Another Great Tinsel Foil Fringe Curtain by Happy Time!

New Year's Eve...here I come! Everyone should have an awesome backdrop for holidays, parties or special occasions, especially when picture taking is involved. I love backdrops.  They just make any photo or video, pop, and can turn your ordinary photo into something special.

I've been doing YouTube videos for quite some time, but just only recently, been incorporating backdrops and backgrounds into my videos, trying to make them look more appealing and professional (I still have a long way to go!)  They are just so fun to work with, especially when you have a shiny, glitzy backdrop as this Happy Time Tinsel Foil Fringe Curtain, shown here.

I had a lot of fun, (probably my funnest) creating a video using this vibrant blue tinsel foil curtain.  This tinsel foil fringe curtain is perfect to hang in doorways, creating a fun entrance into the next room, to a party.  It's also perfect for New Year's Eve and for those baby showers and birthdays.  And...being that this tinsel foil curtain is 3.2 feet by 9.8 feet, it's plenty long enough for us tall adults.

If the tinsel foil is too long, you can always cut it at the bottom, saving the cut ends and using them to fill in any extra gaps in your curtain.  You can also cut the length you need, if using this tinsel foil curtain to decorate your tables.  There are just so many ways you can use this Happy Time Tinsel Foil Fringe Curtain and OH....did I mention this came as a 3 pack...with a package of 5 free balloons!  The balloons has this confetti inside, making them the perfect addition to your party!

I will mention, if you are using this for a doorway entrance, one curtain should be sufficient.  But, if you are wanting a fuller and thicker look, such as for videos and photos, it will definitely take all three packages.  I also added more bulk to my backdrop by taking the very bottom ends and folding them up towards the middle  and top, to give me that fullness I was looking for.  The curtains has a double sided tape, allowing you to attach to a smooth wall, but if your walls are not as perfect, skip using the self adhesive tape that is attached to these curtains and use thumbtacks to keep in place.

Happy Time Tinsel Foil Fringe Curtain - The Perfect Backdrop for Any Occasion

Whether you are having a birthday party, wedding, baby shower or New Year's Eve party, you have to have some kind of backdrop for photos.  I love backdrops.  They just make any photo or video, pop, and can turn your ordinary photo into something special.

Bubbles of Fun For Parties, Birthdays and Everyday with iLearn iPlay Bubble Camera Bubble Shooter

Are you ready to have some fun? Spring and summer are just right around the corner and approaching fast and this is the time for kids (and adults) to get outside and start having some fun in the sunshine.  

I don't know about you, but I'm NOT a winter person.  I hate the cold and I'm so ready to enjoy some days outside, just relaxing in the sun, watching my grandson play.  Our backyard looks like a playground, minus the climbing toys.  There are trucks, cars, balls and riding toys everywhere!  You would think we had a child that lives with us.

He's really going to love the outside when we bring in the bubbles; Yes...bubbles!  I recently got my hands on this cute and fun Bubble Camera and Bubble Shooter Machine by iLearn iPlay.  It's a cute blue elephant, that has multiple bubble wands in its mouth, that shoots out tons of bubbles when you fill him up.

When I first showed Brody this and how it worked, he laughed, danced and threw himself in front of the bubbles.  This, of course, was inside my house, where I only had about 10 minutes for him to enjoy it before his mommy came and picked him up.

He did not want to part with it.  He kept reaching for it as he was leaving and was not happy until he left with it.  The iLearn iPlay Bubble Camera Gun Developmental Bubble Shooter Machine is awesome for those birthday parties, kids activities and even for those professional looking pictures when you want to include bubbles in your photos.

The iLearn iPlay Bubble Camera Shooter comes with a bottle of bubble solution.  The bubble machine is easy to operate; just pour in some bubbles, hold down the button and watch your child enjoy hours of fun, romping through bubble galore!  The iLearn iPlay Bubble Camera Shooter Machine is great for developing social interaction, cognitive process, color identification as well as play and life skills.

The iLearn iPlay Bubble Camera Shooter Machine is safe and durable.  It is made of non-toxic ABS plastic.  You can place this bubble machine up on a table, inside or outside, so kids can run through the bubbles.  The Bubble machine requires 2 AA batteries (not included).  The only batteries I had were old and not new, so imagine the tons of bubble fun when new batteries are used!

Create Your Own Personalized Special Occasion Plates with Createurplate

Weddings, birthdays, baby showers and even the holidays.  We want it to all be special, perfect and adding the smallest and unique details seems to make us happy when everything is perfect.  A lot of us women love to have everything color coordinated, organized and everything in its place when the guests arrive. 

