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!

Radio Flyer Love!

I know I've been away from blogger world but as usual things are always hectic and in some kind of way as Jorge likes to say our life is an "organized chaos" :) I've been doing a lot of crafting and lots of wedding orders that take a lot of time due to all the little details! But I'm super excited to share a couple of new lines of party decor I've been working on for the past couple of months! I really enjoyed getting creative thanks to a super sweet customer that asked for something unique and special - A little boy's joy of being pulled around the park in a classic little red wagon is my inspiration for this entire line. This birthday party decor for 1 year old Shawn was a walk in the park. The entire line can be found over at my Etsy shop just click here!

Winter Wonderland + something for the grownups!

A winter birthday is super sweet if you're surrounded by snow, penguins, polar bears and everything that glistens in the cold wind!! How to bring all that into your home in Southern California? My new Winter Wonderland line of paper goods might help :-) I designed a double stranded birthday banner made out of three layers of snowflakes, boy and girl penguin cupcake toppers that I inserted in delicious mini donuts in a bed of shiny pearls, and scalloped snowflake toppers to match the theme. It was so much fun creating this line because I love aqua and pink together - just so delicate and pretty.

So in response to some of you that have contacted me to make more adult items...here is a sweet start...

The winter bird cupcake toppers on a berry branch to top those delicious holiday party sweets for the office or home.

Not too late!

Hope everyone had an amazing Thanksgiving! I have been very stressed all month but today I find myself more at peace. Thanksgiving was truly wonderful this year...just so much to be thankful for and having my mom, dad and Jorge next to me was a real blessing. Earlier this month someone whom I love so much was diagnosed with colorectal cancer. A series of events followed that news...trips to the hospital, an 8 hour surgery, a scary recovery and therapy and just when I was exhausted from worrying my prayers were answered. The day before Thanksgiving we got the news that the cancerous tumor had need eradicated and finally tears of happiness came. I couldn't be happier and so thankfull for all the support I got from Jorge, my coworkers and my best friend when I broke out crying in the middle of the cafeteria. So I look forward to continuing my focus in school, my business and best of all enjoying the company of my family and close friends. I can't wait for Christmas!!

Happy Halloween!

I hope everyone is having a super fun Halloween night! I've been missing out on my blog but I remembered I had promised to share some of my decorations with you so here they are! I've been having so much fun seeing everyone's outdoor and indoor creations! So many creative people out there!! :)

I decorated two acrylic shelves I have over my couch in the living room with little things I gathered here and there. The crow is special because it came from my best friends' girlfriend stach of about 10 crows! The skulls well I just had to get an anatomically correct one and another with a little bling for eyes (it's a candle too)

This is the first banner I create for my home! I love how it just fits perfect over the shelves. My favorite part is the scalloped letters and the fancy frames with a skull and spider for accents. It was George's idea to use both orange and black ribbons! He is creative too :)

The old books that Mr. Crow is sitting on are actually circa 1909 and 1917. They were an awesome find at the UCLA LSA book sale - which I was lucky enough to get a sneek preview. The actual sale is going on Nov. 1st and 2nd from 9:30am - 2:00pm at the YRL Library at the UCLA campus. Go there you will sure find amazing books for super cheap! These actually had vintage ephemera inside!! By the way there are lots more where these came from.

I made a large rosette using vintage 1900's music sheet I also found last year at the book sale for the perfect background of this witch on broom. I filled up a vase with about 2 bags of candy corn for a sweet touch.

Happy Halloween!!
