When I first saw Kate A's Under the Sea Birthday Bash, I was blown away by all the amazing details.

I see a party like this and I want to know the story behind it. So I approached Kate and asked if I could do a spotlight feature on her party. I sent her a list of questions, and here's her story...

Wow, what gorgeous FREE Christmas printables Renee and Alex from The Inspired Occasion designed for us to give away! I just love how playful and modern they are!

There are blank Christmas party invitations, cupcake toppers/decorative circles, a large "Celebrate Christmas" bunting banner, food label tents/place cards, drink flags,  and my personal favorite... a cake bunting banner (for those of you who don't know, it's a mini banner to hang from mini wooden dowels to decorate your cake)!

This week's party photo comes from Frog Prince Paperie's Gingerbread Christmas Cookie Exchange.

I asked Amy if I could repost the tutorial she did on her blog, Buggie and Jellybean, and she generously agreed. So according to Amy, here's how you make these simple but delicious treats...

I've been so inspired reading about Chris Nease's work with Operation Shower on her blog, that I had to call her up personally to talk to her about it. Chris is the creative mind behind Celebrations at Home, one of my must-read party and entertainment blogs.

Operation Shower is a nonprofit organization that throws baby showers for pregnant or expecting military families. Chris has helped coordinate two showers for them in the DC area along with Amy Belle Isle from Stem Parties, who is Chief Event Organizer. The latest shower was held in October at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center and boy did they do a great job!
