IT'S CREEPY AND IT'S CRAWLY

Who knew Spiders could be so fun?

We love our IKEA lantern's, they are so Versatile!!!

We applied vinyl spider webs and spiders to the inside of the lantern with spider webbing underneath!

(The spider webbing was a pain to work with, I would do something different next time!)

Who knew donut holes could double as SPIDER EGGS?  

Thank you for the great idea from here

This made a fun favor for each guest to take home.

I appreciated the napkin ring idea from here

Creepy and Crawly....  and so very fun!

A LITTLE BIT COUNTRY

When it is Cowboy Poet time we like to decorate a little country...

Putting a square of burlap and a bandanna in the mason jar helped to keep the  Sunflowers in place and We liked the look it gave.

We added just a simple paper napkin ring

And for their favor an "Edible Cow Pie"   aka  No Bake Cookie

WE LOVE THE U.S.A.

WE LOVE THE U.S.A.

These sailboats were made by just using a skewer on the sail anchored down in a circle of Plaster of Paris.  We bought the cute red and white stripe trays at Hobby Lobby.

We love to send our guests home with a favor, usually it is Chocolate so it was fun to do something different.  (Unless you are like me and LOVE only Chocolate)

WE CHERRY-ISH YOU

We do Cherry-ish our Senior Lunch Bunch!

It was fun to have such a bright happy theme.

 To make the Cherries for the Centerpieces we just used red balloons,  paper twist and paper leaves.

We did have to Glue the Cherries to a clear plastic so they would stand up.  We found our inspiration for the cherries here  

We made the cute cherry napkin rings from Candy Cherries, wire and twine. We were inspired by the idea here 

And...Everything is more cute with these cute red check tablecloths!

The Balloon Cherries even looked cute hanging on the wall!!

Maypole Centerpiece

In May we decided to do Maypoles for centerpieces.  It was fun to hear comments from that generation that had actually participated in doing Maypoles at school.

I just used thick cardboard cylinders ( like from plastic wrap or foil) and used Plaster of Paris in the cups to make them sturdy.

The napkin rings were made from Cupcake liners.  

Happy May Day!

You Are My Sunshine

"You are my Sunshine" 

This was a fun theme.... but  a little harder to think of a centerpiece.

I think the sun for a table topper made all the difference!!

Blast Off

We love to spoil our Seniors that come to our luncheons. 

 We try to always send them home with some kind of favor.

For July we went patriotic and made the centerpieces out of Rockets made with Rolo Candy Bar's!   

They loved taking them home!!

County Fair

Who doesn't love a County Fair?

We gathered our garden produce, bottled jams and a friend made homemade bread which put together made some fun centerpieces... and the best part  we drew names for them to take home the yummy food.

Monster Mash- Halloween

Isn't it great when Target's dollar section comes through for you?

We just added some pipe cleaners in a plaster of paris cup (Painted black )  inside so the eyeballs would poke out of the buckets.

We got the eyeballs at Dollar Tree and just drilled a hole in the bottom of them for the pipe Cleaner to go into.

Scattered chocolate eyeballs around.... Wow, easy peasy centerpiece!!  

We loved the bright colors!  The napkin rings all had eyeballs on too.

We brightened up the front wall with Paper Plate monsters and eyeballs!

Life Needs More Pumpkin Pie

We had a lot of fun with this theme.  Each table got their own Pumpkin Pie as a centerpiece, with plates and Whipped topping so they could dig in!!

We ordered the pies from a local company, Rocky Mountain Pie's and they were so good.

The wood slices gave the pie a little pedestal and we love when we can layer the table toppers !!  

It's not the best picture of the banner but it was so simple to make and we think it turned out pretty fun!  Thank you for the inspiration 

Santa Belt Christmas

It's always hard to decide on centerpieces for Christmas because there are so many amazing ideas out there.

This year we chose to do A "Santa Belt" theme.  It was a lot of fun!

We made three different sizes of cones for each table.  It was a lot easier to make the cones using a paper mache cone to form it around.

My inspiration came from here. 

We filled these gift boxes with yummy chocolate candy for them to take home

The Silverware and napkin holders added a lot to the table.
