$80 CSN Giveaway/Fiesta Friday - I Scream, You Scream

*********THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED!!!!******

I know, I snuck in a giveaway on a Friday, but it seemed perfect for today's ice-cream themed post! Before we get into that...every summer we have an ice-cream themed glorified playdate and it's coming up next week. We invite friends to bring their favorite toppings and we provide the rest.

To get some inspiration, I did some bippity bopping around the blogosphere and here's what I found to celebrate summer's ultimate spokesperson....


ice cream inviteOh, I would so be there if I received this invite from My Time, My Creations, My Stampendence.
ice cream bar from Amy AtlasThe great Amy Atlas always inspires; check out this amazing spread she did for an Electrolux event, so many yummy details, from ice-cream cookies to brownie ice-cream pops.
confetti popsConfetti pops from Country Living hide a surprise: a soft-in-the-center miniature candy bar.
ice-cream block partyAn ice-cream sandwich buffet from Your Homebased Mom is fun, affordable and crosses age lines...the perfect party activity.
ice cream baby showerThis pretty baby shower has personalized cups and little wooden spoons! It's those little details I heart so!
milkshake partyOh, more love for this retro milkshake bar from Elizabeth Anne Design; the models built the bar themselves and sewed the backdrop from cloth shower curtains. I knew they looked familiar, I've seen them at Target!
These ice cream cupcakes from Martha won't melt and are just as fun as the real thing.
ice cream cotton candy coneThe perfect party favor, a cotton-candy ice-cream cone, complete with instructions from La*T*Da.

OK, so the following aren't technically ice-cream but hey, it's my blog and I can do what I want. Plus, they were too awesome not to share.
PopBarNew York's PopBar is handcrafted gelato on a stick...and looks like pure heaven.
ice cream fakesiclesCelebrate Today is killing me with her Fakesicles...you know you are heading to the store to make your own.
CSN Stores ice cream collageInspired yet? I can get you started...the over 200+ CSN Stores has an extensive collection of everything you need, from summer entertaining projects like redoing the bathroom sink to getting your hands on an ice-cream maker for homemade treats. Jason contacted me again to share with one of my fabulous readers

  14. Did you know that I am currently up for adoption?!! It seems like your house would be the BEST EVER!! I never said anything (how rude am I?) but we have been making gum ball flowers for every birthday, secret sister etc we can and they are a HUGE hit--thank you!

    I had never visited this wonderland you call CSN before but that picture of those cute serving dishes sucked me right in. One hour of my life gone. *poof* Just like that! I am pretty sure my summer entertaining needs the entire CSN inventory but I think I still like those darling

  66. Can't remember if I entered or not, so if you see me on here again, feel free to delete.

    Come to think of it, they probably shouldn't let me enter these, since I have won a couple of CSN giveaways on other blogs, and hosted giveaways/reviews myself.

    If I win this one, I'm looking at a butterfly-shaped braided rug for my daughters' room.
