HELLO KITTY PARTY

What's not to LOVE about these super glam, girly, & (of course)... PINK,

birthday party invites! I wanted to make sure they were just as

cute as the little girl that they were made for! 

Thanks AB (and Laura) for letting me create them for you!!!

Hope you like them as much as I do!

THANK YOU VETERANS!!!

A wonderful post from my friend Sally at

Polka Dot Market that was worth sharing...

"To our veterans, servicemen and servicewomen,

and to their spouses and families at home:

Thank you ...from the bottom of my heart."

"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid;

do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will

be with you wherever you go." (Joshua 1:9)

HAPPY "PREPPY" HALLOWEEN!!!

In true "preppy" style, Gracie wore an orange & white polka dotted jack-o-lantern outfit to the pumpkin patch this year and then rocked out in a preppy personalized clown costume for Halloween! Looking good Miss Gracie!

"MUMMY" CUPCAKES!

Sooooo.... I am by no means a "Bakerella", but one of the moms in Gracie's pre-school class made these super cute "mummy" cupcakes for their Halloween party and since I am always up for a challenge I had to try making them myself. They were very easy to make. All you need is vanilla cake mix (boxed of course... is there any other kind???), vanilla icing (I did add some confectioners sugar to thicken it up a little bit), lollipop sticks, large marshmallows for the head, white chocolate covered pretzels for the body and the arms, & black cake decorating gel for the mummy faces and VOILA... YUMMY "MUMMY CUPCAKES"!

DEE-LISH!!!

PRESENTATION IS EVERYTHING!

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE wrapping gifts! A FABULOUS presentation can make even a "not so great" gift look like a million bucks! I like to use unique and creative containers and I also love to personalize the exterior! Bright colors and embellishments are preppy, fun, & definitely an eye catcher. The bow on the sand bucket of Miss Sarah Belle's present is actually a hairbow that she can use over and over again! I also thought the fun pink and orange gumballs that I added to the outside of Miss "R's" gift would make any little girl smile! Want me to wrap some gifts for you?
