Halloween Treat Bags

October 20, 2016April 24, 2017 | A Peace of Creativity

My daughter and I worked on putting together treat bags for the trick-or-treaters. If you know me, then you know I love giving out goodie bags. Here’s what’s inside this year.

I absolutely adore these drawstring bags from Oriental Trading. Halloween for me is more cute than scary. That probably says more about my life than I would care to admit. 🙂

Also from Oriental Trading, I found Peanuts paper airplanes that come in a compact little package and are super easy to put together. Even the big kids like paper airplanes, and by big I mean my adult male friends. (These were so popular, I think they sold out. I couldn’t find the link for this one but there are a lot more Halloween Peanuts items for sale!)

Instead of glow in the dark light sticks, I chose glow in the dark Halloween stickers.

And we didn’t forget the chocolate! I know some people choose to do the opposite but we always pick the candy we like to eat since we know there will be leftovers.

If you love to hand out candy to the trick-or-treaters, you should try putting bags together. The kids go bonkers over them and all it takes is a trip to the dollar store or even just putting your handful of candy in a goodie bag!

VDay Goodies

February 11, 2016April 16, 2017 | A Peace of Creativity

Here’s what is going in the VDay goodie bags this year! I prefer non-candy goodie options, especially to this preschool age group. Items are all from the dollar bin and put together with help from my almost 3 year old. She had a blast picking out what should go in each bag.

Processed with VSCOcam with c3 preset Mini heart slinkies, erasers, and boxes of stickers!

I hope you all have a wonderful Valentine’s Day weekend!

Guest Peace: Lola’s Market

November 2, 2015February 25, 2025 | A Peace of Creativity

Linda is a Southern California native and a passionate party planner in her spare time. Every event she holds is perfected down the the smallest detail. She has a beautiful eye for color and shabby-chic, rustic decor. She is a loving wife, mother of 6 and has 7 grandchildren with one on the way! That’s a lot of parties!

Our little Lola loves our small garden in the backyard and that inspired me to create this party for her. She loves the flowers, orange tree, tomatoes and herbs. She likes to pick the fresh basil, mint, and grape tomatoes and pretend she’s making soup!

The bunting was made by my husband, Reid using a 1/2 yard of burlap, fabric paint, alphabet stencils, a stencil brush and some twine.

My daughter Sarah assembled these huge, gorgeous, paper flowers from a Martha Stewart flower kit.
Outside, we taped vegetable seed packs to the patio beams for decoration.

For centerpieces, we used kale, tomato & pansy plants and wrapped the pots in fabric.

To add to the fresh farm theme, we served our veggies in berry baskets and the raisins, candy corn and chips in bushel baskets.

The food table was decorated with fresh flowers, crates and chalkboard signs to add to the rustic feel and the lucky kiddos went home with a favor bag full of yummy snacks.

To finish it all off, we ordered a green cake and added fresh flowers the day-of. Happy Birthday Lola!

Halloween Treat Bags

October 12, 2015April 12, 2017 | A Peace of Creativity

I have never been a big fan of Halloween. I don’t care to dress up and I really do detest haunted houses. Since having a home and a child though, it has become one of my favorites, mostly because of trick or treating!

We don’t get many trick or treaters coming to the house. I wish we had more, but on a positive note, it allows me to go all out on the treat bags without breaking the bank. Here is what the lucky neighborhood kids are getting this year with most of these items coming from the dollar bin!
