Welcome back, Me! No I'm not dead...

So I never do the whole Blog thing. I totally get excited about it and then I don't do it. C'mon people... I have two kids, a job, a house to run and my dearest hubs. I DON'T have time. lol But today I am going to make time. Why? Because I did something I wanna share, duh. Here it is...

First I want to share my first PAID gig as a Event planner/sweeties maker. Here are some of the pictures from what I did:

Nicolas Pixler's Mario themed birthday party

 Mushroom cupcakes

 Turtle shell game

There was coins in the balloons and when you popped them, you scored the coins

 The beginning of the Birthday Banner

The middle of the banner, It reads "Nicolas Is 6!" and the rest of the banner is the same as the beginning

 Goomba Cake balls

 Pin the tongue on the Yoshi

 Chomp Pinata

Mario World backdrop, Birthday boy himself

The kids in the Mario and Luigi hats and mustaches I made.

Me about to get beamed by the pinata... or one of the kids hitting it... Thank you Michelle Napper for capturing this moment... and all my chinny chin chins...

That was super fun! I love how all the kids participated and had a good time. Not to mention got ALL HYPED UP with all the sweets. You're welcome parents... :)

This is a Gender reveal party I did, with the help of a couple lovely ladies, and the fam of the soon to be parents. I had a blast doing this party for my dearest friend. It was work but it was fantastic...

Its a girl!!

This was a particularly fun party because it was for someone near and dear to my heart, and I hope this will be a day she won't soon forget. And I love that I got a chance to throw a party like this. One more thing under my belt! Can't wait until I can start booking parties for all occasions and can share my love for Event planning, and parties in general with everyone that will take me! I have an idea for a name for my... business (?? This sounds dumb since I've only had one paying event, lol) but I don't know if I should share it... lol! I'm pathetic, I know. Well if you know anyone that has a special event coming up and needs help planning it, get with me! I can take care of your event and even make the sweeties to go with it!

Ok well I guess that is all I have for now... Maybe I will keep up with this blog... ha!

What a crafty one!

Today I have been working on little craft products that I just love! I think I found one of my new home decor crafts. What is it, you may ask? Here's a taste...

Do you see the pattern? Pages and pages of harmless fairy tales went to meet there maker at the hands of me, the maker.. of crafts.  I just love how simple but... sophisticated..  (?) it is! I love it! I am not done I just didn't have a patience to make a fuller bouquet because I wanted to see the finished product. Luckily the book I have begone to dismember is a a rather big book so I have plenty of ammo. Besides the flowers, my favorite piece was the pinwheel. I didn't have all the equipment to make it a working pinwheel but it is on my "Hobby Lobby" list.
I also had the chance to rearrange my media/picture wall. I did this yesterday but I had to "fix" one of the frames. It was too boring. I had to jazz it up to match the rest of the wall.

 I painted the far top, right picture the same color as my chair, the one that bella is on in the picture. I painted just the outside so it gives it a little depth.

We got a new (to us) shelf with doors (I totally blanked on what its called) that has been floating around Darren's family, and it landed here... after we asked for it. :) I love it. Its a great piece of furniture. This is the finished  look of the living room.

Only this I might change eventually is I might put a bigger picture in the middle, to replace the shiny silver one. I think it would look fuller if I did that, but other than that I love my new and improved wall!
Well I must be getting back to the life of mommy...

Until we craft again..

To follow a dream...

So I am going to take advise from someone very close to me and I am going to start doing some event planning. I have thought about this before, turned the idea around in my head a few times, and after the response I got from my son's birthday party, I'm doing it! I'd be planning the event based on the client's desired theme, colors, or whatever specifics you would want. As little detail or as much as they offer, I would go off that to create the perfect, fun event for your occasion.
As I stated I just had my son's 2nd birthday party and it was the most fun and creative thing I have ever done! Here are some photos of the occasion and what I made for it.

So this is some of the stuff I did for his party. I'd say this birthday was fun for all the children there. From my (almost) 1 year old daughter, to some of the 6 year, old kids there. The tent and pumpkins were a big hit, as well as the mustaches, which were used as props for the photographer, Alyssa Peppers, to take pictures of the kids there. Here's one of them:

Lol! Love these kids! 

Well, I have a lot more ideas for a lot of different events, so if you want your kids, spouse, family member or friend to have a good time at your special occasion/party, and you don't have the time or patience to make it as perfect as you want it to be, Get with me! I will handle it for you!
