You know me and FREE things! I love to get FREE things and I LOVE to give them even more!!  That’s why I am offering Free St. Patrick’s Day Printables for you to enjoy. Let’s just say that today is your Lucky Day (pun intended, hahaha)! I’ve noticed a lack of cute St. Patrick’s Day printables out there! Almost everything is your typical green and white. I really wanted to incorporate a rainbow print and a lot of fun elements.

So, I must confess. . . I’m not really a football fan. Okay, so that’s not really true, but I don’t watch a lot of professional football. I do love college football though, especially my Oregon Ducks (I LOVE MY DUCKS)! (Check out my free Oregon Ducks Printables too.)

Sheri is an amazing friend of mine and a huge Patriots fan. Her husband Trevor, and son Brett are huge Miami Dolphin Fans, apparently they are the Patriots biggest rivals. Brett just can’t bring himself to root for the Patriots so he is cheering on the Giants. We wanted to make sure that both teams were equally represented to please both parties.

(Just a fun side note, Sheri is also nice enough to help me keep up with my Etsy conversations. Some days I have 20 or more conversations to answer.Thanks for the help Sheri!! ) Sheri and Trevor are throwing a Superbowl party this upcoming weekend and wanted to include some fun party printables. So Sheri came to me for design help! Yay! These printables were super fun to design and I thought it would be nice to share them with you too!

When I was at shopping at Costco today, I noticed an awesome pack of football plates and napkins that would match these items perfectly too! Though you may not have any huge plans for Super Bowl Sunday aside from eating fatty appetizers, drinking way too much beer, laughing at ridiculous commercials, and hoping for another wardrobe malfunction during the half time show, these party printables will liven up any Super Bowl Party!

If you do use these printables at your party, I’d love to see them so please email me some photos or share them on facebook! Happy Super Bowl XLVI (that’s number 46 if you forgot your roman numerals) and in case you haven’t begun the countdown, there is only 2 days and 17 plus hours until kickoff!!!

Drink/Cup Label stop searching for your drink, write your name on it and claim it Place Cards/Food Labels Tent Style Water Bottle/ Drink Label- Patriots Water Bottle/Drink Label- Giants Water Bottle/Drink Label-Official NFL Drink Water Bottle/Drink Label- Football in grass

I also thought the water bottle/drink labels would make awesome napkin wraps so you could wrap up silverware and a napkin for each guest. Just a thought. In case you were wondering, the font I used was Good Times, which seems appropriate!

I am a huge follower of Groopdealz. I buy WAY too much stuff from their site. I decided to contact them and see if they’d be interested in selling one of my collections. They politely agreed so I threw together just a little Valentine’s Day printable collection. Three days and a big mess later, I finally had my collection done. Since I threw this together so last minute (I’m really not a planner), I had to use some local vendors. In addition, as you may know, I am also pregnant and didn’t feel like making everything so I ended up buying a few items that I would have normally made. Normally I try and do everything, but this pregnancy I am listening to my body a lot more and cutting myself some slack- even if that means buying cookies, instead of making them!

I’m totally in love with the ombre look and chevron stripes and wanted to create a collection that was both sweet and stylish all at the same time. I’m really into pink and teal right now (I’m using the same colors for my gender reveal party next month) and thought those would be the perfect Valentine’s Day colors to focus on! Once I have an idea, the pieces usually start to fall into place.

I wanted a very sweet, yet simple display-nothing too over the top. I put up my backdrop stand which I created for Skyler’s Lego Party last year. If you’d like to make your own, here are the instructions. Then I grabbed my drapes from upstairs and hung them to create a soft flowing backdrop. I went to my local hardware store, which shall remain nameless, since I “lifted” 50 or so paint swatches and don’t want to incriminate myself any further. I was inspired by a DIY Paint Swatch Ombre Chandelier that I had seen on pinterest. My plan was to create heart shaped ombre garland which I attached on top of the drapes and was ready to go.

For the table itself, I always start with my fabulous tablevogue table cloth. Then I used my white dish ware and a white picture frame from Goodwill that my husband painted for me. It was the perfect centerpiece. The menu consisted of candy, cupcake cakes, powdered donuts, cookies, and milk- everything sweet just the way I like it.

I had a ton of fun creating candy necklace charms. I thought this would make a fun Valentine’s Day gift. I took my Fiskers Scalloped Heart Shaped Punch and punched out little tags. Then I used my eyelet punch and put an eyelet into the heart and used wire to attach the charm to the candy necklace. Super simple, yet adorable.
