Well aside from trying to catch my breath and slow days down, I have been working hard for this upcoming show. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Do you ear mark your magazines, rip out the pages and then create a lofty stack of miscellaneous ideas? Well I am victim to the ginormous stack and decided it was time to go through and "Pin" some of the great ideas. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is one that I recently Pinned and has me inspired!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was an article from <a href="http://www.marthastewart.com/899375/how-he-does-it">Martha Stewart</a> on a tasting party at New York City's Pasanella and Son Vintners. </div>

So a long story short - we had a leak in the family room, we had to put in new carpet, then the kitchen table didn't look good, then I moved the dining room table into the kitchen and now I have a living room again!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I have been thinking of ways to arrange the seating and I really like this idea:</div>

</div><div style="text-align: center;">So I thought I would post some of the details from the Cowboy Cowgirl Birthday Party. </div><div style="text-align: center;">It was a great theme! All the kiddos, both boys and girls, had a great time.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">The dessert table was super fun to decorate - thanks Mom sooo much for helping!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac198/chelseaproctor/Cowboy-Cowgirl%20Birthday%20Party/desserts2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="375" src="http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac198/chelseaproctor/Cowboy-Cowgirl%20Birthday%20Party/desserts2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">My Mom made Rodeo S'More Pops - I mean really what cowboy party is complete without them?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac198/chelseaproctor/Cowboy-Cowgirl%20Birthday%20Party/details.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="267" src="http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac198/chelseaproctor/Cowboy-Cowgirl%20Birthday%20Party/details.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">They are super simple and they were such a hit! </div><div style="text-align: center;">I really had no idea how popular they would be. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac198/chelseaproctor/Cowboy-Cowgirl%20Birthday%20Party/smorepops.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac198/chelseaproctor/Cowboy-Cowgirl%20Birthday%20Party/smorepops.jpg" width="420" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac198/chelseaproctor/Cowboy-Cowgirl%20Birthday%20Party/smorepops2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac198/chelseaproctor/Cowboy-Cowgirl%20Birthday%20Party/smorepops2.jpg" width="427" /></a></div><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">To make these super easy dessert sticks, all you need is:</div><div style="text-align: center;">Graham Crackers, Melted Chocolate Chips, Large Marshmallows and Cake Pop Sticks. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVweaqn-r4VoSKDovXSw3ZqsxT2NOmRQqV1gNWvTz60JyLUPZrMROAIa7Nj6TLwUPOejSTvTUZZwszDW2gC_cUcrxHv76IEcV-dBMQJMt7cIq-idVYtW1xpC-UeRKKXLPvDNxFHoBRwA6X/s1600/smores-pops-setup.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVweaqn-r4VoSKDovXSw3ZqsxT2NOmRQqV1gNWvTz60JyLUPZrMROAIa7Nj6TLwUPOejSTvTUZZwszDW2gC_cUcrxHv76IEcV-dBMQJMt7cIq-idVYtW1xpC-UeRKKXLPvDNxFHoBRwA6X/s400/smores-pops-setup.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>image from <a href="http://gimmesomeoven.com/smores-pops/">gimme some oven</a></i></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">We had City Slicker Suckers that each kiddos got to take home. When I bought these online I thought they would be much larger, but the size worked.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac198/chelseaproctor/Cowboy-Cowgirl%20Birthday%20Party/suckers.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac198/chelseaproctor/Cowboy-Cowgirl%20Birthday%20Party/suckers.jpg" width="427" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The white tulips were perfect for the color scheme and my Mom had a the great idea to add sticks to the vase for that "rustic look".</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac198/chelseaproctor/Cowboy-Cowgirl%20Birthday%20Party/details3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac198/chelseaproctor/Cowboy-Cowgirl%20Birthday%20Party/details3.jpg" width="427" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac198/chelseaproctor/Cowboy-Cowgirl%20Birthday%20Party/details2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac198/chelseaproctor/Cowboy-Cowgirl%20Birthday%20Party/details2.jpg" width="428" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
