HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY New Year... Duck Dynasty Style!

I honestly thought that New Year's Eve would be spent 

at the house, in sweatpants, struggling to stay awake til that

dang ball drops at midnight... and with December being such

a crazy busy month, I was OK with the idea of a lazy evening.

 

Until I went to Wal-Mart the Saturday before Christmas...

(don't even get me started on that... I was DONE Christmas

shopping, and then my brother talked me into helping him

finish all his...) But, that's when I decided I NEEDED to have

a New Year's Eve Party. And it HAD to be Duck Dynasty theme!

 

At first, I wasn't really a fan of the show... I watched it with Isaiah

because he liked it, but I just didn't see what was so funny about it,

and it was obvious that it was scripted. But after about four

episodes, I was hooked! Maybe it's because those guys remind

me so much of my husband.... especially Jase!! Anyways, I bought

up a bunch of Duck Dynasty party stuff and invited a few friends

to the house. So here's what I pulled together...

 

Camo tablecloth, plates, napkins, and toasting cups

Camo banner... HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY NEW YEAR!

 

Duck Dynasty cups for everyone to take home 

Hats, glasses, beards, and headbands

 

Duck call party horns

 

Some of the food I served got redneck-ified.....

FROG LEGS (fried chicken)

 

SQUIRREL FEET (weenies)

 

'COON TURDS (baked beans)

 

RABBIT FOOD (veggie tray)

 

"That fruit is for Yuppies" (fruit tray)

 

 We also had deviled eggs, chips & dip, chocolate

chip cookies, and pretzel/rolo treats.

 

And you GOTTA have a little tea at a Duck Dynasty

party... but unlike Uncle Si, it's gotta be SWEET.

 

 Loved spending the evening with these great friends!!

 

 

My husband refuses to wear costumes... but since he went

hunting during the day on New Year's Eve, he just kept

on what he had and it was the perfect "Jase" costume!  

 

 What a fun way to ring in the New Year, "and that's a fact, Jack!"

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Beak's Halloween Party

My sister helped throw a Halloween party over the

weekend for her small group at her church... and I

love everything that they had! It looks "spook-tacular"!

 

Here's the invite she sent out... I love the fonts!!

 

They served TONS of food (no tricks, all treats!) and

labeled everything a gruesome or scary name... so creative!

 

 

The tables were decorated simple but so cute....

the centerpieces were made just by printing a picture

on computer paper, cutting it to size to fit in the glass

vase, and then put a flameless candle inside.

This first picture you can't tell how it glows, but scroll

down and you'll see! It looks amazing!

 

My sister looked so cute... she made a parrot costume out of

feather boas! She wanted to kind of coordinate with her husband,

who doesn't really like to get all costumed up, but went as a pirate

I think it's cute that Rebekah was a parrot and her nickname is BEAK =)

 

And this is one of my favorite costumes that was there....

Mr. and Ms. Pacman! They won the prize for the most creative =)

 

 Great party sis! I wouldn't expect anything less from you =)
It definitely looks like everyone had a great time!! 

Happy Halloween everyone!!

Holiday Printables Gift Set

One of my favorite gifts that I gave this year was a

printable set.... a LOT of my friends got them, but I tried to make

them suit each person, so not everyone got the exact same thing.

 

Most of the printables were for the major holidays  -

Christmas, New Year's, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's

Day, Easter, Fourth of July, Halloween, & Thanksgiving.

I also did one for summertime, and threw in a couple

random prints to use in between holidays.

 

My sister and I helped each other since we both gave these

as gifts - we had to trace and cut around each one to make

it fit in an 8x10 frame. I chose the Christmas printable to

put in each frame, and put all the other printables in sheet

protectors with a bow tied at the top to keep them together.

All the templates I used are shown below, with a link to get to them.
