Little Ladybugs.

This is my Daughter Tae'lors 2yr Birthday Party she had last year! I was stuck on Ladybugs (even though they make my flesh CRAWL) but the theme is just so Darn Cute, so thats what we went for.

Im not really a picture taker when I get into "Party Mode" I have a tendency to 4get all about the camera so thats why there arent many pics!

  This is the lil Ladybug Herself Miss Tae'lor, her tutu was made by LadySew Wise (Thanx Lasandra she still wears it to this day)

                    This is Little Miss Taryn she wanted 2 celebrate w/ her Big Sis!

Ladybug projects (banks and bracelets). I ordered both from OrientalTrading.com. The headbands were made by yours truly!

Some of the banks after! The kids were a bunch of little Picasso's they had fun w/ these banks. After they were done my husband sprayed some gloss on them to make em' shine it worked out GREAT!!

This was a little game we played called Ladybug in my Garden. There was a hidden ladybug on the back of 1 of the flowers, I gave all the kids a ladybug sticker to stick on a flower and whoever found the ladybug was the winner.

A Few decorations. For the bags and cups I bought some Red stickers and stuck em all over each one!


This party was fun to do the sad part is Daddy left the next day (July 4th) headed to Iraq! But the good news is he will be back in time this year for yet another GREAT EXTRAVAGANZA!!!

Teahnna's Place!

Well Mission Teahnna's Birthday Party was a complete SUCCESS and I am no longer stressed about the party WHEW!! As promised I said I was going to post pictures from this most GLORIOUS EVENT and that is what brings me here tonight! I hope you all ENJOY and please feel free to comment and I wouldn't mind at all if you became a follower!

It all started w/ an Invitation ( please excuse my photography skills)...I did some in green and some in purple! The green ones are my FAVORITE!!

 

I also tried my hands in a little tutu making! I had fun doing this ( I went for the long look being that this was more of a formal event)! I will definitely be making more of these in the near future!

    I then made candy bags that were fit for a princess!

 I thought that the tags just made the bags standout just a little more

At the last minute I realized that I didnt have a cupcake tier stand and the Moolah maker of the house said that I was all tapped out on birthday cash ( teehee love u babe) so I used some old platters, an old vase, a little spray paint and a WHOLE LOTTA GLUE. And I came up w/ this ADORABLE (if I do say so myself) Cupcake Stand and I only spent 5 whole buckaroos (patting myself on the back).

I then put the old (not to old) noodle and my beloved Cricut to work and cut out these adorable frog prince cupcake picks!!

 This is my very first candy bar and I am SUPER HAPPY on how it turned out! Do you see my cute little cupcake stand ;) ?

  This is how the rest of the decor panned out and yes I made those centerpieces also!

 The next few pics are of my 7 yr old Teahnna and her princess friends and my 2yr old Tae'lor who also got to enjoy her big sisters party! You can kind of see how the tutu came out ( Tae'lor is wearing it ) I love how she made it her own w/ her pink converse that she picked out herself (She is such a little rock star)!

How can I not talk about the Special Guest herself  Princess Teahnna. I want to thank Lady Sew Wise for the Beautiful dress and headpiece YOU DID AN AMAZING JOB!!

At the end of the day I had soooo much fun planning this party for my little girl ( Even though I did have a case of "Eventers Block" (giggling @ self))  and I hope that she will truly remember this for the rest of her life seeing this smile makes it all Worth it....I love you Teahnna and don't ever forget it!!

                                                     Now Whats Next!!

Military Woes!

I know its been a couple of days since I wrote but Im back! I have been running around like a chicken w/ its head cut off getting ready for this party on Saturday, Like I stated before I had "Eventers Block" and I think Im still having it a little! But I really think my real problem is, is that I am missing my husband like CRAZY right now!! I thought I would be able to get through this deployment ( being that it is my 4th one ) w/ no problem. That it would go by so quickly I wouldnt have gave it 2 thoughts that he was deployed. But boy was I WRONG!! It seems like the days are just dragging on and on and on. I try and keep myself busy but its just not working this time. I believe in my heart this is the reason why Im having "Eventers Block", because my best friend isnt here to enjoy it w/ me! Because he isnt here to support me,because he isnt here to move this here and put that there (I can be a little bossy sometimes...teeheee) but I know he is over there fighting for his country and most importantly his FAMILY!! I just wish he would hurry home to us because we (ESP ME) Miss Him So Much!! Love You Babe You are OUR HERO!!

