Miranda's Sweet Shop

While planning our "Sweet Shop" party we had so much fun. Working with Miranda's mom was easy and fun, Miranda and my son go to school together. We chat every morning. So when she asked us to help her with her daughter's party, we stepped up to the challenge. We immediately started brainstorming with all the little details that can be done.

We were so excited and could not wait.

The party day came and it was so windy. The day was beautiful, but very windy! Setting up was a challenge.  

This was candy station. Talk about a sugar rush huh?!

Let's break it down as to what candy's we had.

Candy Hearts and Mint Thank you treats.

 

Rainbow Nerd and Rock Candy.

I LOVE the rainbow nerds.

Yummy!

Sour worms and gummy fish

Chocolatete covered sixlets

Marshmallow Cupcake Pops

Are you having a tooth ache yet? Well there's more. Of course we had to have Misha's Cupcakes. The flavor was Vanilla, Chocolate, Red Velvet, Cookie Dough, Guava and an extra large Cupcake for the birthday girl. One of my faves is the guava.

They are just delish have you tried one yet?

When designing our banners we try to make each banner different for everyone. That's why when designing this banner I had a blast. I spelled out her name with lollipops .

I fell in love with the banner.

Do you like it?

The backdrop was purchased at Home Goods. I found it darling and perfect for the party.

We made topiaries made from cupcake liners.  They were Pink, Green, and Yellow. Along with a sign beside them saying sweet treats. Take a look.

Each guest received a gumball machine as their "Thank you for coming."

There's was a large gum ball machine during the party for guest to enjoy.

Hope you had a wonderful birthday Miranda. Reyna thank you for letting us be a part of your daughter's special day.

Hope our Sweet Shop party has inspired you for your next event.

Me and My Dolls Line

Welcome ....... to our Me and My Doll Line!

My daughter loves the whole idea of being a princess. One day she had asked me to make her crowns for her and her dolls.

I thought what a cute idea right?

I made them and thought to myself why not start making them for other little girls and their dolls.  

This is just the beginning. I made these very plain. My daughter's favorite color is pink so we did pink.  They are sold plain with your choice of colors and are tied with ribbon in the back.  

If you would like for us to embellish them just tell us what you are looking for and we will give you a quote.

Take a look at my model. Her and her dolls

Even Ariel has a crown.

Go and check it out on Etsy.

Let me know what you think.

NewYear Resolutions and Free Printables

As the year comes to an end most of us find ourselves making our year end resolutions list, the things we want to acquire, the pounds we want to loose, the places we want to go, how organized we are going to get and where we would like to be by the end of the following year. RIGHT!. Then half way through the year cause we live in such a fast paced world we get disappointed.  We have not been able to accomplish some of the things on our expectations list, well this year I have decided to do it differently. I have made a list of the things I did do this past year as small as they may be and be grateful for them. As for the coming year I hope to enjoy everything I have right now cause more is not necessarily better. Just think whatever you’ve got right now even if you think its bad it can always be worst so I believe if you love, enjoy, and are grateful for what you have now. Everything else that you accomplish big or small even if its nothing is just icing on the cake. I laugh cause my mom who is a very silly person by the way, I would ask her how are you? She always responds if I am here talking to you I am ahead of the game. 

Thank you for a wonderful year, I wish you the best for the next and hope you continue to follow.

I leave you with a poem that my mom gave me a long time ago. She has been reading it for years, she keeps it on her computer desk and she also read it every morning while she drinks her coffee. Due to morning schedule I read it at night. Sorry if it’s a bit wrinkled I hope you enjoy it.  Below you will also find FREE printables from Paper and Pigtails.

Enjoy!!

Again sorry for the wrinkle paper. (Very old)

Wishing for SNOW {Our Christmas}

 

Wishing for snow.

Every year we do Christmas Eve at my moms house. This year we did it at our house once again,  What a surprise right? LOL we had a wonderful time and my kids enjoyed it to the fullest. They ran around, played on their swing set, and ate lots of sweets.

We live in Miami, FL so our weather is no where near what the North is going thru, but we do wish that we had a little snow, especially on Christmas. So we decorated our table with rolled snow and snowmen.

This all started when my mom and I went to shopping and found Charlie our snowman.

Isn't he adorable? I just fell in love with him.

After taking Charlie home we decided to stay with Charlies color scheme. I immediately contacted Lynlee from Lynlee's Petite Cakes for a smaller version of Charlie, made of  fondant. Her work is fabulous and beautiful as you can see below.

While looking around on Etsy for my daughter's Christmas outfit. I bumped into Julie from Cakes and Kids. I was so impressed by all the designs she had. I wanted a small stocking banner counting down the days till Christmas and she had what I needed. 

The stockings had a number one and the number twenty four glittered on the them. 

One day left till Christmas!!!

When you walked out to our patio this was the image you saw. I was so excited to see what my kids, family, and guest faces were going to be. They loved it and I was pleased.

Our Lollipop banner was something different than what I normally do. I came up with this idea when I stumble on these lollipops in our Christmas boxes. It came out wonderful!

Our Snowman Hat utensil holder.

While at the supermarket I noticed the cover of Woman's Day magazine and saw an idea I liked. Their's was in red and white. It was so inspiring however, we wanted our own twist. So our color were in bright pinks, aqua, red, and green. We also added the word JOY and small Elf's.

It's not easy to make, but it was fun. Our straws and Elf's came from Hey Yoyo.

Our centerpiece for the  dinner table was hand made. The big white poof pom poms are normally hanging tissue pom poms. We decided to use them a little different.

Hand made food labels

We wrapped our cupcakes in our hand made wrappers that had a snowflake design. They were delish.

Some little decorations on our dessert table.

I had seen something similar on Pinterest. They had Reindeer's instead, but we liked the idea and thought it would a nice  to make snowman marshmallow.

Hope you had a wonderful time celebrating your holiday seasons with our loved ones.
