Table Runners Now Available

I've had several people ask about the zebra table runners I used for my daughter's party.  I made them because I could not find them anywhere.  I decided to add them to my etsy shop today.  I am also selling the black and white polka dot ones since I made extras for my upcoming daughter's bumble bee party on May 1st.  

Here's the zebra table runner I used for my daughter's party.  I added it on the cake/cupcake table.  Love how it looks!
Here's the black with white polka dots.  I can't wait to put the bumble bee candy buffet table together!!  So.much.fun!!!!
I worked on a custom "candy bar" banner today.  This lady is having a yellow-zebra-polka dot party!  How cool and unique is that?  I can't wait for her to share some photos with me!

Hre's what I came up with....what do you think?
 I have a great promotion coming up on April 1st to celebrate my etsy shop's 6 month anniversary!  I honestly never thought I would get this far with it.  

THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR YOUR BUSINESS & SUPPORT!!

Ladybug Birthday Party

Sorry I have been MIA.  We were out of town for Spring break.  I am still trying to catch up on my daily chores, but needed a break from it.  I miss blogging :)

I am sharing my daughter's 3rd birthday party.  She picked out a ladybug party.  It was super fun organizing this one especially because it didn't have any pink involved!  I love pink, but I get tired of it at times. 

Here's the invite.  I can't remember where I bought them...sorry :(

 Birthday girl wore an outfit from ebay
Her ladybug bracelet looks just like this one.  I bought it from this etsy store
 Little sister wore an outfit from this etsy store
Ladybug cake was made by sweeticakes.com
My sister and I made the cupcakes.  The ladybug toppers were purchased HERE
The plates, napkins, and balloons were purchased HERE

 The birthday banner was from this website
Black and red m&m's with ladybug tags.  The tags came from HERE 

Thank you magnets were purchased from an ebay store, but it's no longer open :(

This gorgeous ladybug pinata is from this store: http://www.etsy.com/people/partylycyous

This is all I have pictures of.  I wish I would have taken photos of the treat bags because they were super cute!  I hope you still find some ideas for your ladybug party!

Have a great day!

 I found this cute pink poodle dress on ebay and I had to buy it.  She got her photos taken in this too!  I love pink and brown together :)
 My mom made her cake, cake topper, and cupcakes....
 These super cute poodle centerpieces you can purchase here: http://www.etsy.com/listing/79195183/pink-poodle-fiigures
 
I ordered some candy bar wrappers from HERE.  I also framed a photo of my daughter to give to each family as a "Thank you".
Her birthday banner and other party decorations were purchased from Birthday Express.
  These cute treat boxes were from Birthday Express too.
 
The cake table with decorations.....
The piñata was gorgeous! And you can find it on this etsy shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/partylycyous

Cupcake Party

I decided to do a cupcake theme for my youngest daughter's 2nd birthday.  My very first inspiration was this photo from Birthday Express.  I love bright colors so much!

 The invitation was designed by one of my good friends, Grace.  She has moved recently and I'm sad, but I know she is happy!  Thanks Grace!
 Her clothes and bows were purchased from an etsy store, but it is now closed.  Her sandals are from Target.
Here's my cute little cupcake....LOVE her!!  Photos taken by Paula Stiller Photography.  Thank you Paula!  Always the best!  Love you my friend!
  Big sister wore this cupcake outfit.  I found it HERE.
Here's my mom with my pretty girls.  She made big sister's bows to match her outfit.  Thank you mom!  You rock!  I don't know what I'd do without you :)
 I found this cupcake online...didn't save the site...sorry :(  I loved it to use as a centerpiece for the tables.
I made my own with empty formula cans, scrapbook paper, ribbon, and tiny pom poms.  They turned out like this one:
I used scrapbook paper and my hole punch to make this cupcake.  I took it to Staples and they printed it in color for me.  I taped these to purple paper bags.  Each child got one. 

You can see my daughter holding one of the purple bags on this photo...
The cake was my favorite!  It was made by sweeticakes.com.  She's wonderful!
 My sister and I decorated the cupcakes....aren't they pretty?
 Here's the cake table....

The piñata was a big hit!  I loved how it turned out.  You can purchase one here: http://www.etsy.com/people/partylycyous
  Birthday banner and other party supplies were purchased from Birthday Express.
I also made cupcake bites wrapped in a cello baggie with a photo magnet to give to each family as a "Thank you for coming to celebrate with us!".
Here's my family in case you were wondering what we look like....ha!
This was it!  If you have any questions, please feel free to ask! 
 I hope you find ideas for your cupcake party!
