To start it off, I have been researching how to make Pom Pom's; you know the Martha Stewart kind! Well, this tutorial is SUPER easy...who knew! And what a great decoration for any occassion...so many colors to choose from.

So here we go with the steps written out (Thank you Martha!):

Step One: 

Stack eight 20-by-30-inch sheets of tissue. Make 1 1/2-inch-wide accordion folds, creasing with each fold.

Step Two:

Fold an 18-inch piece of floral wire in half, and slip over center of folded tissue; twist. With scissors, trim ends of tissue into rounded or pointy shapes.

Step Three:

Separate layers, pulling away from center one at a time.

Step Four:

Bend wire into a loop to fit around napkin, and twist end around loop to secure.

Pretty easy! Give it a try and post your pictures of your tissue pom poms! I will be making these for numerous parties coming up and will post the pictures here! Stay tuned!!!

House Party: Budweiser and 4th of July!

GRAB SOME BUDS!!!

I did!!! :)

Sorry for the delay on this post!!

Hope everyone had an amazing 4th of July weekend!

I had the amazing luck of becoming a host for the Budweiser House Party!

What a great time. These parties area always so much fun to host.

Hosts recieve a box that comes in the mail (I just LOVE getting packages, cards..you know the old fashion snail mail kind..always makes me smile!) the week before the suggested party date. It is full of your goodies for the party.

Inside this box included: A $10 Visa Card, Grab Some Buds Koozies, Busweiser Cups, Budweiser frezbies, a Budweiser serving tray, a Budweiser apron, and rebates for me and my guests for some Budweiser!!!

I got to tell you, House Party has it down! They give you great ideas for games, entertainment and recipes! You just bring your friends. How cool is that?

I think these pictures and videos will sum up our weekend..ENJOY! Thanks to my MIL for having us over too! Her beautiful table and menu is always themed.

If you’re wondering what a House Party is..
Well, a House Party is thousands of parties across the country, hosted by people like us. Each event is sponsored by a leading brand (such as Kraft) and focuses on something cool that the sponsor wants its best fans to experience firsthand and share with their friends. Basically a House party lets you share the products you like with all your friends, free of charge! Companies love to promote these type of events because it spreads the word about their products.

What free stuff will you receive?
That all depends on the specific brand you’re throwing the party for. Each brand has their own unique Party Pack filled with all kinds of free stuff to make your party a success!
