sip 'n swap party collection: invitation

You've heard the saying: "One woman's trash is another woman's treasure".

When it comes to lucking up on a new wardrobe by shopping other people's closets, with a glass of wine in hand, I am all for doing that sort of digging.

Full collection coming soon!

camp glam party collection: glamping

What girl doesnt like to be pampered? Glamping {Glamour + Camping} parties are the trendy camping choice for us girlie girls! I've been wanting to do my own spin on a Glamping party for awhile.

One thing I tried to avoid with this design was: Pink. I think I've become "pinked out". {I blame my seven year old daughter}. I chose shades of blue and purple instead, and added a little sparkle here and there.

Instead of using a camping lantern I chose a candle lantern instead. I think it added a different touch.

For these cookie envelopes, I used clear treat bags I had on hand, cut them in a circle a bit larger than the hole, and used them to cover the cookie by taping them on the inside.

One thing I did not want to do was create the typical smores. Instead, I opted for a marshmallow cake and some chocolate candy bars along with pop tarts. The marshmallow cake was so easy to make. Bake a four layer cake as you normally would. Apply lots of icing and then press on the marshmallows. We used toothpicks to adhere them to the sides of the cake. Done.

No, this is not Charlie Brown's Christmas tree :-D

For the tent I used hanging closet shelf racks. We had extra ones around the house, so I improvised and taped them together with duct tape to connect at the top. The technology doesn't get any better than that folks. *My racks measured 3 ft high and 1 ft wide.

The purple fabric was purchased at Hobby Lobby. My fabric was 83" length but you may want to get more or less fabric depending on your choice of materials you use for the tent set up.
