The party went off without a hitch! It was fun and everything was perfect from Martha Stewart crafts. Everyone enjoyed trying the new products, and the great projects they got to take home. Nothing is left but an array of glitter clinging to our forehead and clothes. Now what about this evalutation the hostess is suppose to fill out. Anyone know where to find it?

We had such a great time last night working on this project. The children had alot of fun making the ornaments that I picked up. I can not wait until the holidays come to display their creations. We also made homemade cookies to put in the boxes we made.

I'm planning on a great salad with all the fixings. Most of my guests are very diet-conscious so I wanted to provide something they were comfortable with. I've also got a veggie plate, fruit plate and a cake for those who want something sweet. I'm planning on having cookies ready for those who want to take something home in their gift box.

all my guests have rsvp'd and I am ready for a fun and creative house party featuring Martha Stewart crafts.

I'm getting excited! I'm hosting a late afternoon party, so we will be enjoying wine, frozen sangria (new recipe to experiment on my guests), home made black bean and corn salsa with chips, hot crab dip (if the hubby gets the stove fixed - long story), and stuffed dates. I am famous for my brownies, so I'll make a few batches to enjoy and send home with my guests. This afternoon I'll be hunting for nice looking pine cones. I went to Michaels and bought a few ornaments and a set of Martha Stewart Crafts white glitter (3 types with a bottle of glue - used a 50% coupon). The picture in the box is of glittered pine cones that are beautiful. I'll make a few to send home with my friends and will have some for them to try also. Several friends have grade school daughters, so that would be a great holiday craft for them to do with their child. Best wishes for all the parties out there - enjoy!!!!

I will also have some mini quiches and empanadas hot and fresh from the oven. all served with some nice wine. for my guests I am going to make a big pan of fudge and they can all take some home in the boxes we craft. we are going to make the cards and freshen up some holiday ornaments. sooooo fun.

I am having my party tomorrow night so I wanted to make the crafts to see the level of difficulty! So far the candy box was very simple. On to the card (this seems much harder because of the edge punches)!

mtardugno said...

I had my party yesterday morning (breakfast and crafts!) and it was great. We had fun using the supplies and trying to get our punches just right on the paper. My guests had a good time.

Just putting the final list together for the food; planning on making an Autumn Sangaria and lots of harvest cookies. Adding the Martha snacks too, those cookies look great!

amyjoy said...

I think it says on the coupon that you cannot combine it with a sale. My michaels won't let me use more than one coupon at a time but I got a circle cutter for $7 and more glitter for 2.50.. I also glittered some tiny pumpkins as decorations for the party. pics. soon!!

Just wanted to let the Houston, TX area host know that Michaels Stores have their Martha Stewart Crafts on sale for 30% OFF!! With our Houseparty Coupons of 50% off and so many different crafts to choose from I feel like a kid in a candy store!! I am so excited about this party, we are going to be crafting fools.
