Pretty In Pink 1st Birthday Party

I love the simple theme of this party...

Pretty in Pink...

Perfect for a baby girl's first birthday
or any girl for that matter...

Take a peek at how precious this is...

This cake is gorgeous...

Doesn't sweetness just abound everywhere you look?


I'm definitely going to have to try my hand at these cookies...
I'm just over the moon looking at these...

Absolutely perfect!

New Invites

I have added a few new invitations

to my Etsy shop...

The first up...

Calling all witches...

This one is for a ladies night...

I'm SO loving the chevron 

and orange & pink color combo...

and the second I created for Goosie Girl's

birthday last year...
and since Halloween is approaching...

Switching gears...

The next one I just designed for a friend

whose little precious is turning one...

She wanted to incorporate a zebra print...

I love how it adds a tad of bling...

Do you have any parties coming up?

This pretty is sweeter than sweet!

A Monkey Birthday

You must prepare yourself

for the following party...

Go ahead and practice gasping 

and ooohhhing & aaahhhing

because that is what you will be doing

when you see this darling monkey birthday party

designed and perfectly executed by Paiges of Style...

I L-O-V-E this color scheme!...

The attention to detail is amazing...
Look at the precious birthday girl's embroidered dress...

No detail was left unturned...







Oh my goodness...
Gasps, Ooohhhsss & Aaaahhhhssss
are still coming out of my mouth...




and now my favorite...
Are these monkey cake pops not the cutest thing ever?...

Night Owl PJ Party

I absolutely L-O-V-E owls...

So when I spotted this pj party on Kara's Party Ideas

I was swooning!

This party was designed by Snowy Bliss...
I must say she is EXTREMELY talented not to mention crafty!

She actually made this bed out of 
cardboard, a marker and an exacto knife...
You can gasp now...

Keep gasping...
Is this window the most darling thing you've ever seen?
People never cease to amaze me with what they can think up...

Look at these sweet little guys...
(If you're interested in making these, click here...
I had found and posted a tutorial awhile back that showed us
how to make these precious, wise little fellows...)

Now, my favorite...
I ADORE these drinks 
with the striped paper straws and owls attached!
Love, love, love!

Skate On Over

Goosie Girl's friend is having a skating birthday party...
I designed these invites for her...

Kind of divaish don't you think?

I'm loving the toppers
which could also be used as stickers...

These will be available in the shop soon...

My Birthday

After a week of celebrating

my upcoming 40th birthday...

(my hub took me to San Francisco

which was absolutely fabulous)

it is finally here...

Today is my 40th birthday...

I'm so excited about this upcoming year...

feeling comfortable with who I am...

knowing what I like and don't like...

wanting to enjoy & celebrate...

Happy Birthday to me!

Goosie Girl's Party

The girls did enjoy Goosie Girl's party...

They were asking all kinds of questions about the dessert table

and I could tell they really appreciated the little touches...

The colors, as you know, were royal blue, fuschia, black & white...

I found these darling, sparkly cats at Pier One...

I covered chocolate bars & added a festive tag...

They are sitting upon a pedestal that I tied tulle around

to look like a tutu...

Pink pumpkin also came from Pier One...

You can't have a party without pops...

Those are brownie pops...

Doughnut holes are in the back pedestal...

The rock candy was a HUGE hit...

The girls had their choice of brew...
root beer or grape...

I stumbled across a cupcake store that is delicious...
Sweet Designs Kitchen...
I got an assortment of different flavors
and put toppers on them...
I kind of like just buying everything...
it's a lot easier!

I made the rosettes for an extra touch...

I also made Goosie Girl's headband with the same...

Beautifully done chocolate covered Oreos

from Sweeties by Kim...

The girls were most impressed with these!

You can't appreciate them very well
but those pink things are actually gummy teeth
that I bought at Cracker Barrel...

Poms from Pom Love...

The favors were monogrammed bags...

Goosie Girl in her tutu I made...

Posing...

One of the games that evening...
mummy wrapping...

The tutu didn't last long...

And they all had a wonderful, witchy time 
laughing, running around, eating & enjoying...
The End...
