Birthday Photo Session |Blog Swap with the Dating Divas

7 · · 1 Comment

Super excited!! Blog swappin' with the Dating Divas today!! Here is a wonderful birthday photo session idea from Kristen {today is her birthday!!} Happy Birthday my dear… and you can see my post over at their blog, The Dating Divas.

Hey Whipper Berry readers!!! I am excited to be guest blogging here today, we at The Dating Divas absolutely love Heather, and because it was her birthday last week, and my birthday today I am here to celebrate! Over at thedatingdivas.com we are always coming up with great ideas on how to date your spouse, but today I want to talk birthday parties! I am all about going above and beyond to celebrate birthdays in my family, whether its an Awesome 80's Party for my hubby, or one of my kid's first birthday parties, every birthday boy/girl should be celebrated and feel special on their big day!

Recently we moved across the country during the week of my daughters third birthday. At 3 years old my daughter LOVES birthdays and would be devastated if her's was skipped, and of course I would never let that happen! 🙂 Instead of spending a lot of time (which I didn't have) planning a big party with lots of guests I decided to take my daughters favorite things, her best friend, our friends' doggie, FiFfi (whom she adores), all the ruffles and dress ups I could find, and lots of treats, and do a photoshoot for her to celebrate her birthday.

It was fun, candid, and perfect for my sweet little princess. I love that it felt like a playdate with her best friend and fifi. They both loved to get dressed up and with the treats and blowing out candles made this day really special.

It was something so small, that was and is still talked about. Especially because we printed pictures and displayed them in my daughters room so she can always remember this day and her favorite things. Everytime she looks at these pictures she lights up and loves to talk about her besties, and her birthday party.

4th of July Party Favor |Guest Post

7 · · 10 Comments

One of the reasons I fell in love with blogging was the getting to know some amazing people in the blogging community.  I love how we can share our talents with each other and get to know new friends. Every once in a while I love to showcase someone that I have found via Friday Flair and today's the day.  I ADORE Camille from Makoodle. She ALWAYS has some fantastic goodies to share, today is no different…

**UPDATE**

I emailed Camille from Makoodle and she said she found the cool tubes at her local craft store, but you can order them from several sellers on Etsy.

Hello Whipperberry friends! I am Camille from Makoodle and I'm excited to share a 4th of July idea and free printable with you.

The 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays. It is a day that the entire country throws a party and celebrates America. When I think of the 4th of July, I think of parades, barbeques, great food, family, and friends.

Patriotic Party Favor

I've seen these gumball tubes used as birthday party favors and thought it would be fun to make a patriotic party favor for America's birthday. After all, how can we throw a birthday party without a cute party favor?

When i first thought of "party favor" I thought chocolate. Who doesn't love to leave a party with chocolate? As I thought about it a little more and remembered how hot it gets in July, I decided I should pick something a little more heat friendly.

In addition to a great party favor, these red, white, and blue gumballs would be a great treat to give to your kids to enjoy during a Fourth of July parade.

Fourth of July Printable Tags

There are four different tag designs for you to use for your patriotic party favors. Download the free printable, then print it on card stock paper. Use a use a 2" circle or scallop craft punch to punch the design into a circle tag. Finally, use a paper punch to punch a hole in the top of the tag and string ribbon or bakers twine through the punched hole and tie it to your favor. You can also use these printable tags for cupcake toppers or anything else you want to give some extra Fourth of July flair.

Enjoy! I hope you have a happy Fourth of July. Thank you for letting me visit Whipperberry today! I'd love to see you over at Makoodle where I share some of my favorite recipes, holiday ideas, home decor, free printables, and more.

Thank you so much Camille for sharing your amazing talents with us!! Here are a couple more goodies from Makoodle to wet your whistle…
