Just when you were getting used to Recipe Tuesday, I go and throw another new feature at you: Party Monday. Every Monday I’ll collect party ideas from party geniuses around the web and gather them in an inspiration board. By theme. Treats and food will of course be included, but I might even–gasp–stray from edibles just a bit. Feel free to suggest a theme, and as always, send me your own submissions and maybe I’ll build my theme around you!
This week: BUTTERFLIES!

So beautiful! I love the garland. This past winter I threw a baby shower for my sister that was butterfly themed. You have so many wonderful ideas here I wish this would have been posted before my party. You can see images from my party here:

And I created this accordian book because the pages reminded me of folding butterfly wings: http://qreativequail.blogspot.com/2009/12/book-binding-iii_15.html
Just checked out your party. Love all the details!! And that book is fantastic.
