the parties continue…

the summer seems to be pretty jam packed with parties and all sorts of fun events as my inbox has been consistently receiving inquiries and requests for birthdays, parties and baby showers.  here are a few that started off the summer for me.

i received a special request for a garden bug theme birthday party in the style of my little invites.  the outcome was this little love bug invite that will shortly make its way to my etsy shop along with a couple new designs i’ve been working on.  (stay tuned for those!)

a lovely young lady contacted me after seeing my 30th themed cupcake toppers and wanted to do something special for her own 30th.  here are her flirty thirty cupcake toppers and matching thank you notecards.

to complete the minnie mouse themed birthday party invitations i designed, here is a look at a couple additional things i did to help bring in the theme to the event.

parties galore!

well, another month seems to have passed me by and now i have to play catch up on my blog and share all the fun events that i worked on for Chlo+E‘s fun table spreads.

here is a quick run down with some snapshots to get you up to date…

here is a lucite concession stand the girl’s created for the screening of Nickelodeon’s iParty with Victorious.

the bachelor’s melissa rycroft had a western themed sip and see hosted by huggies, where the girls designed an adorable western themed dessert table.

a colorful spread helped create this rainbow themed party for a little boy’s 3rd birthday party.

and the most recent event that took place, was a vintage themed baby shower.

new discoveries

i recently discovered yoga. and what an amazing discovery it has been! i can honestly say that i’m hooked. i look forward to my yoga days each and every week. i guess you can say with the hustle and bustle of life, taking an hour and half out of your day to just let go is absolute bliss for me. i find that i’m more calm and centered after each class and have discovered the most amazing sleep i’ve had in years!

yesterday night i tried out a new class and the instructor read us a passage from something she came across this week during one of our cool down poses and it absolutely moved me. hope you enjoy these words as much as i do…

a quote from Esther Abraham-Hicks:

“All is well, and you will never get it done. Life is supposed to be fun. No one is taking score of any kind, and if you will stop taking score so much, you will feel a whole lot better – and as you feel a whole lot better, more of the things that you want right now will flow to you. You will never be in a place where all of the things that you are wanting will be satisfied right now, or then you could be complete – and you never can be. This incomplete place that you stand is the best place that you could be. You are right on track, right on schedule. Everything is unfolding perfectly. All is really well. Have fun. Have fun. Have fun!”

*image above was taken by me back in 2005 when i was in costa rica (sunset over the arenal lake). it’s one of my favorite captured “right here, right now” moments.

minnie mouse the “in a card” way

a client of mine asked me to create invitations for her daughter’s 3rd birthday party using a minnie mouse theme.  i wanted to put my own “in a card” twist to a very classic disney character.  this is what i came up with…

i’m am very happy with the end result because i was able to translate disney’s minnie mouse the “in a card” way…  simple, unique and super cute!

new simplewear gift box

don’t you just hate when they discontinue your favorite nail polish or lipstick color???

well that is how i felt when my vendor was completely sold out of the boxes i use for my simplewear gift wrap. unfortunately, i haven’t been able to find those boxes anywhere! in stores or online! so what happens now? well you roll with the punches and find a new box.

meet the new simplewear gift box…

same cute packaging, a darker more “krafty” color but still holds those adorable simplewear onesies and tees! once again, available for purchase at my etsy shop.
