We just got these in - they are so new I am posting photos of the originals. Which is your favorite? We will have them posted on line this week on our site Hampton Paper Designs.

Thomas' Birthday Party Planning: Look What I Found!

I found this Sunbrella fabric at Joanne's on Sunday. I plan to use it for the table cloths. It coordinates nicely with my color theme- orange and green. Fortunaltey it was on sale at 50% off so I paid $9.99 per yard as I needed 8.5 yards to cover all 3 tables. Starburts are a must for the candy table as most kids love them. I didtn realize they discontinued green as a color many years ago and replaced w. red. Ooopps!

The candy table is coming together. I did a prelim set up to get an idea of what I will need.

Hershey Kisses are always a favorite. Adding the stickers is a great project for the kids to help with.

Love the color theme here.

We plan to serve popcorn and these popecorn holders from Michael's will work well. I added a sold circle out of scrapbook paper so the image popped a bit more ( no pun intended)

This is going to look great!

I am waiting for the books to arrive from B&N. I found cooridnating gros grain ribbon and will wrap in a clear bag with a bow.

These bags will be good for the kids to put their candy in for the movie.

Tick Tock -I am down to less than 2 weeks to pull this party together. Fortunately I made some great progress over the weekend. I need to get the cake, lollipops, cookies and of course order the food. More details to follow in the next few days.

The Other Royal Wedding...

The royal wedding lived up to every expectation I had and I am anxiously waiting to see the impact their choices will have in the wedding world! Everything was picture prefect. My favorite part was the 2nd kiss - Kate's reaction after was priceless and I think it exemplifies the first of many new trends that the couple will start.

Over the weekend we received so many orders with our royal carriage image for products for "The Other Royal Wedding". Everything from Invitations for Bridal Showers, Kiss Stickers, Hershey Bars, and Thank You Notes. I love it! Really, our carriage did look just like the one they rode in! What was your favorite part?

Hampton Paper Royal Carriage

Peace in Our Time

This peace sign is being "reserved" for a very special project - can you guess which one?

Love the burst of color on these chili peppers- just in time for cinco de mayo and be great on stickers "From The Garden Of..."

Classic Fleur Di Li - we added a red one as the others have been so popular. I want to use this for my holiday wrapping paper next year.

Custom image done in honor of Lily's 8th birthday and her skating party! This would be great on holiday wrapping paper too!

Candy Table, So Sweet!

New Hampton Paper Candy Bar Wrappers

Square Dot Stickers on Candy Bags

Who wouldn't love a bag full of Candy?

Love these new photos submitted by a client of a recent candy table they set up at their child's school. The gumball image was the perfect choice!

RIP

Last Friday morning I entered my home office and panic set in as I heard a loud noise coming from the computer. The fan had gone into overdrive- never a good sound. I immediately yelled to tech support aka, my husband Greg (yes, he is also the exec chef in the house too) and the news wasn't good. We were too late. DOA. So, its now been 4 days and countless ours and minutes that I have not had a computer to work on. I can really now admit I am addicted to my computer. I had the DTs on Saturday and spent a lot of time wandering aimlessly around my house over the weekend. I thought, oh, I'll do this only to realize it required a computer. So for now, I am on borrowed time and a borrowed laptop. Hoping my new one arrives tomorrow, I don't know how much longer I will last without it! My fingers are crossed that I can retrieve all my files. New posts coming once I am up and running on Thomas' birthday party plans ( you wont believe what we have planned!), updates on the house, new images, photos from the Hampton Paper Shoot, and great ideas for Mother's Day.

Ironic that I would own a cookbook since I cant cook but this is on one of my Barefoot Contessa cookbooks as she is my favorite. I have my personal chef, aka my husband, Greg, cook up these wonderful recipes. Fortunately, he loves to cook and is a huge fan of Ina's too!

We wanted to capture some great back to school ideas here. Jackson loves to play his guitar (mostly to Billy Joel songs) so this is the image he chose for his journal.

My friend Kim's daughter loves this pink crown so we did a back to school for the girls who love pink!

Luggage tags are great for backpacks and lunchboxes. My favorite ones are from LL Bean as they hold up all year long. This skateboard image shouldn't be overlooked - the colors are so bright!

We introduced these Dear Santa cards 2 years ago and they have been a best seller. I hear that mom's like to keep them so they can remember what their little ones had on the top of their wish list each year.

This is the image that Lucy painted of my front door for my "New Address" cards. We had "Mika Established 2010" written on it and added a mat and frame. I cant wait to hang this in my house. It make a great house warming gift.
