cupcake wars party!

Here is a little snippet of what we are working on this week! We get the pleasure of working with a very special "soon-to-be" nine year old, Gaby! We have thrown parties for both of her siblings and now it is her turn! She came up with the great idea of throwing a "Cupcake Wars Party"! I know about the show Cupcake Wars because of a Sunday afternoon where I just happen to stumble upon a Marathon! I think I watched an entire season in one sitting....very addicting show! So here goes...we start the planning process! 

First...invites! She is having a small party with close friends and wants to have them hand delivered! We decided on cupcake toppers with all the information included! Here is what we came up with! 

We will be figuring out the box or bag that the cupcakes will go into but for now...this is what we got! Super cute and can't wait to show you more! 

Strawberry Party

Here is our latest project! Our current client (soon-to-be the big FOUR year old) Mimi wants to have a Strawberry Party! She is the sweetest little girl in the world and couldn't be more perfect for this theme! Her Mom found some invitations on Pinterest that she wanted us to make, mimic....oh shoot, just plain copy! I thought it would only be right to give props to the amazing talent of the ladies of One Charming Party , for whom I snatched the idea from! I think our version came out pretty darn cute! 

We also are making a Mimi Farm Stand, where the kids can earn Mimi Money and buy little treats! I think if money were this cute in real life I would probably spend more....good thing it's not! 

Stay tuned for pictures of this fabulous party! 

little Man Party

I am so happy to feature this party! This was a close friend son's first birthday and she chose the theme of Little Man! It came out so darling! 

multi-color should be it's own color

As I wandered the Long Beach Flea Market, I was so taken by this I had to take a photo and share. Wouldn't this be a fun color scheme? All of them! Multi-color should just be considered a singular color.  It is for people like myself who just can not commit to any specific color as a favorite. I would commit if someone just let multi-color be it's own.

Just another example of how fun multi-color things can be.

How fun to see my close friend Suraiya's wedding featured on Poppytalk's blog.  Suraiya and I worked together as Visuals back in the day.  I still remember it vividly, that day she came to work and showed me her brand new shiny ring.  She seemed so happy and surprised.  What is even more sweet is the fact that it was NO surprise to anyone who ever saw them together.  They were simply made to share life together.  We all knew and we still know...so romantic! 
Of course the wedding was gorgeous!  Suraiya has impeccable taste as does Matt and all of the people who surround them.  I loved it all, every small detail was true to their style and personalities.  In addition, I loved that whether the wedding cost a little or a lot- no one will ever know because it was never part of the theme. It was not intended to be a showy spectacle, just a union of two great friends- their way.

It looked like a million bucks though!!!!  Just saying!!!!
