Happy Spring!
Since we are in the middle of holidays, I have taken some of your requests and made some cute printables to help with your parties.  This week I have 3 new designs, Smurfs, Pink Poodle and Cars the movie.  As time goes by, I will be adding more to each of these, so be sure to let me know what type of printables you are looking for.

While I was sitting making these, I wanted to throw my own little party with the printables, but I don't think my husband would be too happy wearing a Pink Poodle Crown lol.  Have fun!

Hope you enjoy!

New Stuff & Coming Soon
Mardi Gras is now over, it was so nice to see my daughter riding as the Band Sweetheart this year.  I have been reading your emails and am currently working on a Cars movie themed section which should be out sometime within this next week and just finished some Easter party hats (thanks Maj-Britt for the suggestion) to help get your Easter printing off to a great start.

Quick Party Ideas
As always, you can find our Easter party printables by clicking here.  I came from a big family and my mom always had me decorating our home to show the holiday spirit.  Even though my family is small these days, I still do my best to keep the festive spirit going on a low budget.  For Easter decorating, I would suggest a pastel table cloth that you can get very cheap at party stores.  Printing Easter pictures from our site or others will help make your walls looking festive for you and guests.  If having a party, streamers are always my favorite way to go for decor.  You can buy rolls for cheap and decorate by twisting two colors together and hang from corner to corner or meet in the middle of the room from the wall corners.  I would suggest always twisting a lighter color with a darker as two of the shame shade might blend too much together.  Pastel greens, blues, yellows and even orange are the best colors for this holiday.  Don't forget to grab poster board or construction paper and get crafty on your own or look for color pages and let your kids color to place on your walls.  I like to search google for great ideas.  Have fun!

Enjoy!

Mardi Gras starts soon, so grab your printables and have fun!
It's that time of year again and I love Mardi Gras.  This year my daughter has been chosen as Band Sweetheart and will ride in a parade as a princess, something I can't wait for :)  I have more printables coming soon, so I hope you enjoy!

In A Parade:
In years past, riders have used our printables to make products for to give from floats.  You can do that this year as well.  All other uses are limited to normal rules of personal use and classroom students.

Decorating Ideas:
Streamers in green, purple and gold fill out a room from corner to corner.  Twist and tangle some from tables as well as backs of chairs.  Buy colorful balloons in the same three colors and place around the room.  Masks are a huge part of Mardi Gras.  You can draw masks to play pin the feather on the mask on poster board with markers, color crayons or colored pencils.  Pin the feather on the side of the mask.  Look for plastic masks at your local party store to place around the room.  Don't select scary masks, instead look for masks that are feathery and/or colorful with Mardi Gras colors if possible.  Beads are cheap and important for your Mardi Gras party, purchase in purple green and gold and you can use them as party favors to put around guests necks as they arrive.
No matter how you celebrate, I am sure your Mardi Gras party will be a hit!

Valentines Day Is Getting Closer
I have made a nice amount of valentine printables and crafts that I hope you will enjoy.  I have been trying to push these out as soon as I could so that I can also work on the new Mardi Gras printables.  I hope those will be out as soon as possible as well.

Decorating For Valentines Day On A Budget
Here are some tips/product ideas to help you decorate your home or class for Valentines Day:
1. Streamer - purchase 2 colors, usually pink and white and twist them together from corner of the room to another corner.  You can also bring them from the corners and meet in the center of the room.  Streamers are cheap in cost and you get a long roll to fill a room per color, my favorite decoration.
2. Solid Color Balloons - Buy a bag of pastel color balloons and tape 3 per corner where your streamers meet.  You can also hang a bunch from the center of the room if your ceiling is tall enough.  Buying a bag of pastel balloons can save you a lot in money compared to mylar balloons or buying single colors.
3. Construction Paper Invites or Cards - Using pastel construction paper, cut 3 hearts in different sizes and place one on top of the other till you have 3 high.  Write on the back of the large heart your party info or your special message.  You can also find doilies in your local arts and craft store and cut heart shapes for cards.
4. Coloring Fun - Get in touch with your inner child and start drawing and coloring hearts, candy heart boxes etc. to place on your wall.  We also have free coloring pages that can help you decorate your walls.

No matter what you do, we know you will have a cute and fun time decorating.
