Woodland Holidays by In Flight and Truly Chic Inspirations

I have joined a lovely party friend on this styled shoot, who also happens to love owls and forest friends as much as I do and we are excited about working together!  Melissa, of Truly Chic Inspirations inspired me with her woodland topper flags available on her shop Tag Me Chic.  I knew a Holiday shoot with these cute elements would be just lovely. They inspired a warm, cozy theme that not only can be carried out through the holidays but anytime of the year with the rustic and distinctive feel of the woods.

We Three Kings Celebration

I have to proudly share with you my Dessert Table inspired around Three Kings Day.  The vibrant colors, the pleasing flavors and the entire inspiration and idea were created from my own childhood memories and my cultural traditions.
Tanya at Save the Date for Cupcakes featured our party on her amazingly sweet blog and I am so honored to share a link here.  Stop by and check out her blog for sweet inspirations!

Spiced Mexican Chocolate Cupcakes

Gingerbread Cupcakes with Mango Icing

I created the food labels myself with scrapbooking supplies, the Three Kings silhouettes and baked all the sweets too! 
The fortune cookies were inspired by Charynn at Two Sugar Babies who shared a tutorial on her blog.
Recipes for the Cupcakes are shared here
 and here!

Thanks for stopping by!

For a little bit on the tradition:   

Three Kings Day, or El Dia de los Reyes Magos, celebrates the biblical story of the three kings who saw a star appear in the sky on Christmas Day and followed that beacon to a livestock shed in Bethlehem, where they found, and worshiped, the newborn Jesus. The Three Kings were said to have taken 12 days to complete their journey, and they arrived with gifts. In the days before Santa Claus became the seasonal standard, that period was celebrated as the 12 days of Christmas. And in many cultures, traditional gift giving took place on Jan. 6, Epiphany, the day that the baby Jesus received his gifts from the Three Kings.

Merry Christmas from In Flight Blog!

A Kids Holiday Party (The Healthier Version)

 

How can I resist making a Kids Holiday Party this year and giving it a healthier approach?   Well I didn't...Hope the kids had as much fun as I did.......  Seriously, I think they did.  If not only because they got to eat Chocolate Cake at the end to celebrate a friend's birthday (Shhhhh!), but because I think they secretly DO enjoy Fruits and Veggies. 

The above Strawberry Tree is my Kids Version of Pizzazzerie's DIY: Very Berry Holiday Tree  which by the way,  it's a must see!  I made mine more 'kid friendly' by adding Sixlets as ornaments...

 

The wonderful and fun printables used for the party are from Shindig Parties TO GO and I worked wonders with them....on Background, Cream Cheese 'Labels', Sandwich Wrappers and even to make cute small servings of carrots and celery.  The Printable collection includes and I used the Cupcake Wrappers (used for Trail Mix and Banana Chips inside Baking Cups), Cupcake Toppers (used on cheese servings this time) and the Write-On Food Labels.  Amazing! 

For the treats, we had Rice Cakes, Turkey and Cheese Sandwiches, Veggie Crackers, Fruit, Cream Chesse Dip, Veggies, A variety of cheeses and meats and Chocolate Milk!

 

I decorated the top with fabric and holiday ornaments to compliment the party colors.  LOVE how pretty the turquoise and lime green look together....Can't wait to plan many, many parties with that color...hint, hint

 

Table for the kids below,  I was so happy to find tableware at Target that matched perfectly to the theme and colors and after treats we had fun with a "Holiday Gift Shop" for the kids where they got to exchange their given tickets for gifts either for themselves or somebody special.

 I don't want to forget to mention that the cute snow balls on the table were found on Etsy , at the The Shabby Chic Cottage ...and they were ohh so cute!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS to Everyone!  And come back soon to see my Three Kings Day Dessert Table I'm working on...it's going to be bright!
