Tasty Tuesday: Green Punch

Happy voting day! Today's Tasty Tuesday is going to be short and sweet so you can get back to watching the polls:) I thought I would share the recipe for the green punch that I made for my nephew's Batman party. It was really good and would be perfect for a Christmas party or St. Patrick's Day get together.

Here is what you'll need:
1 large can of pineapple juice
2 packets lemon-lime kool aid
1 liter ginger ale
1 1/2 cups sugar (recipe called for 2 cups, but we used 1 1/2 and it was plenty sweet)
1 quart water

We all enjoyed the "Joker Juice!"

Made it Monday: Bat-tastic Par-tay!

So, I've been MIA for a while from the blog! Sorry! I have been busy stocking up my supply of Remnants items as I had a craft show last weekend and another one coming up in December. Here is a quick peek at my table from the craft show this weekend. I was also selling scarves and necklaces my mom makes.

 

 

 

 

 

But now, back to Made it Monday! In this post I talked about the Batman themed 1st birthday party my sister and I were throwing for my nephew. Well, the party happened and it was BAT-TASTIC! We had such a fun time and everything turned out so cute! Warning: tons of pictures today!!!

My sister made the cake while I decorated. I cut out the symbol with my cricut for her to trace.

Balloon decor- I wanted to have balloons on the buffet with the food, but small town=no helium.

The Birthday Boy himself! He's sporting his Batman Birthday Boy onesie with cape.

Happy Birthday!

I found superhero tatoos and stickers on clearance for a quarter so I picked them up for the big kids at the party. It was a tough choice for cousin Cambria.

 

Present time!

 

Cousin Kynslee thought the food was delish, as you can tell by her face.



 

I used my cricut and Sure Cuts A Lot program to cut out all the Batman symbols for the banner, decorations, and onesie. I was very fortunate that the bridal showers I hosted this summer/fall had color schemes that when put together made up the Batman colors!! I had saved all the ruffled crepe paper from the showers and was able to reuse it as well as the blue and white poms.

Hope you made it through all the pics today! I'll share the cape and cake tutorials later on.

Have a great week!

Made it Monday: Batman!

In just a couple of weeks my sweet little nephew, Trig, will be turning ONE! Time goes so fast! Usually our family isn't much into throwing big birthday parties, but I love throwing parties, so here we are. My nieces wanted to have a Batman party for him, and after talking with my sister, we decided we could make this really cute. The party will be this weekend, so I'm busy making decorations for it. The first thing I decided to make was this cute sign:

 

 

The process to make this was quite simple:

 

First, I found this scrap piece of wood from a previous project. It was a little smaller than I wanted, but by using it, I didn't have to go buy more.

 

 

 

Then I painted it yellow with some craft paint. Technically, I probably should have primed it, but I was being lazy.

 

Next, I cut out the image with my cricut. I found the image and font online. I transfered it to the piece of wood.

 

 

 

Finally, I spray painted the whole thing black. Once it dried, I took off the vinyl.







 

 

I love how it turned out and it will be a great piece for the party. Best part about it is that it was free because I had all the supplies on hand!