For the High Noon Saloon backdrop, I attached a large stick from my backyard.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>(I have even used it <a href="http://roomtoinspire.blogspot.com/2010/02/turquoise-shower.html">here</a> for a shower and <a href="http://roomtoinspire.blogspot.com/2010/02/turquoise-to-super-bowl.html">here</a> for a Superbowl party)</i></div><div style="text-align: center;">My Mom and I wrapped the stick with some burlap ribbon and lasso rope. Then added a few details in with the hat, bandana and printable. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac198/chelseaproctor/Cowboy-Cowgirl%20Birthday%20Party/details4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="267" src="http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac198/chelseaproctor/Cowboy-Cowgirl%20Birthday%20Party/details4.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
And every great party needs a little ale...Lone Ranger Ale of course.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac198/chelseaproctor/Cowboy-Cowgirl%20Birthday%20Party/lonerangerale.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac198/chelseaproctor/Cowboy-Cowgirl%20Birthday%20Party/lonerangerale.jpg" width="333" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">For the glasses I bought a couple packages of mason jars and purchased some red and white paper straws. And we only had one glass break - not bad!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac198/chelseaproctor/Cowboy-Cowgirl%20Birthday%20Party/cups.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac198/chelseaproctor/Cowboy-Cowgirl%20Birthday%20Party/cups.jpg" width="285" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">To add to the "western" theme, we had a few moo-cow balloons hanging around.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac198/chelseaproctor/Cowboy-Cowgirl%20Birthday%20Party/balloons2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac198/chelseaproctor/Cowboy-Cowgirl%20Birthday%20Party/balloons2.jpg" width="427" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
The gift bags were super easy.<br />
I simply used brown lunch bags and attached the label with a little jute. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac198/chelseaproctor/Cowboy-Cowgirl%20Birthday%20Party/giftbagupclose.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="267" src="http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac198/chelseaproctor/Cowboy-Cowgirl%20Birthday%20Party/giftbagupclose.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I customized each thank you card by adding each kid's Wanted Poster shot and name. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Which turned out super cute!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh84XuSlKO0-tLVkCnfthmKo-yadBQXSVrheZujSPugXak6IQg4l51BLn3KB4pqLsZh4irJa_Okj34L-WEqFnmVrPQQv7NA4IF7FKkzjEW7LEHct1S9qjarLt4q17bBRJFELA057mfuGHL6/s1600/dylanty.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="285" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh84XuSlKO0-tLVkCnfthmKo-yadBQXSVrheZujSPugXak6IQg4l51BLn3KB4pqLsZh4irJa_Okj34L-WEqFnmVrPQQv7NA4IF7FKkzjEW7LEHct1S9qjarLt4q17bBRJFELA057mfuGHL6/s400/dylanty.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">All the hoodlums had fun. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac198/chelseaproctor/Cowboy-Cowgirl%20Birthday%20Party/friends.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac198/chelseaproctor/Cowboy-Cowgirl%20Birthday%20Party/friends.jpg" width="266" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

My kiddos had their 6th Birthday party in January, and I am now finally posting the pics!</div><div style="text-align: center;">As many of you know, I have boy/girl twins, and as you can imagine joint parties are getting harder and harder to come up with a theme for both. But they were both on board and excited for Cowboy and Cowgirl...score! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
My inspiration for the invites and the party printables came from Dixie Delights.<br />
You can click <a href="http://dixiedelights.blogspot.com/2011/11/rootin-tootin-cowboy-party.html">here</a> to see her super cute party.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac198/chelseaproctor/Cowboy-Cowgirl%20Birthday%20Party/birthdayinvitescowboy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac198/chelseaproctor/Cowboy-Cowgirl%20Birthday%20Party/birthdayinvitescowboy.jpg" width="285" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">As the hoodlums entered the corral, they were to Cowboy Up with a hat and bandana.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac198/chelseaproctor/Cowboy-Cowgirl%20Birthday%20Party/cowboyup.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="267" src="http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac198/chelseaproctor/Cowboy-Cowgirl%20Birthday%20Party/cowboyup.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">And then off to the photo booth for their Wanted shot.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac198/chelseaproctor/Cowboy-Cowgirl%20Birthday%20Party/diesel.