HELLO KITTY!!!

First of all, I would like to apologize for the lack of post.  The Girls, Christmas, the New Year, our recent trip to Disneyland and our new puppy has seem to have gotten the best of my time.  Well, with that said, I have started my mission to start the early planning stages of Catherine's 4th birthday bash!!! Catherine is a HUGE Hello Kitty fan (I think she has more Hello Kitty shirts than I have shoes!!!).  So, I started searching for Hello Kitty themed parties on some of the blogs I follow to get some ideas and just had to share these adorable parties with you. 

The first one is from Bird's Party Blog and there are so many things about this party I love and can not pin point just one!!



for more photos and details about this party you can check it out here.

The second party comes from Richterology.  Stephanie did an amazing job putting this precious party together for her two girls.








Be sure to check out all the other photo's and cuteness from this party HERE.

AND.....the last one was featured on Save the Date for Cupcakes (unfortunately, the original blog it was featured on is no longer available).  This party is so far up the cuteness scale that I can hardley take it!!!

 





Don't you just love it?!?!

Well after all this searching she informed me that she wants a puppy themed party, so it's back to the searching!!!!

Ooh la la...Charlotte's 6th birthday Paris party

For those of you who know Charlotte, you know she is nothing less than a Diva!!! So, when I came across this adorable Paris themed customized party printable set from Paper Glitter I knew I had found what I was doing for her 6th birthday! I loved how everything turned out and I think she did too because of all the "thank you's" I got from her after the party.



How cute is this poodle?!? My mom made this adorable "Pin the tail on the Poodle" for her party out of felt and it came out fabulous!

And here is my little birthday girl cheating trying to feel where the tail is!!!!

Happy Birthday sweetheart. Can't believe another year has come and gone. It's hard to believe how fast you and your little sister are growing up in to such little ladies.

Turkey Toes

Thanksgiving is right around the corner and if you know me I am always looking for ideas for cute gifts to give teachers, co-workers and friends. I recently made these for Halloween gifts (thanks to the free printables from Living Locurto!) and they were a big hit!!
Well I came across this adorable Thanksgiving gift idea from Chasing Fireflies and said "hey I can do this myself"!!!

I couldn't find the candy corn with the brown, so I just used the regular colored color ones I found. I used 16oz mason jars and these adorable FREE Thanksgiving cupcake toppers from Skip to My Lou as the jar labels. I wrapped my brown ribbon around the jar (like I did my Halloween ones) and typed "Turkey Toes" on my computer in a cute dark brown font, printed it on orange cardstock and punched it with my 2" circle punch and placed it on the lid with double stick tap. Turned out just as cute (if not cuter!!) and didn't cost me $14.00/each.

I will take a picture of the ones I did and post them soon. In the meantime, try these adorable jars out for gifts for you friends and family!!!

Hot Pink and Black Damask Party

I was recently was asked (less than a week before the party) if I could come up with some decorations for a small get together for a girl adult birthday. Well, this is what I came up with thanks to the customizable printables I purchased from Paper and Cake!!! (Unfortunately, I forgot my nice fancy camera and had to use my little point and shoot camera I keep in my purse, so the pictures didn't come out real good). I absolutely love the pink and black damask print, don't you?!?


I purchased this adorable picture frame from Hobby Lobby for 1/2 off...can't pass a deal like that up!!! I used the "napkin rings" from the paper printables I purchased and wrapped them around these white candles for a little accent piece.

Drink table!



I used cordinating scrapbook paper from Hobby Lobby as place mats for all the food dishes.

Considering the time frame I had to work with, I think it came out not to shabby!!!
