Caroline's 40th Surprise Birthday!

Well, we pulled it off!!!! We actually surprised Caroline for her 40th Birthday! 

It had been a surprise party in the making for weeks and thought for sure she would have picked up on it, but to our surprise she never did and it was a hit!

Thanks for everyone that came in person and in spirit.  

HAPPY 40th BIRTHDAY CAROLINE!

The Fish Family (How you can help!!)

I recently read an amazing story about the Fish family on the blog NoBiggie. The Fish's have 5 children (3 girls and 2 boys). Two of the five children have a very rare disease call Leaky SCID's which requirest a lot of medical attention. And with all medical needs come expenses, and this family has A LOT of them. (You can learn more about the disease and this family by watching the video below)

Determined to figure out a way to help this beautiful family, I contacted my long time and dear friend Kori Clark (owner and designer of Paper and Pigtails). Kori has offered to donate all proceeds to the Fish family of any purchases made of her "Under the Sea" paper printables line. All customers will have to use the code FISH FAMILY at check out for this donation to be made. Below are links to her "Under the Sea" line.

Under the Seat Party Circle

With summer right around the corner I am sure you can find a reason to throw a "Under the Sea" themed party right!!! And if not, the donation alone would be appreciated.

Thank you Kori for being so generous and thoughtful.

Blake's 5th Birthday Scooby Doo Bash!!!

Two weeks ago, my nephew Blake (who I swear was just born yesterday!!) turned 5. Blake, like most little boys his age, loves Scooby Doo. Well, that's the theme my sister decided to go with when she asked me to help with ideas for his party and I must say she did a great job!!

How adorable are these invites she ordered off Etsy!!! Do you see Blake in the van?!?

My friend Melonie made these "far out" coordinating water bottle lables.

My husband and I made this "groovy" Mystery Machine!!!

Here are my doodlebugs with their cousin (aka: the birthday boy).

Yeah, couldn't get anything better out of them than these cheesy faces!!! LOL

Happy Birthday to my adorable nephew Blake, hope your party was as fun as you are.