One of the ways I have found to personalize a party, to be more exact, a baby shower, is to add customized plates.  Sure, you can have a party with just paper or plastic plates, china or what have ya, but to add someones name and that customized design, that goes with the whole theme of your party...well, that another thing!

These plates, created by me, at Createurplate.com, are for an upcoming baby shower that I am planning in September.  These are very very sturdy disposable plastic plates, that can be personalized with clings.  The clings are individual film like material, that is added to the back of the plate, centered.  I absolutely love these!  Since the baby shower I am hosting is a princess, pink and gold theme, I found the perfect plates to match!

Createurplate.com has tons...and I mean tons..of designs to choose from.  The plates and clings are sold separately.  The plates are available in glass dinner plates, glass salad/dessert plates, disposable dinner plates and disposable salad/dessert plates.  You can order clings for all of your plates or order clings for half of them.  Want a different cling for half the plates?  Why not!  Order clings for half of the plates and another cling for the others!

You can shop Createurplate.com by Everyday Designs, Occasions and Featured Artists.  For birthdays, you can add your precious child's face and wording to a plate!  How cool is that?  Every holiday, occasion, design you can think of, you will find that you can create a plate for that.  

Here are just a few designs you can choose from when thinking about your next holiday or special occasion party!  They range from graduation to tailgating!

Fingerprint Tree Baby Girl Shower Guestbook Print by The Fingerprint Shop

I've been to many baby showers, but how many of you have a baby shower guestbook?  I can honestly say, I've been to only one, where a guestbook was provided.  I think this is such a neat idea and it's a great way to keep track of who all attended...not to mention, perfect when it's time to send out those thank you cards!

This adorable print is created by The Fingerprint Shop on Etsy.  This arrives at your home, personalized, with your baby's name and date of shower.  It's not your traditional guestbook, but a neat and cool alternative for your guestbook. Your guest can sign the print, front or back, and then you can frame it for a keepsake.  Great addition to a nursery!

You have the option of the green fingerprint balloons or no fingerprint balloons. As you can see in the photo, I chose no fingerprint balloons.  There are tons, and I mean tons, of colors to choose from. Just take a look at the photo below!  You also have the option of choosing the size for your print.  Sizes available are 5 x 7, 8 x 10 and 11 x 14.  

This print is completely and totally customizable.  Want a different colored baby shirt?  What about the text on your print?  Why not choose your font as well! You can choose the many colors available and Anna, over at The Fingerprint Shop, will design the print to your liking.  This print makes for a great baby shower gift and baby shower decor for your party.

The print is printed on premium bright white, acid free, 110 pound overstock. They come unmatted and unframed. The prints arrive very fast, usually within 1-2 business days and they arrive in a protective sleeve in a rigid stay flat mailer.

These prints are so cute and so adorable and I can see many parents hanging this up in their baby's nursery.  Go check out The Fingerprint Shop for this print, plus tons of other available prints.  Not only do they offer the baby print, but other cute prints as well.

Metallic Gold 3ft x 8ft Gold Foil Fringe Curtains for Parties

I've always loved shiny and bright things ranging from jewelry to party decorations.  That is why, when it comes to one of the baby showers that I am hosting, this gold foil fringe curtain caught my eye.  With colors of the shower being a combo of pink and gold, a princess theme, this gold fringe curtain will make a great backdrop for shower.

This gold foil fringe curtain is 3ft x 8ft, plenty big enough to cover a generous amount of area, that will be displayed behind the dessert table for an upcoming baby shower.  Weaving in some pink streamers, the gold foil fringe curtain will look awesome, shining through the streamers.

The 3ft x 8ft gold foil fringe curtain is great for backgrounds and backdrops, as well as a doorway entrance (I've actually thought about this too!)  The gold curtain has a metallic gold shimmer that is sure to draw a lot of attention.  It is very lightweight and has a strip at the top, where you can peel and apply to any doorway or wall.  It comes folded around a cardboard piece, making it easy to just unwind.

The tinsel fringe curtain is made of individual strands of gold fringe, allowing you and guests to walk right through it.  It would be really nice to have this hanging from each doorway or entry point into the shower, but my plan is to use this as a backdrop, to cover and hide a chalkboard.

This foil fringe curtain is also available in silver.  Try mixing the gold and silver together for a party, shower or special occasion and you have one blinged out party decoration!

The 3ft x 8ft gold foil fringe curtain is sold by Dirongke, on Amazon.

