Sweet Sanity Designs

Every girl needs a purse she loves and I don't see why a fabulous diaper bag should be any different.  That thought inspired my latest design idea for a baby shower sticker - the Diaper Bag!    And a trendy one full of goodies to boot.  Was able to see it in action for a shower for Soon-To-Be-Mommy Janet, so thanks to Hostess Lizzy for letting me drop in! 

Details in pink and purple (yes, it's a girl!) and a mix of chevron and stripe patterns
kept it fun and current from the favors to the water bottles.

Was particularly in love with the idea below. Little girlie socks stuffed with tissue to fill them and hung from the chandelier over the lunch buffet.  They looked so cute you just wanted to squeeze them!

Diaper bag stickers adorned the popcorn mix favors (that included pink and purple M&Ms of course) with a little note .... GOODIES TO TOTE HOME!      {Find the recipe for the mix at the end if you are interested.}

Pink striped straws topped off the shower with purple cups full of pink lemonade! 

Needless to say this idea for a baby shower could go on and on...
1) Perhaps a diaper bag shaped-cake (oh yes, google it, they are out there!) 
2) Maybe a group gift for the Mommy-To-Be ~  a new diaper bag filled with all the necessities to start her off?
3) A game or raffle filling up a diaper bag with 'Wishes for Baby" or 'Wisdom for Mom'?

Hope this sets gets you brainstorming and gives you a new ideas for a twist on the typical Baby Shower themes!

Popcorn Mix Recipe {from the Hostess}:
I took two microwave bags of popcorn and put them in a large bowl, poured over some melted white chocolate (I used a glass bowl over a boiling pot to get the white chocolate chips melted) then poured it over the popcorn, mixed and added colored M&Ms at the end. It was actually easy, I thought I'd have to mix for much longer, but everything incorporated very well!

Each day on my walk home I pass by Oak Mill Bakery in Chicago.  It's hard not to gaze inside the front window.  What a pick me up!  This cake just stopped me in my tracks the other day.  Just love the misty lavendar-blue color with the assorted pink and purpley peonies on top. So chic!   Happy Monday!

The peacock motiff always adds a touch of class and if your looking for purples and teals for your event it ties right in!  These designs are part of the Peacock Theme listing on Etsy.  Jenna is using them for her birthday party, and for their weddings Kristen & Mike and Erin & Wayne are also enjoying a peacock theme!

I LOVE purple! Even more I love how many of our recent orders are letting this plum hue rule. Lately I've been seeing purple featured in magazines and around town and I think Sweet Sanity customers have picked up on it as well!

I'm loving the monochromatic combo of sweet lavender & classy eggplant in the wedding stickies from Kevin & Christine, Shannon & Quinton and Allison & Simon! But if you find that purple on purple gives you plum overload, stay tuned to see a totally different take on this classic color!

Tracy and Trevor got the works for their upcoming New Year's Day wedding!  Using the Vintage Design and the Butterfly Thoughts Design we were able to weave her favorite fonts and eggplant and gold colors through all the details. We whipped up 5x7 frame inserts for her Drink Menus at the bar and the Candy Menus at the candy buffet.  On the tables were 4x6 cards letting the guests know about the Photo Booth!  Both her 2" square and 1.7" round stickies had the same design. Thanks Tracy!!!

Just wanted to let you know that we received our goodies and everything exceeded my expectations! I will make sure to post all over how happy I have been with the entire process! You are a joy to work with.

Thank you for my lovely recent orders for favor stickies!   Regina & Timmy chose the Filigree Design, Adrienne & Ryan a bordered square in eggplant and ivory, Krisi and Nathan a fun Aspen Ski Design for their engagement party favors, and Chante and Kenny chose the Peacock Design!  Thanks everyone!

Am seeing so many pretty purple shades lately with recent orders!  Goes so beautifully with both black and whites...Congrats to Alli, Erin, Kristen and thanks for your stickie purchases..and to Anglele for her monogram for her programs.  Thanks all!
