Masquerade Dinner Party Tutorial Series

Hello everybody! Megan here! So, I know everyone has been super excited to hear about our Masquerade dinner party. The plan was to just have a Halloween party, but with everyone's schedule being so hectic in October (mostly mine) having a Halloween party just wasn't happening. So, the idea for a dinner party was thrown around and the masquerade idea came up. Everyone seemed pretty happy with that idea, but now we had to theme it. Emily threw out the murder mystery idea, which could have worked if we had more party guests on the list and a lot more extra time on our hands to plan it. Then we came up with idea for a Edgar Allan Poe theme, which everyone (me included) went crazy for. So Edgar Allan Poe Masquerade Dinner Party it was! When decided to have the dinner party we also decided to create a tutorial series for it for our readers. So, throughout the month we're going share with you everything we created for this the dinner party. YAY!

Melissa made the awesome possum napkin rings. You'll have to check out the tutorial later this month to see how she did it. The chargers have stanzas from Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven. And I just bet your wondering how I managed to do that. I'll tell you...the the tutorial.

Mixer Monday {4}

Wow, I can't believe I would ever be excited to see Monday. This weekend was CRAZY busy. You guys might have noticed that we didn't have any favorite finds last week. That's due to the masquerade party that we threw on Friday. We were just way to busy to write up the post. But this week we're going back to our regularly scheduled program. Alright, let's link up some projects!

Saturday Social Blog Hop 3

Hi everyone! Megan here. You might have noticed that yesterday we didn't post any favorite finds. We were just entirely too busy with the Masquerade dinner party that we simply didn't have time write up a post or even log on to the website! I actually worked myself sick yesterday. My ankle and knee are killing me from the high heels I wore, my eyes are still burning from my contacts, and I have a sore throat, runny nose, and now I'm starting to sneeze. Oh, well it was totally worth it and everyone seemed to have a good time. We'll be posting pictures of that next week. But right now I just want you guys to enjoy the blog hop!

Thirsty Thursday - Lemon Honey Green Tea

I am going to be completely honest with y'all. This Thursday snuck up on me. I knew it was going to be my turn for a thirsty Thursday recipe, so this weekend I picked up green tea figuring I would do something with it. But as of yesterday night I had no idea. So I went back to the store grabbed a bunch of things and came back home to start trying things out. 

I knew I wanted a citrus-y green tea, but the only recipes I could find were a lipton copy cat recipe and I didn't want to copy cat, I just wanted something I could see myself drinking. Green tea is another one of those things I want to like it so bad, but I just can't force myself to drink a glass of it. So after many attempts I came up with Lemon Honey Green Tea.

Halloween Cheesecake

Happy Tuesday everybody! Melissa here with another fun tutorial. Normally I do a craft project for my posts. This week I wanted to switch it up and do something sweet. I have a mean sweet tooth that always gets what it wants. After debating over a few different options, I decided to do a Halloween themed cheesecake. OMG cheesecake!!! Love, love, love it!! Plus all hallows eve is right around the corner. Time to get those creative juices flowing so you can show off for your family and friends. 

Mixer Monday (3)
