A Mixed Up Crazy Party...

This could be a very fun & silly party...Ohhh the possibilities! 

A lot of Grammar Schools celebrate something like..."Crazy Mixed Up Days"! The kids wear mismatched clothes,  silly hair or pajama's to school! So why not take it one more step, coordinate  something fun at home & celebrate at the same time!!!

It's a great way to use your leftover holiday & birthday paper plates, napkins, cups , cupcakes sleeves, etc., from every past occasion! 

So, while I was organizing my kitchen...I had a "bright idea"! An after thought really!
Some of the Grandkids had just celebrated Mixed-up Crazy Day at School. I was cleaning out the cupboard where I store all my leftover holiday & birthday plates, napkins, etc.
"Why not organize, divide & bag up a bundle of this stuff and spread the wealth? I had enough products to create 6 or 7 Mixed up Crazy Party bags!

I laid everything out on the dining room table according to each holiday.

Then I started dividing everything into piles. Stacking plates, napkins & more into mixed-up piles !

 This pile had Halloween, Valentines Day, Christmas, New Years, St. Patty's Day & Fourth of July all rolled into one!

Everything was divided & organized.

 I used some gift bags, ribbons & tissue paper I had on hand. And, bagged everything up!

Then I delivered them to the kids and my friends with kids or grandkids!
Everyone who received them...LOVED the idea!
Here is the note I slipped inside...

Make Life Fun & a Little CRAZY with Style...

Ps....Happy 13th Birthday...CocoBean!

It's a Candy Christmas TableScape....

 A Candy Christmas TableScape for my kitchen...

 This is the table's centerpiece facing the Kitchen door ....

 The table centerpiece facing the formal Living Room...

 I love mixing different patterns together. I always do traditional Christmas colors in the kitchen. 

 This year I used candy & faux desserts, Chef's, Santa's & Elves! Oh, and my toy Singer sewing machine from my child hood....I also have toys on & around the tree. 

Stripes, Polka Dots, Paisley & a Retro Western print....deck out the table! "Busy"... but it works!

"A little of this & a little of that!"

 This table really makes your eyes WANT to see everything! So far, I have had some Ohh's & Ahhh's, 

Oh WOW's & a couple of "Awesome's!"

The Grand Kids LOVED my table! Of course, I am sure the candy had NOTHING to do with it!

 Love the traditional colors...

 This was a fun table scape to pull together!

 This is my Candy Bar/ Dessert Table...

 I stayed with the same patterns as on my dining room table, except the retro tablecloth is Hawaiian style. My Dad was stationed in Hawaii while in the Navy. He passed away last Christmas, and this is MY tribute to him. He LOVED his Hawaii & he LOVED everything about Christmas!

"Mele Kalikimaka Dad! Love & Miss You",,,

 We have the Cookie plate & Milk Jar ready for Santa!

 This is the mantel over the Kitchen's fireplace...

 This Santa & the one below are ready to cook up some Christmas by Candlelight!

 The reindeer can smell the goodies baking in the oven!

 The Stockings are waiting to be filled!

And... the Mistletoe is ready & waiting!

Show off your Christmas with Style...

Day of the Dead TableScape for Hallow's Eve...

It all started when I went to the Grocery Store...

I had been thinking of my Halloween Tablescape and what theme to display...

Day of the Dead! Mmmm, that could be awesome!

This is what started the whole theme.... My Life Size Skeleton!

 I gathered up a lot of items I had on hand and got started.....

 This was a lot fun putting this table together.....

I was so surprised I had so many things I could use on hand!

 I love the colors!

 My Fiesta Ware was perfect for the table!

 Had to add the Rose! Heehee....The Day of the Day is a celebration after all! 

 They are having a party....

I have a Bride & Groom with their Bridesmaids in the centerpiece...

....And there are Cake's too!

 The placemats came from Pier One! They were perfect....

 My Bride is sitting at the Breakfast Table....

 The sun was coming into the breakfast nook...so my photo is a little dark....

Ooops....

 Here is My Bride's place setting....These were at the grocery store too!

 My China Hutch..Left side

 Right Side...

 My clearance item from last year found at TJ Maxx...It was missing a key for the marker! So, I used a skeleton key I had!

A steal at $5.00!!!

My Candles on the Mantel....

You can't see them....But, I added tiny colorful lights wrapped in the table scarf to add to the decor! Looks great when they are turned on, subtle but adds a little light dimension to the table.

How are you showing off your Halloween Style this year?
