London Olympic Games {SWEETS} + eyepster glasses


How excited are you about the London Olympic Games...don’t you wish you were there?!
We sure do!…but that doesn’t mean we’re not going to celebrate and enjoy the events like if we were there!! I personally get really excited and a way to show it of course is making some sweets for our mini party at home!

You guessed it, we will be enjoying cookies, cupcakes and some drinks in front of our TV! Our party wouldn’t be complete without our fun London themed glasses, part of a novelty collection by www.eyepster.com …have you seen them? As soon as we saw them we fell in love with all of the designs they offer, and if that wasn’t enough you can actually customize your OWN!! They will be the perfect addition to your next party!
 Here’s my husband having fun with them!
And here are a few of my favorites:



Enjoy!!

I always wonder how our client's celebrations look like, how do they add special touches to the day and of course...how are our favors displayed!...Donna Collins from Party Wishes totally made my day when she shared this with us ;)

She created a beautiful Earth Day Lorax inspired party and not only was a fun gathering for the guests but they actually got to do a lot of Earth conscious activities and that def gives this party a two thumps up!

And check out our Lorax mini cookies as the party favors with sunflower seeds on the back!! Love this idea ;)
