London Olympic Games {SWEETS} + eyepster glasses

How excited are you about the London Olympic Games...don’t you wish you were there?!

We sure do!…but that doesn’t mean we’re not going to celebrate and enjoy the events like if we were there!! I personally get really excited and a way to show it of course is making some sweets for our mini party at home!

You guessed it, we will be enjoying cookies, cupcakes and some drinks in front of our TV! Our party wouldn’t be complete without our fun London themed glasses, part of a novelty collection by www.eyepster.com …have you seen them? As soon as we saw them we fell in love with all of the designs they offer, and if that wasn’t enough you can actually customize your OWN!! They will be the perfect addition to your next party!

 Here’s my husband having fun with them!

And here are a few of my favorites:
