Thoughtless Thursday: Party Decorations

What would a party be without decorations and let me tell you, my mom went all out!

We started with a color scheme (red, blue, green and orange) and went from there. 

I already had the "Spencer" banner, which is great to be able to reuse props. A little DIY project that involved using a Cricut machine and a wonderful "Happy Blogiversary" banner was born.

Next, you have to be dressed for the occasion. Again, following the color scheme, I found this handsome bow tie at Target and this party hat on Etsy. 

What does every great dog party need, that's right, a fire hydrant. Even though it is made out of paper, it still adds that extra something. 

My favorite is this DIY fabric banner. My mom went to our local fabric store and picked out a yard of five different fabrics, one pattern and solid colors. Can you guess which colors???

Once home we cut the fabric into one inch wide by twelve inches long strips. We did this until we ran out of fabric. Then we tired the fabric onto a long piece of twine in a pattern. We ended up making two banners, each about four feet long.

 

Finally, every good party needs balloons. The best part was using a bottle of peanut butter as the weight of the balloons.

I would love to hear from you, what is your favorite decoration, either from my party or at your own parties?

Tasty Tuesday: PupCakes and Ice Cream Treats

What is a party without yummy food. Here are two easy recipes to do for your next doggie celebration. 

My first tasty treat is called PupCakes. These mouth watering treats are simple and the best part about this treat, we already had all the ingredients in our kitchen. 

After the PupCakes were done cooling we added some peanut butter frosting. Then topped them off with a Zuke's Jerky treat. My mouth is watering them just looking at this picture.

You can't have cake without ice cream. My handy bone and paw print molds came in handy with this recipe. But, a simple dixie cup or ice cube tray will do the trick as well.

My mom should have added 4 ripe bananas, 3 for the recipe and 1 for me to enjoy as I watched her make these treats! What more could a dog ask for then bananas, peanut butter, and yogurt all in one.

And finally, while we were at the Renaissance Festival yesterday we stopped at "Royal Paws" and picked up these tasty treats. Yes, that is a mini pizza. Unfortunately, they only sell at festivals and not online, otherwise we would be placing weekly orders.

And there you have it fokes! Yummy, mouth watering treats your dog would love to have.

Mischief Monday: Renaissance Festival

What better way to kick off my Blogiversary week then to take a trip to the Renaissance Festival. I had no idea what I was getting myself into, but mom reassured me that I would have a blast.

This weekend they had "Pet Fest" and let me tell you, I saw a lot of dogs great and small. 

Sunday was the perfect day to go. The sun was shinning, there wasn't a cloud in the sky and with a light breeze what more could a dog or a human ask for.  

There were so many great photo opps throughout the festival, but here are my two favorite ones. The first one I would like to call "My Knight in Shinning Armor."

If I could add a caption it would say, "What are we looking at?" 

My next favorite photo opp was with a pirate. 

What does a pirate dog say? Baaarghk! 

Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

I had so much fun at my first Renaissance Festival I can't wait until next year. I saw amazing costumes, heard funny and at time naughty comedians, and spent most of the day drooling over turkey legs. But, my favorite part was ridding the bus back to our car. It took every ounce of me not to stick my head out the window and yell, "Weee Wee Wee Weee!"

On our way home, my dad busted me and took this embarrassing photo of me sleeping in the backseat while I was still standing up. I guess that means I had fun.
