Pink Baby Shower

I was going through my old SD memory cards and I found my baby shower pictures from when I was pregnant with my daughter. This party was planned before I was introduced to the blog world. I was introduced to the blog world when I needed help planning my daughter's FIRST birthday party! It was cupcake theme and I just googled "cupcake party" and oh my! Found a lot of ideas!

Anyways...I didn't really have a theme for this baby shower, I just wanted it all PINKED out! =) My cousin Krystle made the diaper cake which was also a game "how many diapers in this cake" This shower was held in November so it was hard for Krystle to find silk pink flowers for the diaper cake...Luckily Wal-Mart had a few!

This is a big cookie cake from Mrs. Fields Cookies. I LOVE Mrs Fields! I had them probably once a week while I was preggy...this was my biggest craving I NEEDED to fulfill! I know...so bad!!! So hubby got me this giant cookie instead of the usual cake, I loved it!!! =)

The dessert table. This was a small intimate shower, I wasn't going to have another shower but as soon as I found out it was a girl...I wanted NEW GIRLY stuff for baby so the shower was a must! hehe!

I made this candy label for the Hershey's mini candy. The back just says "Thank You". I scattered these all over each tables.

 

I also had this puppy that I got from Party City for everyone to sign it like a guest book. It came with a ball-point pen but I used a sharpie pen instead. We plan to have another baby someday...not now...I don't need another shower but it'll give me an excuse to throw another party!!! =)

DIY Scarf Organizer!!!

This is a scarf organizer I  made for my cousin's birthday. She wears scarfs EVERYDAY! Winter scarf.... spring scarf... & summer scarf! =) So I thought why not make an orgainzer for all her scarfs that I saw awhile back on Dollar Store Crafts. They have all these amazing projects you can make using their Dollar Store stuff! This only cost me $1.00 for the rings! I had the ribbon and hanger on hand already. Get the full tutorial  here!

Niles' Baptism

Annette, a very close family friend, had asked me to make favors and the party decor for her son Niles' Baptism. Theme was baby blue, white and a lil bit silver.

The banner "God Bless Niles"

What's a party without the pom pom balls!?! =)

Niles had TWO cakes!!! These were made by Tara from Tara's piece of cake. I loved the cakes she made. I asked Annette if she had a site and when I looked....OH MY GOODNESS...she makes FABULOUS cakes!!!  The frame you see of Niles (between the cakes) was a centerpiece Annette put for each table along with a flower centerpiece, I didnt get a chance to take a picture of that but it was so cute!

love it love it love it!!!!

Now...on to the favors...she wanted both cupcake bites & pops

God Bless You Niles Quinn!

Isn't he so cute!!!!

LadyBug Cake Pops!

LadyBug cake pops!!! This is the first time I ever made anything OTHER than cupcake pops or ball pops!!! I think they came out cute! A mutual friend, Candace has asked  me to make cupcake pops for her daughter's 2nd birthday that was a ladybug theme... I was thinking how was I going to make a cupcake pop that would resemble a lady bug....then I thought why not try making an actual ladybug! I used mini chocolate chips for the spots.

They look so yummy to eat!!! I don't like ANY type of bugs but now I'm fond of ladybugs! =)

These are cupcake bites. I tried experimenting with the green, I wanted it to look like a ladybug on a grass but I ended up using some brown bottoms because I thought they looked better. I hope Candace liked them! =)

Custom Wedding Favors

I'm baaaccckkk!!! For tonight actually, My computer CRASHED!!! This is the 3rd time the SAME computer has crashed!!! It's time for me to get a new one! My cousin has actually let me borrow her laptop for tonight so I can upload wedding pictures from my sis-in-law's wedding to my family site...I thought why not do a blog post in the meantime! (pictures are still uploading...hehe)

My sister in law Trudy asked me to make her wedding favors...she wanted me to make cupcake bites with her personalized M&M!!! What a GREAT IDEA!!! You may remember that I did a post on their Save The Date Cards. 

One set of m&ms were their picture and the other set was their names followed by the wedding date. The wedding colors were brown, champagne, and a little bit of gold.

I'm so bummed that my computer crashed! In my computer I had the finished product of the favors and her wedding invitations I was waiting to post AFTER wedding...now everything is lost!!! =(  These pictures are from my phone, I will show you the favors as soon as the Bride gets her photos...I'm hoping the photographers took a picture of the favors! eeeeks!!!

More Tutus! =)

A family friend of mines had ask me to make 2 tutus for her 2 nieces. This tutu is orange, lime, and pink in size 7! I had never made a tutu bigger than a 4t! I think this is a great color combination! And as for the other one, I made a rainbow tutu that you have seen in an earlier post. This made me want to make another tutu for my daughter but she has enough! =)

I just love putting the tutu upside down, it looks like a ball of tutu! =)

HAPPY EASTER!!!

HOPE YOU GUYS HAD A GOOD EASTER!!! I had so much fun, we celebrate with both families; mines and my hubby's.

For my family, we celebrate at lunch time. We had a potluck style this year, of course I was going to make something that has to do with cupcakes! =) I made cupcake bites. I was trying different sprinkles, cake balls instead of "cupcake" style. I need to stick with cupcake style, the balls were harder for me!

I knew I wasn't going to have time to make cupcake toppers but I know that Kim from TomKat Studio would come thru for me and she did! And as a bonus, I bought the entire collection for half off! =)

Then, we headed to my parents-in-law's house early evening for dinner. I made regular cupcakes and still using TomKat's toppers.

BUT...it was also my brother-in-law's birthday too! His name is Micky, I thought why not make Mickey Mouse toppers! I also had some Mickey Mouse cupcake liners on hand already.

Notice the sprinkles? Its also Mickey Mouse! hehe!

Notice I used the Disney Font? Download them for free! Just google FREE FONTS! =) So many to choose from! I love so many creative fonts out there! Again...hope you guys had a great Easter! I'm still FULL from all the food! =)
