(i told you, ideas are already popping up everywhere!) the first thing i saw that really inspired me to create the board were the truffula trees made from <a href="http://clutterfreeclassroom.blogspot.com/2012/02/i-am-lorax-i-speak-for-trees.html">martha stewart's poms</a>. so simple and such a great fit for "the lorax." just remember to make your poms pointed instead of rounded. <br /><br /><br /><p><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 310px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5713274773020050834" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEix8dCCtPWywhQrl14ftCVH43a-nrJ4z9IWcUq7DJNMj4BiKhWycwgu4VEkbm-RCO8PxNol5066FhtkTkE8hiNmUzy-8eTMNbdfekFAqbojRos0Rkm5VnA9t5GaZLG0N8JniVRiGceoc4TH/s400/Lorax-Inspiration.png" /></p><br /><p>i also love the <a href="http://ediblecrafts.craftgossip.com/the-lorax-cake-pops/2012/02/23/">cake ball truffula trees</a>. i found them on pinterst where they were featured by <a href="http://ediblecrafts.craftgossip.com/the-lorax-cake-pops/2012/02/23/">ediblecrafts.craftgossip.com</a> but are actually by <a href="http://www.bakerella.com/the-lorax-cake-pops/">bakerella</a>.<br /><br />i love the idea of cotton candy at a lorax party, so i went on the hunt for a great picture of cotton candy. i came across something even better -- <a href="http://becominglola.blogspot.com/2010/07/cotton-candy-cupcakes.html">cotton candy cupcakes</a> on pinterest. the colors and whimsy of the cupcake just scream dr. seuss.<br /><br />i can't wait to design an invitation / party suite to go along with this inspiration board. i want to hear your ideas -- have you hosted a dr. seuss party before?<br /></p>Rhiannonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07182775284171362405noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694410899340190249.post-80053000716296442092012-02-17T10:05:00.000-05:002012-02-17T10:05:00.828-05:00willow house.i got so used to sharing my favorites during fourteen days of love, that when i ran across this new site, i just had to share with you.<br /><br />earlier this week a friend introduced me to <a href="http://www,willowhouse.com/">willow house</a>. have you seen their <a href="http://willowhouse.com/OnlineCatalog/Decor/2012Spring/">catalog</a>??
