Tangerine Tango
Pantone's color of the year for 2012 is called "Tangerine Tango". What a great color, so bright and cheery! You could make some serious statements with this color, both in your decorating and your wardrobe! Here are a few of our favorite Tangerine Tango ideas for your closet and your home:
Can't wait to see this color popping up throughout 2012!

Bubbly Babycakes
I got a very fun new kitchen tool for Christmas this year and I just couldn't wait to put it to use.

New Years Eve I was in charge of making a dessert for our Progressive Party, and so only one thing came to mind... Babycakes (and champagne)
I came across the most perfect batter recipe...
Champagne Cupcake Batter
1 box Super Moise White Cake Mix
1 1/4 cup Champagne
1/3 cup Vegetable Oil
3 egg whites
After cakes cooled we used a homemade double-boiler and melted white candy melts bought at Michael's
We also found festive sprinkles in both gold and silver our color combo for the evening. Rolling each Babycake in sprinkles started out pretty complicated, once we discovered a method, we became a Babycake Making Factory!
Our method was plopping the cake in the melted chocolate and using two spoons to evenly distribute the melted goodness, after that either gold or silver (sometimes both) sprinkles were sprinkled all over the sticky babycake. We then let them cool on parchment paper.
These cakes turned out so moist from the simple addition of the bubbly!
How festive.

NYE Progressive Party Success
Well our NYE progressive party was a success! We went a tad overboard on the decorations and food, but hey it was New Years Eve, and we found way too many cute gold and silver decorations and party favors! Here are some pics of our party...
We found a free print out online of this cute HAPPY NEW YEAR banner, that we hung with some silver ribbon. Other decorations we found at US Toy and Party Warehouse. The silver and gold glittered cake balls were a huge hit! (tutorial coming soon).
We made these awesome glittered star headbands ourselves, after seeing this one on etsy for $75!! All we needed was glitter foam sheets (we found it at Michael's), ribbon, and hot glue! Cut out star shapes (we did 5 per headband), and hot glue each one to your ribbon, leaving enough room on each end to tie the ribbon in a bow on the back of your head! It took us about 15 minutes, and cost about $3.

New Year, New Calendar
Happy New Year! I hope that you have started off 2012 on the right foot! Have you set your new year's resolution? Or maybe done some Winter cleaning/organizing? One of my favorite parts of starting a new year is picking out a new calendar!
Here are some cute 2012 calendars that I have found floating around the Internet...
