Every BUNNY needs a little TRAIL MIX for the trip down the trail…adorable favor bags and a fun Bunny Trail Mix recipe, too!

I had these carrot-shaped bags made using burlap and a cute polka dot print fabric.  Topped with striped green material to resemble grass and ribbon to pull to close, these bags make an adorable favor bag for an Easter party!  See a tutorial on making these bags at the end of the post.

Lauren McKinsey has designed this whimsical bunny for her Easter collection- when I saw them, I knew they would be perfect for the carrot-shaped treat bags!  Lauren McKinsey was kind enough to whip up some tags especially for this project!  I love how they turned out!

Lauren McKinsey didn’t leave out the boys!  Boyish and equally-adorable bunnies in blue for the fellas!

These favor bags were designed to hold Bunny Trail Mix~perfect for a party or an Easter-themed snack! Here is the easy recipe…

Annie’s Homegrown (Organic) Cheddar Bunnies- found at Publix, Target, Earth Fare

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.  Scoop into individual cellophane bags and secure.  Serve in carrot shaped bags with a creative gift tag and enjoy!

I was so excited to see my favor bag idea come to life!  Loaded with burlap, fabrics, and ribbon- I stopped by Andrew Downs and Co. and they were able to make the idea a reality.  They also offer a tutorial on how to make your own here.

LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE PARTY

What began as a simple gesture to introduce my daughter to a wonderful book series has become a special evening ritual for us- reading Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House books!  I must admit, I didn’t realize quite how interesting these books would be to her, but she cannot wait to read all nine in the series.  It was only fitting that her birthday party focus around Little House on the Prairie!  Together, we had a ball planning all of the details of her party that related to the books in some way.  At Camille’s request, we focused on some of her favorite parts of the stories… prairie flowers, covered wagons, tee pees, the colors in the drawings of the books,  and “pretty”…because “Ma” liked things to be pretty!

LILLY PULITZER CAKE DECORATING FLAMINGO BIRTHDAY PARTY IDEAS

There is nothing like the bright colors and happy prints of Lilly Pulitzer to make every day feel like a party!  For my daughter’s 12th birthday party, she wanted to decorate cakes~ Lilly-style!  So, in order to decide how to mesh the two, I kept thinking “if Lilly had a cake shop instead of a juice stand”… I have to admit, this was one fun party to plan!  It is a blast to see where ideas go in the hands of a TWEEN!  Enjoy and remember, “…being happy never goes out of style!”.
