We are actually going to be having a "photo shoot" with a horse later this week. These photos will be used at the party and of course in the invitation above.
Follow me as I piece this fun "horsey" party together!
Boy did I have FUN at Target today! Spent a little more then I wanted, but I also saved A LOT!

3x Airwick Scented Oil Warmers: $3.99
This banner I designed on my computer using a digital scrapbooking kit. You can find many free kits by googling. I folded over the top of the triangles and used jute to hang it. A little red raffia in between each letter added an extra special touch.
Close up of the banner
I printed out the "papers" from the same digital scrapbooking kit and cut out hearts. I attached the hearts to kabob skewers and then into a painted pot with foam to keep the heart upright.
I, again, used the same digital scrapbooking kit to make photos to insert into this picture frame. Using digital scrapbook kits is a great and inexpensive way to create and carry out a theme.
This was our Valentine's Day dinner table
The centerpiece was an Eiffel Tower that was already an item from the house. The round circle is an after Christmas clearance find (the other side has snowflakes on it!). The heart and candle holders are all items from around the house
This was our daughter's place setting. I had a couple of those plastic cups from Walgreen fillers - they do come in handy! And also you must notice I'm using Chinet Plates = Less Clean Up!
Here was an adult setting with the wine glass. I dug through my daughter's construction paper for the red and pink "place mats"
I used white heart doilies for the coaster which came from the $1 bins from Target. I couldn't find my white napkins, so I took Tranformer napkins from a previous party and turned them inside out. I wrapped the silverware in red scrapbook paper strips for napkin rings. The hearts on the napkin rings came from a note card that I cut up.
The desert bar!
I got this cupcake tower at Walmart for $5 during Christmas!
The cupcake toppers are from $1 Store Valentine's. I took the stickers from the Valentine's and added them to toothpicks.
Can't forget the Chocolate!
My favorite part! I made angel food cake and cut it into cubes. I got frozen strawberry's in sugar on sale for $1 at the grocery store and had the cool whip on hand. Also had short bread cookies from Walmart - $1.50 for those
This dip chiller had an American flag on the front so I covered the outside with tissue paper I had on hand and it worked great!
I still hadn't used the Welch's sparkling grape juice I'd gotten back during the holidays (I think I got them for $.75 each??) So thought now was a good time to pull them out. My almost 4 year old said it was like soda and was tickled to drink juice with bubbles!
It's hard to see here, but I bought a heart ice cube mold from the $1 Store and filled them with the Welch's sparkling grape juice and added the cubes to the glasses for a special little touch.
1 Medium onion - sliced
1 c. white button mushrooms - sliced
1 lb. ground beef
seasonings you have on hand
hamburger buns
slice of swiss or cheddar cheese
Patty ground beef (I sprinkle seasons over burger, but you can incorporate it into the beef before pattying). Start cooking in skillet.
Add mushrooms and onions to a different skillet with a touch of extra virgin olive oil and saute till the onions start to look transparent.
Once burgers are done, top with cheese, add to bun, and top with mushroom & onion mixture.
Add additonal topping is desired!
