Holiday Cards

when i first opened my shop, i never thought things would be going so well that i would be ready to offer any holiday designs.  well, i have had requests for them and have just started putting a few ideas out there.  working on about 5 or 6 more to post later this week.  what do you think?  honest opinions!!

Another Fab Giveaway

everyone who knows me knows that cupcakes are my absolute favorite dessert ever!  so, when i stumbled across this giveaway today, i knew i had to share it will all my lucky friends and family.  race right over to www.thebakingsheet.blogspot.com and comment on her post for a chance to win her new  book, 1000 ideas for decorating cupcakes, cookies and cakes. It looks amazing!

Whoo's Having a Baby

owls are my sweet daughter preslee's favorite animal.  when she moved into her own room and got a big girl bed she picked out the owl bedding from pottery barn kids and has since had to have every single accessory that they make.  i think they are just so cute!   just finished this design tonight.  wouldn't it be perfect for a sweet baby girl shower?

and matching party circles too!

Amy Miller Giveaway

everyone loves giveaways especially with the holidays right around the corner!  i stumbled across this one this morning hosted by glory ofwww.glorioustreats.blogspot.com.  you must check it out!  amy miller designs are amazing and she has not disappointed with her cupcake christmas ornaments.  they are adorable!  i entered and if i don't win, am still ordering for christmas gifts.  these are too cute to pass up!

Pumpkin Patch

my good friend Jill, emailed me this week about doing some pumpkin/halloween party decor for her daughter, Charlotte's birthday party this weekend.  first of all, let me say that i LOVE fall birthdays.  all three of my girls birthdays are in january and we are stuck inside for all the festivities.  fall birthdays have the greatest weather, gorgeous colors to work with and so many fun ideas!  ok jill, i am jealous!!

here are the cute pumpkin cupcake toppers, water bottle labels and birthday sign i made for charlotte.  can't wait to see how they coordinate with all of your other party ideas!

My First Order

to say that i am excited is an understatement!   i have had to pinch myself all day.  i just got my first order for invites and party decor from a real customer, not my family or friends!  woo-hoo!  i just can't believe it.  it's from a mom in dallas, texas who saw my site on Facebook through another friend of a friend.  she contacted me to help her design her sweet little girl's first birthday party.  she wants to do a cupcake theme and we know that i LOVE cupcakes so that was an easy idea for me.  here's the first draft of an invite i am working on for her.
