My friend is having a pink Tu Tu Party tomo and wanted to make a pink punch. This is an old school recipe that I found ages ago in Gracious Goodness …Charleston Bishop England High School cookbook. This is a fantab cookbook! You can easily double this recipe, be aware this makes a lot and even those who don’t love punch, love this punch!

1 large can frozen pink lemonade
1 large can pineapple juice
1 cup tea, put one family size or 2 sm bags is 1 cup boiling water; steep for 10 mins and remove bags
1 qt of gingerale
1 or 2 large packages of frozen strawberries
Pour all ingredients in a punch bowl.
It is yummy! ENJOY!!!

This is the most Fantab idea from Divine Party Concepts, I have seen in Ages!!
In college we had a Jenga game, which I still have and played a few months ago!! That was a “drinking” version! Why or How I have not thought of using it for a guest book! It is genius! In place of the boring book that no one picks up again, ask all your guest to write a message! You could do this for a wedding, shower, even a baby shower with a game theme could have words of wisdom for mom and dad or what about the teenage child!! LOVE, love, love….
Now, who is getting married? Gotta get someone to do this!!

With Cars 2 coming out June 24th!!!! I am thinking that this would be a great theme for Jack’s 4th birthday this August. I found Buckets of Grace AMAZING CARS Party!! See her FULL post HERE with all the great details. I had to highlight a few of the fantab details that I am most in love with!
THE CANDY TABLE!!!
Candy Labels – Posh Pixels
Banner – Gwynn Wasson Designs
Checkered Flag Banner and Table Skirt – Race Party Decorations
Mrs. Mommy Mogul did this fantab table scape. I love the centerpiece with the monogram.
Cars 2 racing into theaters June 24th! I can’t wait to take Jack and his buddies!!

A good friend is planning a Mad Science theme party for her son and I wanted to gather some really fun inspiration ideas!! 
Pure Joy Events Mad Science Party had my favorite invitation and test tube party favors!!
Posh Party Cakes had some really, really wonderful “projects” to do for the party! I love it! I am a huge fan of activites for the kids to do and she just gave me the best ideas! I hope I can remember this for when Jack gets older!! Melissa got geyser tubes, instant snow mix, and slime mix from Steve Spangler Science. I also love how she did the slime and the smoke coming down the cake. FUN!!
Just found this cake that Judy over at Party Blog posted. I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS CAKE!!!