Vintage Pink and Gold Paper Straws for Baby Shower and Weddings-Set of 25

Every one knows, when you are planning for a wedding or baby shower, you must have everything order.  From the flowers, decorations, cake...even right down to the smallest details such as cups and straws!

These unique and shiny straws are by Glitter Saturday on Etsy.  Glitter Saturday was generous enough to send me these straws for my review, and I must admit, these straws are actually prettier in person!  You get a set of 25, ranging from shiny gold chevron, gold polka dots, pink with polka dots and stripes.  

The straws are very sturdy, probably more sturdier than your actual plastic straws.  I didn't want to damage any of them, but I did try to squeeze one, just to see if they would give or smash...you know...being made of paper and all! Well, to my surprise, they did not give, crush or bend at all!  Now, I didn't go out to try to destroy the straws, but it would take some effort to crush them.

These straws are perfect for decorating slim vases at a baby shower or wedding, party or any special occasion...great for the pink and gold princess themed party.  You can even distribute them out into individual cups, making your guests feel extra special with their own decorated straw!

These are fun little straws that will add flair to any party, but not only can they be used as drinking or decorating straws, but can also be used to make creative cake pops and crafts!  The straws are 7 3/4" long, food safe, eco friendly and sturdy and they come packaged in a cellophane bag.

I love how the metallic colors of the gold on the straws reflect in the light.  So glitzy!  If pink and gold aren't your colors, Glitter Saturday on Etsy has tons of other colors, ranging from Pink Lemonade (pink and yellow), Bumblebee (yellow & black), Gender Reveal (pink & blue), 4th of July (red, white & blue) plus tons and tons more.  

Glitter Saturday also has confetti.  No, now your ordinary shredded paper confetti, but confetti that are shaped like round discs and sprinkled with shiny glitzy glitter.  These, too, come in various colors!

Go check out Glitter Saturday and discover what all Shannon has to offer.  The name of her Etsy store says it all!

Pink and Gold Mommy-To-Be Pin - Baby Girl Baby Shower

Baby showers are a fun way to get all your friends and family together to celebrate the upcoming arrival of a new baby.  It's a time to go all out on baby clothes, necessities and decorations.  But let's not forget about the mommy-to-be.  Mommy-to-be has to have something for herself, not just for the party. 

One of the things a new mommy HAS to have, is a Mommy-To-Be ribbon pin. This is pinned to the mommy's outfit, to let everyone know, who the mommy-to-be is (like it's not that obvious!)  This mommy-to-be pin is handmade by Debra, an Etsy seller who has ChicBabyCakes Etsy store.  Debra was kind enough to provide me this mommy-to-be pin, done in a range of pinks and gold...the color theme of my friend's baby shower. 

This pin not only has the colors of pink and gold, but also white with pink and Chevron.  The top part of the pin is done in a circular fashion, with the white, Chevron, pink and white polka dots.  Grosgrain ribbon hangs down from this pin, coordinating and matching all around.

I also discovered, that this mommy-to-be pin can also be used to decorate a baby diaper cake or act as a decoration for the main baby shower table.  I love how this pin will go perfectly with the pink and gold theme that we will have going on at the baby shower, in September.  

This pin can also be done in different colors.  Just let Debra know what color theme you need and she will try to hook you up!  ChicBabyCakes usually responds within several hours...not days, so you can be assured that you will get your customized mommy-to-be pin in plenty of time, before the shower.


Not only does ChicBabyCakes offer this Mommy-to-Be pin, but they also have tons of baby items, including diaper cakes, which I might add, look awesome!

It's A Girl Baby Shower Decorations

In as little as two more months, I will be hosting a baby shower.  Not only will I be hosting a baby shower in September, but I also will be co-hosting one next month.  The first baby shower, in August, is held by my step-daughter's mom, with me being a co-host.  She has done most of the planning for my step-daughter's shower, with decorations and all, but I get to put a lot of the crafts together as well as making the cup cakes.

The second baby shower....Well, I can say I'm just as thrilled, as the decorations, location and organizing the most part of it.  She had already decided on the theme...Pink & Gold Princess theme.  This was going to be fun, but also a little stressful getting everything together, making sure that I had everything I needed.
 

Thanks to some awesome people, the decorations are beginning to come around.  I'm very thankful that Konsait, a seller on Amazon, has sent me this cute 'It's A Girl' banner along with the pink and white tissue paper pom poms. For only $14.99, you get a set that includes an 'It's A Girl' banner, 6 white and 6 pink tissue paper pom poms.

