Party Time!

Now that September is fully upon us, I have been happily busy with Pinterest Parties and making letter wreaths.

So far, I've done two parties... and they were a blast!  The first one, hosted by the lovely Miss Hayley, was a Leafy Letter party.  The ladies all did a great job and their letters looked fabu.

This last weekend I did a party that was a little different than the norm.  My sister hosted a spooky mother-daughter party.  Each little girl and each mom got to make a mason jar lantern.  It took a little longer than I thought it would, but the results were well worth the effort.

I love the way these look all lit up!  Once you figure out how to make these, which is pretty simple, the possibilities are endless.  You might notice we have a not so spooky, but still cute, snowflake, palm tree, and peace sign.

One wonderful discovery at the lantern party was a super tasty fall punch.  It is made with apple juice, cranberry concentrate, orange juice, and sparkling moscato.  It was really, really, ridiculously good.  Here is a link to a similar recipe on the blog Fleur de Lolly (the pretty pic is her's too), just substitute your favorite fizzy beverage for the ginger ale...or keep it if it needs to be kid friendly.  Enjoy!
