{Real Parties} Ladybugs & Polka Dots

I recently received this sweet Ladybugs and Polka Dots birthday party sent to me by Ashley of Adventures in Mommywood. Ashley put A LOT of time into making her daughter's first birthday a special one. What a lucky little girl!











Fabulous job, Ashley! All of your hard work shows. And what a beautiful family you have! Thank you for sharing your daughter's party with Sheek Shindigs.

{DIY} Valentine's Gumball Necklaces

Here is an ADORABLE Valentine's gumball craft from One Charming Party. Not only would these be great to hand out at a Valentine's Day party, but they would be cute as party favors for a little girl's birthday as well.



Here are the instructions provided by One Charming Party:

1. Using a metal skewer, pierce one side of the gumball. Hold the top of the gumball steady as you guide the skewer (see photo). This will prevent the skewer from slipping off the slick surface of the gumball.

2. Flip the gumball over and pierce another hole directly opposite to the first hole. If you try to poke a hole straight through both sides at once, the gumball will crack.

3. The hardest part is stringing the ribbon. Use a large needle to thread the ribbon through the gumballs. Thinner ribbon is easier to string. Tie a knot between each gumball as you string it.

Tip: Look for bags of single colored gumballs at your local party supply store.

I am so happy to be able to share some great Valentine's Day Party Printables that are not only cute, but are part of a nation-wide fund-raising party for an extremely worthy cause as well. Miss Bird of Bird's Party Blog (L-O-V-E her!) created this adorable "Bee My Valentine" party printable collection for Operation Give Thanks.


Operation Give Thanks is a nation-wide fund-raising party to help the amazing organization, Operation Shower, continue on its mission to throw amazing baby showers for military families to ease the burden of deployment. I had the privilege of volunteering with Operation Shower back in October and was able to see first-hand how wonderful this organization is and how important its mission is to so many deserving families. By making an online donation of $5 or greater to Operation Shower, you can help spread some LOVE this Valentine's Day to many deserving military families AND download some Fabulous printables as well! Did I mention that the "Bee Mine" Valentine's Party Printable collection includes: Fill-in party invites, 2" cupcake toppers (or round favor tags), party icons and cut-outs (bees and beehive) that you can use as cake toppers too, napkin rings or jar and bottle wrappers, place-cards or dessert buffet labels (Bee My Cupcake and Pink Lemonade), candy jar fancy labels and a 5" x 7" super cute party sign - Instructions and list of materials are included.

What a great way to celebrate who he is!).

{Etsy Shop} Calling all Super Heros!

POW! ZAP! BAM! Defeating evil is hard work for a Super Hero!
A few months back I helped a friend with a few details for her son's Super Hero themed birthday party. She did a fabulous job with all of the details and the paper products that I created were a great addition. I have been wanting to add a Super Hero party line to my Etsy shop for quite some time and finally got around to it. Here are just a few of the products available.





These products can be customized to fit your celebration, including the colors and wording. Coordinating beverage wraps, cupcake wrappers, and invitations can be made to order as well. My favorite thing about this line is that it is extremely versatile and will fit well with any super hero celebration. Visit the Sheek Shindigs Etsy Shop to view these products as well as others that I offer. Don't see what you are looking for? Contact me for a custom order!
