A fun utensil box can be a really helpful party decoration when you’re entertaining buffet style!  It looks cute and serves such a functional purpose by containing all the paper products and silverware so your guests can easily serve themselves!  And if you’re serving up some goodies outdoors, it can also keep the breezes from making a mess of the napkins or other lightweight tableware!  Today I’m really excited to share with you the simplest DIY to make one yourself…and if you have an old pair of jeans lying around you’ve got half of what you need!  I had access to plenty of raggedy old jeans when my oldest came home from college over the summer…a pair that was practically threadbare was just right for some recycling!  Let’s get crafting so we can enjoy plenty of fall entertaining!

Backyard Picnic Party Ideas

Summer is the season for being outdoors…and a backyard picnic might be just the right way to celebrate the last days of the season before the school bells start ringing!  And even if your kiddos have already gone back to the classroom, a picnic could be a fun, after-school surprise or a back-to-school celebration!  I love a picnic for so many reasons…you can sit right on the ground, set your “table” with disposable products, and serve up simple, yet delicious food…just to name a few!  So the other day I decided that it had been too long since our last family picnic so I set up some easy, dinnertime fun right outside our backdoor!  Let me share how this backyard picnic was a whimsical way to bring my family together for an evening of summertime food, good conversation, and a few giggles along the way!
