I'm not talking dog-themed parties, I'm talking parties for your dog. We've been seeing a bunch of cute one on our main site, so of course I had to show them off.

My dog, Gertie (the most adorable black and white Tibetan Terrier you've ever seen), was once she was invited to a fancy dog party that had a doggy masseuse and doggy cartoonist, I kid you not. Remember, we live in LA.

I have been a fan of the hamburger cupcake for some time. Once they started popping up on our main site, I was sold! So how excited was I when Jodie from Party NV said I could repost her hamburger cupcake tutorial. Thank you, Jodie!

I always thought these were hard to make, but take a look at this tutorial and you will soon discover they are actually quite easy.  And talk about giving your party that cool "wow" factor...

Summer is in full swing, and how sweet of Krysten at Clickable Party to give away this collection of party printables to add some pizzazz to your summer shindigs.

The collection includes: party circles, cupcake wrappers, tented cards, a blank invitation, a "Happy Birthday" banner (in case it's someone's birthday!), an entire alphabet of flip-flops to make your own banner, food labels, votive labels, water bottle labels, favor boxes, and thank you cards. Phew, that's a lot!! Thank you, Krysten!

This is a new feature I'm starting where I find a gorgeous party on our site done on a tight budget, and I ask the Catch My Party member how she pulled it off.

This Ice Cream Social Surprise Birthday was put together by Shelley K. When I read on her party page that she put it together for a little over $100 I had to know how she did it.

I featured some adorable birthday girl outfits, but clothes aren't just for girls. As promised, here are some fabulous birthday boys in their cool birthday duds. I love showing these off!

Shalimar M's Kailan's Sesame Street Celebration

Holy cow! I made these salted brown butter Rice Krispie treats for our July 4th BBQ and they were so delicious!

If you love Rice Krispie treats but find them a little one-note and a little too sweet, this is definitely the recipe for you.

If you haven't seen Stacey W's U Pick Party, you are in for a treat. It's an end of school party she threw at a local hydroponic farm. I know... cool.

Stacey of Elle Belle Creative did almost all of this gorgeous party herself, including making these yummy fruit dip favors for her guests. What a great favor for a summer party. I love edible favors!

I want to wish you all a safe and happy 4th. Hope you are spending time with the people you love, eating great food, and having lots of fun!

We're heading to a friend's BBQ. I'll be eating a burger with all the fixings!

How beautiful is this ruffle cake Betheny T made for her daughter Alice's 1st Birthday. What I love the most are those magnificent gumpaste flowers. Wow, takes the cake to a whole new level, doesn't it?

Come get your party on with me tomorrow at Gevalia Coffee's Bean Chat from 10-11am EST. That's right, I'm going to be hosting!!
