Whew! This took me all week but I am done with the “Blue Polka Dot Whale Party Theme Pack!” …now onto pink whales!

Here are a few pictures of the big blue guys!

Blueberry lemonade with a customizable straw flag ~ Another cute idea would be to add a toothpick with skewered blueberries on it.

Polka Whale candy kiss dots! Add to kisses, mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, the lids of bottled water, sprinkle on counter tops as confetti!

Decorate cute pots and candy bowls with matching ribbon and a tag!

candy bar wrappers

I used powdered mini doughnuts as ‘Life Preservers’  and then to make the umbrella, I took a circle favor tag (included in the whale theme pack) and cut a slit in it halfway through the circle, then folded the circle in a bit to make a cone shape, taped with double stick tape, added a toothpick (I used a dab of clay to make the toothpick stay) and ta-da…a simple and cute little umbrella!

Another idea I had was to make blue jello and add a food pick to it saying

“Whale Blubber”

See the entire “Blue Polka Dot Whale Collection” over at my shop! It includes even more fun whale-themed goodies ~ cupcake wrappers, banners, clip art!

I have been dreaming up these little whales for quite some time now!

This week I will be working on our NEW Polka Dot Whale Collection ~ in both blue and pink theme packs.

There will be water bottle labels, favor tags, Kiss Dots, banners, candy bar wrappers and more!

My family and I snuck out of town for a couple of days to celebrate the 4th at my parent’s house! We had a ‘blast’! The neighborhood I grew up in has a parade every year and this year we celebrated the 30th anniversary of the parade! It was great to see my friends and all of their cute kids!

After the parade we zipped over to my parent’s cabin on Timberlake ~  ate tons of great food and watch some amazing fireworks !

Vacation time is over…and it’s time to get back to work!

I am working on some fun printable themes for the summer!

Sneek peek to come tomorrow!

One of our talented customers, Krista, had the idea for this “TuTu Cute Baby Shower,” ~  I designed some ballerina printables for her…and she just sent us some pictures of the big event! Super cute Krista ~ thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing Krista! So cute!

My 6 year old, Emma, made these ‘4th Of July Flip Flops’ ~ They were super easy to make and a great craft idea for the summer!

Here’s what we did:

• Bought some flip flops ($2.50 at Old Navy)
• Picked up some 4th of July-themed ribbon at the craft store
• I cut the ribbon into 6″ strips using pinking shears (to avoid fraying)
• I had Emma tie each ribbon onto the flip flops

Happy 4th Everyone!