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac198/chelseaproctor/Cowboy-Cowgirl%20Birthday%20Party/diesel.jpg" width="427" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Then we were off to Roping the Steer and the Ring Toss. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac198/chelseaproctor/Cowboy-Cowgirl%20Birthday%20Party/steer.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac198/chelseaproctor/Cowboy-Cowgirl%20Birthday%20Party/steer.jpg" width="427" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">There was some lasso practice for all who were feeling the urge.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac198/chelseaproctor/Cowboy-Cowgirl%20Birthday%20Party/lasso.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac198/chelseaproctor/Cowboy-Cowgirl%20Birthday%20Party/lasso.jpg" width="412" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And a Ring Toss to test the buckaroos aim.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac198/chelseaproctor/Cowboy-Cowgirl%20Birthday%20Party/ringtossrussell.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac198/chelseaproctor/Cowboy-Cowgirl%20Birthday%20Party/ringtossrussell.jpg" width="427" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">As they completed the wild Ring Toss, it was onto the Paint Horse Stampede.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac198/chelseaproctor/Cowboy-Cowgirl%20Birthday%20Party/painthorse.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac198/chelseaproctor/Cowboy-Cowgirl%20Birthday%20Party/painthorse.jpg" width="427" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">They all did such a great job.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac198/chelseaproctor/Cowboy-Cowgirl%20Birthday%20Party/coloring.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="296" src="http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac198/chelseaproctor/Cowboy-Cowgirl%20Birthday%20Party/coloring.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">We then moved into Branding the Kids - ha, gotta love it!</div><div style="text-align: center;">(of course my darling kiddos were tattooed up and down both arms)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac198/chelseaproctor/Cowboy-Cowgirl%20Birthday%20Party/brandthekid.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="267" src="http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac198/chelseaproctor/Cowboy-Cowgirl%20Birthday%20Party/brandthekid.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">We took a break for a little popcorn, </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac198/chelseaproctor/Cowboy-Cowgirl%20Birthday%20Party/popcorn.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="267" src="http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac198/chelseaproctor/Cowboy-Cowgirl%20Birthday%20Party/popcorn.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And then the cowboy/cowgirl charades began!</div><div style="text-align: center;">In hindsight the words were a bit too easy, but they had a great time none the less. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac198/chelseaproctor/Cowboy-Cowgirl%20Birthday%20Party/charades.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="267" src="http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac198/chelseaproctor/Cowboy-Cowgirl%20Birthday%20Party/charades.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And what do cowboys and cowgirls do after all that hollerin'...</div><div style="text-align: center;">eat dessert of course!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac198/chelseaproctor/Cowboy-Cowgirl%20Birthday%20Party/morecupcakes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac198/chelseaproctor/Cowboy-Cowgirl%20Birthday%20Party/morecupcakes.jpg" width="427" /></a></div><br />

After the dessert it was time for the book exchange <i>(in lieu of gifts, we had each child bring a wrapped book - everyone brings a book and everyone leaves with a book).</i><br />
<br />
We had them all sit in a circle holding a book, then we stared the music and asked them to start passing the books. Once the music stopped, the book they had in their hands was theirs!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac198/chelseaproctor/Cowboy-Cowgirl%20Birthday%20Party/books.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="267" src="http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac198/chelseaproctor/Cowboy-Cowgirl%20Birthday%20Party/books.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
Then it was time to say farewell to the fellow hoodlums. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac198/chelseaproctor/Cowboy-Cowgirl%20Birthday%20Party/bags.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="267" src="http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac198/chelseaproctor/Cowboy-Cowgirl%20Birthday%20Party/bags.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
