All Us All the Time New Birthday Greeting Cards

We added a festive set of birthday greeting cards with playful balloon illustrations to our special occasion page. Wait a minute, what is that, it can’t be, oh no but it is...our balloons have been invaded by...BIRTHDAY PIRATE SKULL!!!!!

That’s right me maties, it is a yo-ho-ho and bundle of birthday balloons with that eye-patched, polka-dotted scarf fashion maven, Birthday Pirate Skull. This little birthday pirate skull is available in four colors, green, blue, purple and gold or you can get an 8-card set with all the colors. His birthday greeting is “Shiver me Timbers...It’s Your Birthday!”.









Rumor has it that the 3rd installment of that teeny tiny blockbuster pirate movie is coming to theaters in May, so if you know someone having a birthday coming up, who is a big fan of teeny tiny pirates, then this birthday pirate skull greeting card is sure to be a hit as well.

All Us All the Time Easter Greeting Cards

Making their debut this Easter season are two enchanting Easter greeting cards reproduced from my sister’s watercolor paintings. The Rabbit greeting card’s illustration is adorable, you just want to pick up that fuzzy little creature and cuddle it under your chin. Then we added another greeting card of a wire basket filled with color eggs with a simple wish of “Happy Easter” or “Happy Spring”. These Easter greeting cards are available individually or sold together in a Stationery set of 8 greeting cards.













Two lovely Easter greetings to send this spring.

Martini Wednesday with All Us All the Time

The Cat in the Hat turns 50 years old this year. You can help this fabulous feline celebrate by sending the Cat in the Hat a Birthday card, and Random House Children’s Books will donate one book to First Book from now until May 1, 2007, limit one birthday card per person. You can create your Cat in the Hat birthday card on line or you can mail-in your own hand-made card. Details on how to send your birthday card can be found at Seussville.

To also celebrate the Seuss this month we are going to have a different Martini each Wednesday through March themed after one of those delightful stories. Hum, perhaps an odd combination? Oh let’s face it, you are never too old for Dr. Seuss and there is always a reason for a martini.

Red martini, blue martini, green martini,
Let’s make it one martini!

Red Fish Blue Fish (plus green) Martini

• 1 oz Grenadine
• 1 oz Blue Curacao
• 1 oz Midori Melon
• Red, blue and green maraschino cherries (can also use red, blue, and green gum drops)
• Optional: Red, green or blue colored sugar

First pour the grenadine into a chilled martini glass. Then rest the rounded part of a spoon against the inside of the glass. Carefully and slowly pour in the Blue Curacao onto the spoon so it runs down the inside of the glass and layers smoothly. Do this same step again pouring in the Midori. Then garnish your drink with a small wooden skewer with a red, green, and blue maraschino cherry. If you cannot find the colored maraschino cherries, you can use gum drops instead.

Optional: Start by putting the colored sugar on a small plate. Then take your chilled martini glass, dipping the edges in cold ice-water then dipping the glass in red or white sugar.

Tea Party Tips

If you are new to our blog, let me take a short sentence or two to introduce us. We are All Us All the Time, an online store with whimsical and unique stationery, greeting cards, fill-in invitations, and small gifts, created by my sister and me. Also on our site we have what we call our Tip Page, and every month (or there about) on this page we give party and decorating ideas, craft projects, and/or recipes. In the past we have had tips on egg decorating, ice-cream socials, and fiendishly fiesta feasts. We have also had recipes for Swedish pancakes, fruit pizza, and pumpkin pie with whole-wheat crust. All of our past tips can be found on our Tip Archive Page.

This month our tip is on hosting a tea party. Almost any time of the year and occasion is a perfect time for tea. You can host a tea party for birthdays, holidays, showers, Mother's Day, book clubs, or just because. You can also incorporate other themes such as a hat party, cookie party, scone/pastry party, or bring your own teacup party. For those of you who love to create, you can add a twist such as make your own hat party, decorate your teacup party, or a tea journaling party. On our Time for Tea Tip Page, we provide a few decorating ideas, elaborate on a few of the above themes, list some great tea resources to find exotic teas, tea accessories and recipes, as well as providing a basic recipe for scones. If you are interested in finding out more about hosting a tea party, please come and visit our tip page, and while you are on our site, feel free to browse around to see the many whimsical offerings we currently have available.

All Us All the Time Easter Place Cards

Hosting Easter brunch or dinner this year? Easter is a wonderful time to get together with friends and family to celebrate the beginning of spring. Here are a couple of very simple table setting ideas for your Easter table or buffet. These Easter centerpiece ideas are not original but pretty easy to do. The first is just a simple vase of tulips or daffodils, or both. For a more elaborate display you can get a decorated pail (can find at local craft or garden stores) and fill with a big spring bouquet of flowers. The second Easter table centerpiece idea is to take a big decorated glass bowl, wicker or wire basket and fill with dyed Easter Eggs.







Another charming addition to your Easter and spring table settings are place cards, and I think we know where this is leading. Yes, we just added an array of Easter and spring place cards to our site this past weekend. Whether you choose to have the wire basket of eggs as your Easter centerpiece or not, we have an adorable set of egg basket place cards accompanied with the cutest cotton tail bunny place cards, both reproduced from original watercolor artwork. Also reproduced from original watercolor art work is our spring flower place cards, stunning spring flowers in rich colorful hues.






On the more whimsical side, we have our spring pastel Easter bunny tail place cards and then our playful Easter egg place cards with fun and fanciful designs. For fans of those teeny tiny pirates, we have two Easter treats for you maties.... ahoy them Easter pirate place cards. That little, Mr. Yo-ho-ho, Easter Pirate Skull place card sporting his Easter polka dot bunny ears, will commandeer your Easter table with laughter. Joining him is that dashing peg-leg cottontail, Easter Pirate Bunny place card with his treasure chest of Easter eggs. These two Easter Pirate place cards are a playful addition to any Easter brunch, or are perfect if having an Easter egg hunt or Easter egg decorating party.






These Easter place cards will add a touch of spring whimsy to any table setting or can also be used to label serving stations, dishes on buffets, beverages, and Easter egg dye colors. Stay tuned for more exciting Easter goodies from All Us All the Time.
