Latest Projects — under the sea

The kindergarten classes at my daughters school have Habitat day. Each of the 12 kindergarten classes are assigned a different habitat and each student is assigned an animal from their classes habitat. The kids have to research their animal, write a paper, dress up as their animal and then give a presentation to all the other kindergarten classes. My daughter brought home a paper with her assigned animal, Sea Anemone! Yikes! She couldn’t even pronounce Sea Anemone (she sounded just like Nemo in Finding Nemo trying to say he lived in an Amnemonemomne) and she would have to give a...

I love having a photo booth at every party I host! When I have one, I am reminded to get at least one picture of every guest, and it is nice to have a pretty backdrop for pictures. A backdrop that matches the party's theme is not just great for pictures, it's a large piece of party décor too!  Just before my daughter's 7th birthday, we took a family trip to Grand Cayman. She fell in love with snorkeling on that trip and was fascinated with life under the sea. She not only loved the fish but all the coral too! When...

I love making these under the sea gummy candy kabobs! They are perfect party favors, or fun snacks at school! I’ve made candy kabobs at my daughters under the sea party, a luau party and for my her class on habitat day. You can make your own gummies with silicone molds and jello or store bought to fit many party themes

We spent a week in Grand Cayman doing lots of snorkeling before my daughter’s 7th birthday, so when I asked her what theme she would like for her party, she choose Under the Sea. I’ve mentioned before that I’m a pretty good baker, but I’m not very a good at decorating cakes. I still love to make my daughters birthday cakes though, so I’m always looking for ways to make the cake look decent without strong decorating skills. I found these Cute Under the Sea Silicon molds and decided to attempt homemade fondant for the first time.  I used a Marshmallow...
