Simple and Fun centerpieces

I was so excited when I was asked by a family member to create Soccer Birthday Party Centerpieces...soccer was my life growing up FYI. This particular family member is definitely a planner, which is really great, because a lot of times we have time to SAVE MONEY! The buckets below we got 50% off after Easter and I wasn't really sure what we were going to do with them but they were big and cute. Well the wheels started turning and I thought a real soccer ball (Chocolate Chip ball only) would look great but it still needed something more...so that is where the Leila look-a-like came into play. My *PUNKY Plug* for this centerpiece would be, hit up Easter and Holiday sales...you never know what kind of goodies you might find for future events...be creative and have fun!

I was also asked to create a centerpiece for my Nephews graduation party. I asked his Mom his school colors and really built the idea around this. There are so many things you could do for a graduation party so again I say...be creative and think outside of the box. I wanted to make this one more personal as well so I took the letter of his first name and found paper mache letters that stood alone. Spray painted them one of his school colors and then just hand drew some Caps that were also his school colors. Jolee's stickers had these great tassles, and, well....see below. I really just loved these and they were super simple and cheap as well.
