I had to share this paper flower backdrop tutorial created by Ellinée because I think it is so beautiful and original. I love the 3D nature of it. How amazing would this look behind a dessert table!

The tutorial comes with the paper flower garland templates and instructions. You just need to download the templates, cut out the flowers, attach the flowers to baker's twine using an embroidery needle, and tie the twine to a pretty branch.

Need to add a little punch to your back to school party? Or how about something to hang up the morning your kids head back to school?

We're giving away this adorable "back to school" banner from Amy of Amy Mattes Designs.

These muffins are perfect to serve at a brunch (possibly a Mother's Day brunch) because they are delicious and oh so beautiful!

They are not like the muffins you buy at your local grocery store that are dense, sweet as cake, without a lot of blueberry flavor and it's all thanks to the buttermilk!! ** My secret ingredient!**

As I've mentioned before, I'm on a strict budget for Adelaine's party and the rule at my daughter's preschool is you have to invite the whole class. That means I'm throwing a party for 60+ people. Yikes.

My whole philosophy about throwing a great party is that you only need a few unexpected details to make it special. Well, for this party, which is today, I'm living my own advice.

So what are my unexpected details?

Ivona from Sugarsticks Parties created these adorable party printables with a little girls' tea party in mind.

But they're so pretty and versatile, they could be used so many types of celebrations -- a garden party, a birthday party, a Mother's Day brunch. I just love all the sweet flowers!