The banner is made of a sturdy card stock like material, that has black lettering, spelling out, 'It's A Girl.'  In between the words, there is a heart card.  The banner is made out to look like a baby onesie...so adorable!  The cards come pre-punched, so you don't have to worry about punching any holes, yourself.  It also comes with a pretty pink ribbon (not the curling kind), that you can thread through the cards.

The pom poms comes in three different sizes...2x8, 2x10 & 2x14.  And remember, you get these three sizes in pink and white!  The pom poms are made of tissue paper with a gold ribbon wrapped around the middle.  All you have to do is unfold the tissue toward another, separate each tissue and form into a pom pom.  There is already a white string attached, to hang it from the ceiling.

Not only are these decorations great for baby showers, but can also be used for a nursery.  If you didn't want to use the banner, you can use the pink and white pom poms for birthdays, weddings and parties.

You can purchase your set on Amazon.  The set is sold by Konsait!

Westmoreland English Hobnail Glass Luncheon Set- Great For Parties

Past few weeks, I've been planning for not one, but two, baby showers.  Baby showers can sometimes be as almost stressful as wedding showers, with all the planning, making sure you have all the necessities, with hopes that you have everything you need for the party.

From thinking about everything I need for the 'theme' of the party to whether I've covered all basics, I tend to find myself trying to make everything perfect...or as near perfect as I can.

One of the things I find as a must have, is glassware.  Any type of glass dishes, bowls or candy cups that will add elegance to a party.  The glass set shown here, is the Westmoreland English Hobnail Glass Luncheon Set, sold by Invitingly Vintage, on Etsy.

If you are looking for unique pieces, Etsy is the place to go.  It's one of the first places I look, for that one of a kind item. This Westmoreland English Hobnail Glass Luncheon Set comes with 6 pieces.  It consists of 2 luncheon plates, 2 grapefruit bowls and 2 condiment cups.  This luncheon set is absolutely gorgeous!  The way the glassware shines underneath the lights, it's so beautifully made!

The set was made in Westmoreland between 1920-1940's.  The plates have an overall pattern of English Hobnail, along the edge of the plates, with a sawtooth rim.  The bottom of the plates have a pressed glass geometric pattern, very unique and elegant. The condiment or dip cups are small, dainty and have an English Hobnail pattern, as well as a pedestal base and a sawtooth rim.

The dimensions of the set are:

• Grapefruit Bowls - 1 3/8 inches tall & 6 3/4" wide
• Luncheon Plates-   8 1/4 inches tall 
• Nut/candy/condiment cups - 3 inches long, 2 inches tall & 1 3/4 inches wide

This Westmoreland English Hobnail Glass Luncheon Set is ideal and perfect for weddings, baby showers, parties, special occasions and holidays.  I wish you could see these dishes in person.  I can't explain just how beautiful this set is...the photos don't do them justice.

If you are into vintage pieces and looking for elegant and classy glass dish sets for your party, head on over to Invitingly Vintage, on Etsy, and check out all the things Mel has to offer!  They also have a beautiful Vintage Blue Willow Luncheon Set that reminds me of the dishes my grandmother used to have.

Ollieroo 3pcs Flameless LED Candle Lights 12 Color Changing with Remote Control and Timer

Tis the season to jolly! When decorating for Christmas and for the holidays, I think about all the colorful lights I can decorate inside my home, as well as the outside.  I love color when it comes to Christmas lights, as that is what I grew up with as a child.  Decorating the inside of my home usually involves Christmas tree, garland, lights, stockings and any other Christmas decor I have around.  I also l love candles, but those can sometimes be hazardous if left unattended, especially near curtains.

These candles, shown below, are totally the opposite.  I do not have to worry about setting something on fire or becoming a hazard in my home.  These candles are by Ollieroo.  They are LED candles that come with a remote control and timer.  They can be set on one color or multi color, steady lights or a slow flashing mode.  There are 12 different colors, a color for whatever mood you are in.  They are perfect for the holidays, as well as for weddings, party's or just to have around the house.

These LED Candle Lights by Ollieroo resemble a melted wax candle look.  They are smoke free, flame free and worry free.  They have a 4-8 hour timer setting, so you don't have to worry about running down the batteries.  They do require 3 AAA batteries (not included). There is a small switch on the bottom of each candle.  When not in use, it's best to turn this switch to the OFF position.  If you use the remote control to turn the candles off, your batteries are still running.  This will save on your batteries when not in use.

So, if you have a graduation, wedding, banquet events or any other celebration, grab you a few of these to set the mood.  You can get these by visiting Ollierioo on Amazon.  Ollieroo is currently offering FREE SHIPPING!