Im Every Woman United for a Cure!

                                                                                      

We threw this event back in October of last year to raise money for a lady that had Breast Cancer I am so Happy to Say that GOD has pronounced her Cancer Free Now!! And we Rejoice with her " Thank You Lord!!"

The Name of the Event was " Im Every Woman United For a Cure" It was a luncheon that helped raise awareness on Breast Cancer. We were very honored to have this event and it is something that we hope to do every year!

A couple of days before the luncheon we handed out flyers @ another event that was given by the community. This is me signing the Pink Heals Firetruck they are an Awesome Organization that also Supports Breast Cancer Awareness!

A few purses and ribbons that were handmade by Lakeitha Brown she is also with Green With Envy Event Planning, LLC. The purses were used as favor boxes that we placed on all the tables and we placed mints in them. The ribbons were pinned on a tree ( You can kind of see it in the next picture) and as our guests came in we pinned a ribbon on them to show support for Breast Cancer Awareness. If you like anything that you see and would like to purchase please let me know. We do alot of our own handmade invites, favors, banners,tutus,headbands,wreaths etc etc.

Checking in! This was a ticketed event. Proceeds went to our Breast Cancer Recipient. Thank You Richmond Hill City Center for allowing us to have our 1st Annual Breast Cancer Awareness Luncheon @ your BEAUTIFUL Facility!!

We also had lots of doorprizes and also a silent auction on some Beautifully made baskets that were donated from businesses in/around the Coastal Ga Community.

Just one of the baskets! It had a beautiful sateen sheet set, some chocolates, and a book in it!

Me in Eventer Mode and some people standing in line for a little lunch! Richmond Hill City Center in Richmond Hill,GA catered all the food and dessert.

Everyone enjoying themselves! Thank You To Everyone Who Helped this Event be such a Wonderful Success I truly Appreciate You All!!

I didnt take any pictures of his invites but they were really simple we just printed an invite on orange cardstock pasted some clipart on it of halloween costumes and added the date,time,address like I said nothing Spectacular!

 We had alot of fun @ the party

I havent been doing this party planning thing long but since this party my ideas have only gotten bigger and more exciting and my prayer to GOD is that he will keep the creativity coming!!

Birthday in the making.

So Last year this time I was planning a Carnival for my soon to be 6yr old. And while in the mist of getting ideas while online I browsed by a "Poodles in Paris Party" So I told my 6yr old Teahnna this is what we are doing for your birthday next yr she just smiled and walked away! So I get all these great ideas and visions in my head on how it is going to look and a couple days after Thanksgiving Im having a conversation w/ hubby over the phone (he's stationed in Iraq) and Im telling him my plans and Teahnna says "Mom I don't want 2 have a Poodles in Paris Party...I don't even like Pink." My mouth drops to the floor "Are you Serious???" I say, " Yes Ma'am" she says. So I close my mouth and I say " Well what do you want 2 have?" After naming 6 or 7 different themes that I was definitely not going for ( HSM, Hannah Montana, Icarly etc.) all fun but not interesting enough for me,she finally says" I know,I know Princess and the Frog!" My eyes lit up like it was my birthday lol! This was Perfect her name is actually Teahnna (she had the name first Disney lol) it means princess in Spanish and this she truly is, and my girls and I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE the movie!  I took it and ran w/ it! We are now in the process of getting the party together we are winding down to the last week and I have pretty much everything Im going to need now I just need to put it together ( I don't know why I procrastinate but I do ).  Pics coming soon, party is on April 2nd! I should be further along with my planning being that this is what I do. But I have had what I like to call "Eventers Block" I can't come up w/ anything and I am stressing myself out! You know being that the movie came out like 2yrs ago and how popular it was one would think there would be more ideas for parties "Uhhhh Nope!!" So Im just coming up with it as I go! Once the party is over I will post pics from beginning to end so tell me what you guys think!!
