Black Pearls and Pink Touches Baby Shower January 2011

I wanted to do a sophisticated, classy, New York style baby shower for my Mark Kay friends'. These invites are my favorite so far just because I have been wanting to do this type of baby shower forever. The rhinestones were the last touch!!

Guest-of-Honor Care Package; Favors: Cake Pops and Earrings; Diaper Cake on cake stand -

all made by me with some friends' help.

Mexican themed menu with mock Sangrias and Margaritas.

My delicious cookies that are a must at almost every event :)

New Year's Eve Party 2010 (quaint)

Holiday Dinner Party December 2010

Holiday Dinner Party for our friends. Our very talented chef friend, Adam catered. I didn't take a picture of the chaffing dishes that held all the food and really didn't take a good picture of the food on my plate. It was delicious!!! Highly recommend Adam to cater any and all events!

Adam made spare ribs, barley and a few dips. He made a Banana Foster Bread Pudding for dessert. I made lemon cheesecake in chocolate cups. It all turned out great!

Blue Ribbon Bachelor/ette Party July 2010

The groom and bride LOVE everything Pabst Blue Ribbon so I thought we had to make it the theme of their Bachelor/ette Party and the plaid was the theme of the wedding, so I tied it onto the party theme invites and thank you notes.

Ordered a cake from my friend to go with the theme of the party.

Cake made by: Bayshore Cakes

Luau Birthday July 2010

Decorations galore, Luaus are so easy to decorate for since I lived in Hawaii for almost a year and have visited multiple times before and after that.

The desserts were all made by me and were delicious (key lime pie, Chocolate Haupia Pie, Pina Colada Cupcakes and of course my cookies). The food was catered by a friend's family who have a polynesian catering company - highly recommend!!

Fireworks to end the evening celebration.

Hellion's 1st Birthday Invite June 2010

My closest friend's boy turned one and he is Mr. Trouble and takes after his father so we thought it was a fitting theme!! So cute!

Cinco de Mayo Fiesta May 2010

Fiestas are fun to attend and plan. Decorations are almost as easy as luaus. I made the margarita candles with a glitter rim.

The food turned out perfect. We made all the food starting with the Tres Leches cupcakes with a strawberry on top. Shredded beef taco bar and Chicken 'Ole with of course homemade Pico de Gallo with tortilla chips. Yum!! Everything was labeled so all the guests knew what was being served.

The decorations outside kept the mode right...

Easter Celebration April 2010

I love to throw parties and it is so much fun to do kids parties. Easter is one of my favorite holidays for kids parties because I have bunnies and easter egg hunts are the best!!

I made cute BooBoo bunny favors and yummy cupcakes topped with jelly beans.

The kids frosted cookies after the easter egg hunt. It was a good time. Can't wait to do this for my kids when I have them.

Tricycle Baby Shower March 2010

My friend I designed these invites for was having a boy and loves to bicycle and be in nature plus her favorite color is green, so I couldn't resist doing a tricycle. They turned out really cute with the matching Thank You cards to top it.

Guest-of-Honor Care Package

Clementine cupcakes, lemonade, italian salad, minestrone soup and breadsticks were on the menu. Delicious!!

Flowers with the GOH Care Package. The favors were little water "bottles" with matching theme labels and baby bottle shaped sugar cookies.

My first Diaper "cake" was actually a Diaper Tricycle. It turned out too cute. It had personalized by me bibs and color themed accessories. It was a hit!!!

Pink and Green Baby Shower January 2010

My friend Ashlee was throwing a Baby Shower for her best friend and one of my friends for the first baby for all the families involved. Ashlee like the idea of green and pink so I took her out to find the paper she loved and went with it. I made gerber daisy thank you cards in the green and pink theme to match the party decor.

Guest-of-Honor Care Package for my friend was my gift with the invites.

Ashlee did a very nice job with the decorations. The gerber daises in the liquor bottle vases are my idea from my wedding that Ashlee loved along with the favors which were popcorn balls in Ashlee's cute idea of plastic take-out boxes. She did a really good job :)

New Years' Eve 2009

Made Save the Date cards since everybodys' schedules get so crazy during the holidays.

Later I sent an evite out so it could keep track of who was coming.

Decorations and food.
