Printable Seed Packet Assembly

These packets were printed on text weight (~32lb) glossy paper. I think this gives the most realistic seed-packet look. However, most home inkjet printers cannot print on glossy text weight paper, so you may want to opt for having a print shop or copy center run them off for you.

For my own wedding in 2007, I knew from the start I wanted to do seed packet wedding favors with wildflower seeds.  Using the seed packet templates from our Sunnyside Print & Party Shop you can easily create your own amazing little packets for any occassion.  The process is pretty simple…  order your custom packet design (only $15) then get to assembling.   Click for larger images.

Hydrangeas Bridal or Baby Shower

19th Mar 2013

There are certain plants that just have a natural association with the South: especially hydrangeas. They remind me of summertime and front porches and a by-gone era.  These big, puffy, blooms in shades of white, pink and blue are delicate and beautiful.   Perfect for a wedding, bridal shower or baby shower, perhaps with a Love Is In Bloom or a Baby is Blooming theme?  In addition to invites, recipe {Read more...}

Mason Jar Invites

25th Feb 2013

It’s no secret that I absolutely adore mason jars.  I use them for drinking glasses, for vases, for storing my dry baking ingredients and planting herbs.  They were the centerpieces at my wedding reception, filled with wheat and wildflowers and accented with half-pint candles.  So maybe I went a little overboard with my mason jar invite designs in the Sunnyside Print & Party Shop. I love each and every one {Read more...}

Chocolate Play Dough Activity

24th Feb 2013

Every time my little guy plays with this chocolate play dough, the whole house smells delicious! I’m not sure how this would work with a younger child since the scent is so enticing, but he is 4 and old enough to understand that it’s not to eat. This is actually the second time I have made this with my little guy. The first time we used cookie cutters and cupcake {Read more...}

I have used a lot of hosting companies over the years.  And there is a lot to consider when choosing who is going to host your site.  Here are my big three: Customer service availability.  As a work-at-home mom, my hours are crazy.  If am working on a project at midnight and I need to get in touch with someone, it’s important to me that I don’t have to wait.  {Read more...}

24th Feb 2013

It’s become a tradition in our home that on Sunday mornings I make homemade waffles. Every week my husband is sure to ask if we have enough buttermilk in the fridge in anticipation for our Sunday morning waffles. I have tried a number of waffle recipes and these from Martha Stewart are by far our favorite. I usually halve the recipe below, and in my round Bella Rotating waffle maker {Read more...}

Well it has been a while…. baby girl arrived early! We are doing well and so happy to have her here, safe and sound. I’ve been wanting to share the beautiful baby shower my sister put together for my cousin and I (she is expecting a baby girl after 4 boys) … so the occasion called for lots of pink!

Banana Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

17th May 2012

Perhaps it was the browning bananas sitting on my counter or just mark it up to a pregnancy craving, but I couldn’t get the idea of a banana bread with cream cheese out of my head. I ended up trying Martha Stewart’s banana cupcake recipe and used my new go-to cream cheese frosting from the carrot cupcakes we made at Easter. Topped with just a little chopped walnuts… yum!!  These also {Read more...}

Strawberry Handprint Art – Berry Sweet Free Printable

10th May 2012

Instead of purchasing store bought cards, I always try to make something for special occasions – and I have to admit our holiday crafts usually involve some sort of handprint/footprint art!  It’s meaningful to the recipient, fun for us and (usually) easy clean up! I’ve had this post from House of Baby Piranha pinned on my Pinterest board forever and thought it would be perfect for little guy’s four grandmom’s (yep, {Read more...}
