St. Patrick's Day Party Invitation Idea


I may be a little old fashioned, but when planning a party with friends, I think that sending a paper invitation to your guests adds a really nice touch to your party. 



We are holding a cards and games kind of get together, so I created an invite that has the feel of a playing card.





I first created the card template on my computer and then printed it on these card that I got from Michael's. 




Finally, I created these middle clovers on a scalloped background using scrapbook paper, and put small sticker shamrocks in the corners of the card. 



What kind of party will you be hosting this year?

St. Patrick's Day Hostess Apron


Today begins our St. Patrick's Day Party Theme - over the course of the next 7 days, I will reveal TONS of tips, tricks, recipes, and crafts for your St. Patrick's Day Party. My husband and I are planning a card party with our friends for next weekend and will post pictures of the final project on Sunday!

Today I would like to showcase an apron I created in the St. Patrick's Day theme - Green and Orange! I absolutely adore it! Be sure to stop into our Etsy site to check out more of our hostess aprons. I will post this one on Etsy tomorrow morning in case any of you would like to purchase the one I made!




What do you think? I would simply wear this with a white t-shirt, jeans, and a mini leprechaun hat for my party outfit!

Have a great night!

Going Glam Full-Time


Hello Glam Fans!

Today I am super excited to announce that I have decided to make a crazy career change for my life... I have left my full-time corporate job to pursue this business as my full time career! My last day at my corporate job was Friday, and now I am SO excited to get to work on The Glam Finale/Kitchen Glam full time!

So for my post today, I have decided to simply outline my plans for this blog from now on. I am going to try my hardest to get on here everyday and post something cute, creative, and relevant for all of our fans. I will be slightly changing the weekly post layouts and will have a different topic for each day of the week:

Sundays = Party Planning
Mondays = New Products/Colors/Fabrics/Etc from Us!
Tuesdays = Organization
Wednesdays = Kitchen Glam/The Glam Finale Events and Promotions
Thursdays = Recipes
Fridays = Crafting
Saturdays = Gardening/Plants

So now you'll know a little of what to expect week to week!

Today, I am going a little out of the box and sharing a project that I threw together today in celebration of going Glam full-time: a spring inspired Idea Cork Board. I simply covered the board with scrapbook paper, ribbon, and embellishments.
