Did you know I was born and raised in Mexico?  Well, now you do...ha! :)  I am such a fan of fancy Quinceañeras (15th birthdays).  I had my own big Quinceañera many years ago...haha!  I won't tell you exactly how many! :)

I was so excited when Claudia from Tini Posh accepted to share this party with us! Check it out....amazing details!!  Loving the turquoise color!!!

WOW!!! I wish I could be 15 again so I could have a fancy party like this one!!!  Awwww, but I have 2 gorgeous daughters who will possibly may end up having one.  Only if I can talk my sweet hubby into it...wish me luck...ha!! 

Thank you Claudia for sharing this fabulous party!!!  Beautiful job!  You can check out Claudia's etsy shop HERE....she has CUTE stuff!

The "Party" Room

Happy Friday everyone!!!

I want to share one sneak peek picture of my "party" room as my girls call it.  It is my favorite room in our house.  I started remodeling this room about 2-3 months ago.  It is almost done.  I am waiting for shutters I ordered 4-5 weeks ago.

The zebra mural was painted by one of my good friends, Jennifer.  This photo was taken by another great friend, Liz.  Check out her photography blog HERE.

Have a wonderful weekend!!!

My Vintage Baby Little Models

Did you hear I am a representative for My Vintage Baby Direct?  I am super excited to be hosting my first trunk show in my home this coming Saturday! 

I received a box a couple of weeks ago with gorgeous clothes!  My diva daughters were all over the box.  I should have taken a video of them undressing super fast to try on all the new outfits!.. So cute!!! 

Here they are modeling for me when I dropped them off at school the other day :)

Meet big sister, Ashley :)

Meet little sister, Hannah :)

Trying to get a pic of both of them can be so not fun sometimes....ha!

And this photo totally cracks me up.....really?? silly girls!

Wedding Anniversary Party

I was honored to help style a SURPRISE 30th wedding anniversary party!  The party was last Saturday September, 4th.

The couple celebrating 30 years of marriage are my friends since 2003.  They are very special people to us.  My friend, Tiffany contacted me a few weeks before the party to get some ideas.  I immediately knew a black and white damask was perfect for a theme.  She wanted to include bright green.  I was thrilled because I had recently seen this picture from Sandra Downie Event Designs.  She is fantastic!  Check her out if you haven't already.  Lots of inspiration from her to put this party together....thank you Sandra!!!

Thank you to my sweet friend, Lisa who came to take these gorgeous pictures!!

Desserts

Cookies made by sweeticakes.com

Cake truffles made by my friend, Lisa :)

Candy bar.  The jar labels were designed by my sister.

I made cupcakes as well.  I didn't know cake lady was bringing some already :)  Cupcake toppers by "The Two Savvy Sisters".

 

Wrapped candy bars with a label saying "30 Years Of Sweetness".  Labels by Pink Clover Designs.

I made the centerpiece with black rocks, green Christmas ornaments, feathers and some greenery.  I love it!

Pretty plates from hobby lobby...

I should have wrapped the chairs in black because they were blue :(  I always learn something new for next time...don't you?

This gorgeous #30 was made by my friend, Tiffany.  You can see my banner at top.  It was hard to get a good picture because of the lighting and it was a really long banner.

She also wrapped these boxes just for decor...aren't they pretty?

Tiffany also framed this sign my sister made for me. 

Damask photo collage of the couple.  A photo book of their journey together.  Guests got to sign the book as well :)

Drinks

Bottle water labels by Pink Clover Designs

Thank you favors are small damask bags with mints.  Tags designed by "The Two Savvy Sisters".

This party was a bit challenging because it was a surprise and we had one hour to set up. I'm so thankful though.  I could have never pulled this off without everyone's help.  Thank you sooooooo much for all of you who contributed to this wonderful party!!!  I appreciate you!!!  A super special thanks to Kim, from TomKat Studio for letting me borrow her damask tablecloths! XOXO

HAPPY 30TH ANNIVERSARY MIKE & LUCINDA!!!

WE LOVE YOU!!!!
