Tinkerbell/Captain Hook Party

 Party Wishes hosted a Tinkerbell and Captain Hook party for a sweet 5 year old little girl. It took place at her parents amazing home high above Hollywood.

 Rain clouds threatened during the party and we even had a very brief hail storm before the party got underway. We quickly moved to plan B and moved the tables under the patio cover near the outdoor fireplace.

 I made sure there was a crocodile to keep Captain Hook away from the party!

 I made these pom flowers out of plastic tablecloths ...much more weather friendly.

 Tinkerbell lead the guests on a treasure hunt where they discovered bubble swords and slide whistles. The hunt ended upstairs where the grand treasure was a butterfly filled candy buffet.

 It was a feeding frenzy!

 I had butterfly, flower and pirate ship custom cookies made by Lori's Place.

 Sour Punch Twists had signage from TomKat Studios.

 Chocolate coins in Captain Hook's pirate chest. Sucker circles from Alegria Studios.

Watch for my flower pom tutorial!

I'm so happy the chicks at Eighteen25 have a new St. Partick's subway art for my frame. Get yours here.

Ruffled Heart

 I invited a few friends over so we could make these adorable ruffled heart wreath I found here.

 It said each heart uses about 3/4 of a yard but I think I placed my a little closer together so I think it was more like one yard per heart. Since I have double front doors, I had to make two. That was a lot of circle cutting!

 Here is the shelf above my TV. I made a 16x20 subway art print from this post and made my own heart garland. Michael's had 40% off punches and scrapbook paper so I couldn't pass it up!

I had a few circles left over, so I made the little pink ruffled ball with a 4" styrofoam ball. I'm off to make some pillows for my front porch bench!

Snowy Snack

 Last week, it was Sheridan's turn to bring snack for her Girl Scout meeting. A few weeks ago, I saw this adorable idea on Celebrations at Home and Bakerella and I knew this would be perfect for the troop.

So, I bought 3 packs of Starbuck's Light Mocha Frappachinos and started sucking them down. I made little scaves out of gringham fabric, hot glued the buttons and bought paper straws from Bake It Pretty.
I also made French Vanilla cupcakes with homemade frosting with chunky crystal sugar. The snack was a HUGE hit and was very welcomed since it was 80 degrees that day!

Happy Birthday Betty!

Happy 89th birthday Betty White! I met her a few years ago at the LA Mart on a buying trip. She was signing otter Christmas ornaments as a fund raiser for an animal charity. She was very sweet and I feel very lucky to have met her.

Paper Crafted Party

 Here is a beautiful hand crafted party for a lucky 5-year-old from The Crafting Chicks.

I want this party for my birthday today!

Today I am 46 years old with 42 years of crafting experience...just ask my mom!
