Here's a look at a party that I helped with a couple weekends ago. The theme was 'colors'. The celebration was for a darling two-year-old ~ Lucy. Lucy's mom, Carly, saw a cake on line that gave her the idea for the theme. We added colorful banners and garland, balloons, vinyl for the walls and for a sign, colored masking tape and butcher paper for the table, cups of crayons for coloring and doodling on the papered table, veggies and fruit in all different colors, and bowls and jars filled with colorful candy. We thought it was all really cute ~ and Lucy was absolutely loving the fact that she was the center of attention for the night.

For the cake, we used 2 white mixes, divided into 4 each. I used gel coloring to get the really rich, vibrant color.
The hardest part was under-estimating the amount of frosting that it needed. (It took a lot!) Also, serving was a bit tricky because it was so tall. :)
By the end of the night, the table was covered with doodles and cake and ice cream and candy. All we had to do was fold it up and throw it out. Lucy was a happy, exhausted, birthday girl!
WELCOME!
Almost everyday, I see or find something I want to share with someone. That's why I'm often saying something to the effect of, "Hey! Look what I found...". As I gather ideas and inspiration from everything around me, some of these things actually turn into projects: invitations, party favors, decorations, gifts, things for my friends, things for weddings, things for my house, things to eat, etc. But truthfully, most of them go in my files. And, yes, I actually am the kind of person who goes back and looks at them. In my perfect world, I would have ample time to create (or attempt) every fabulous project, as well as endless resources to purchase all of the beautiful, unique, and sometimes quirky things I come across. But until then, I would love to be able to share this obsession I have of looking for the next incredible find. So, come back often--it will be an insight into my thoughts (which I always find entertaining, at the very least) and an adventure in creative possibilities.
