut out for cold weather, especially when little glimpses of Spring are dangling in front of me. You’re simply just too cold for me. So, I’ll wear green on the 17th and smile, but I’ve already made it through frigid January and February, so really I just want you to be over asap. The end.

Dicken's Village at Night
Creative Commons License photo credit: kevindooley These little Christmas villages are precious. My mother collected these as I grew up and added to it each year. Now we have a miniature Christmas world sprawling underneath our living room tree each year. The grand kids will sit down with their hands in their chins and look at it for hours. Ok, well maybe minutes. :)

Now all you need are some darling tea party invitations and you’re all set for an afternoon of tea and treats. And, to get ready for the guests, plan out a darling assortment of delicious desserts and snacks. Think special cakes made with heart shaped cake pans, artistic cupcakes, and gourmet appetizer ham and asparagus recipes.

Mmmm! These look so darling AND delish! I just love anything pink. When I get married, I’m going to be looking at everything from pink wedding cakes and chocolate and strawberries with pink accents to pink wedding flowers, decorations and bridesmaid dresses.

Of course, you don’t need to limit lavish celebrations to weddings only. If you’re an over-the-top party lover, live it up with your next birthday celebration, holiday party or barbecue bash.

For birthdays, it all starts with the right invites. Not sure where to get yours? You can find darling free printable birthday party invitations online to get exactly what kind of look and feel you’re looking for.

The next step is planning the food. Are you going to do an all out dinner party? Or are appetizers and desserts more your style.

The final thing to consider is the decorative aspect. This is perhaps the most important, since your pictures of the event will last a lifetime. You’d be surprised how many amazing decorations you can create yourself with a little inspiration and innovation. Have you checked out Pinterest lately? If not, you’re in for a treat.

Oh, what a few outdoor christmas lights can do. When it comes to the holiday season, I just can’t wait to put up my Christmas decorations. And yes, I leave them up all the way through New Years Eve and beyond!

I just love fall.. the air is crisp, the colors are delicious, and the weather is cozy. It’s the perfect time to start picking out which pumpkin you want to carve from your fall vegetable garden. After that, all you have to figure out is what you want to be for Halloween… Get creative by creating Halloween masks to complete your costume. Boo!
