Under construction!

Not only the many remodeling projects still going on at our condo but definitely the inspiration behind my new party line of party decor. Tools are everywhere at our home due sweetie's love for DIY remodeling. I don't mind his hobby at all and I'm extremely proud of his work - Jorge really dives into doing whatever it is, whether it be wiring, painting, building bed frames or staining wood floors! He is truly working hard to give me the condo of my dreams and everyday I'm impressed by his passion and willingness to improve our home. So thanks sweetie for all that you do and along the way for inspiring me in my creative work! I didn't have to look very far to find the perfect props for my photo shoot such as peg boards, wood, toolbox and even diamond plating! The little construction hats made everything perfect of a cute 4 year old. I created a diamond sign Happy Birthday banner with dump trucks as accents, cupcake toppers of signs of construction trucks or little trucks themselves, a cake topper and sweetie's favorite - handy tools as favor tags :) All now available over at my Etsy shop.

May Madness!

Really sorry to have been away from my blog for so long. My life has been super busy and at many times difficult but whenever there's a death in our family it can really take me on a major roller coaster. I'm glad to say I feel a lot more energized and especially having my business blooming the way it is right now makes me feel truly blessed and frankly has kept me immensely occupied.  I look forward to the summer months spending lots of time with my family and friends. I have been working on some new party lines that I'm just not quite ready to shoot yet (still looking for the right props!) but as soon as I shoot I'll be sure to share them on my blog and of course they'll be available on my etsy shop. Since the weather has been so amazing these past couple of weeks I want to share a new "nautical baby shower" theme because I think it would be perfect for a May or June shower by the lake or beach! I created an It's a Boy banner to go along with the sailboat and anchor decorations using designer cardstock. A party cannot be complete without cupcakes and cake of course so I made sailboat, anchor and helm cupcake toppers to match the theme. Also just for fun and to tie it all together I created little blue whales that I can't get enough of how adorable they look!

Winter Onederland Real Party

I'm super excited to share with you a delightful party done by one of my customers! Kristen contacted me thru my Etsy shop back in January and was interested in the Winter Onederland package for her little girl - Brooklyn's 1st birthday party. She was so pleasant to work with and her attention to detail is amazing! She put together all the right decorations from snowflakes, large pom poms, to the most adorable tulle high chair!! Snowflake cookies, lollipops and cakepops were among her sweets. Kristen used a light pink and aqua palette and added lots of sparkle to the perfect Winter Onederland. Check out this stunning party!
