A Pinkalicious Soiree!

You may remember back when my oldest turned 11 and I showed you her Hollywood Themed Party. After her party my then 6 year informed me she wanted a pink birthday party. “EVERYTHING has to be PINK Mommy”. So I got to Google-ing!
We used one of her favorite books, Pinkalicious for inspiration. For food we had the Pinkalicious cupcake (of course), finger sandwiches in the shapes of stars, hearts, and scalloped circle, pink candy & sprinkle dipped marshmallows, Oreo cookie’s with pink cream middles (lucked up on those), pink gumballs, pink fruit dip and fruit, and my favorite PINK deviled eggs! 

All of the decorations were hand made. I started in May!

Are those pink filled Oreo’s the best thing you’ve ever seen! I almost screamed with excitement when I saw them in the grocery store. My original plan was to buy the blonde ones and dip them in pink chocolate.

All the girls’ got their own pink tutu, wings, pearls, and tiara’s.

They played –Pin the cherry on the cupcake-

Sissy & her friends read them the Pinkalicious Story.

They played -Cookie Face- you have to put a cookie on your forehead and try to get it into your mouth without using your hands.

Sister and her friends were a HUGE help, they took care of the party guests so I could be free to take pictures.

Sissy was so excited to help, she made cupcake shaped name tags for herself and her friends. They painted each of the girls nails.

After all of the presents were opened, belly’s full of cupcakes and ice cream, and all the games had been played. They ran around blowing bubbles. Pookie Doo said it was the best Birthday Party EVER! (She say’s that after every party).

Pink-a-palooza!

That is what it feels like at my house right about now. Pookie Doo’s birthday is less than a month away but party planning began a few months back . Just wanted to give you a sneak peak @ one of the pink-a-licious crafts! I’m adore almost anything ruffle-y.I am absolutely loving how all of the homemade décor is coming out! ((CHEESIN’)). The party is going to be very small, just her and 5-6 friends so I’m trying not to go tooooo overboard! Wish me luck!

Happy Birthday Hubbs (belated post)

The Hubbs Birthday was early in May and I totally forgot to post about the absolutely insanely delicious birthday cake that I made for him. His favorite is Red Velvet. We both LOVE the Ultimate Red Velvet Cheesecake at The Cheesecake Factory. I can bake Red Velvet Cake and I can bake a cheesecake-how hard could it be to put the two together? Not hard at all-just really time consuming!

But sooooo worth the time and effort! I started this cake at around 6ish and here is The Hubbs blowing out the candles at around 11ish! You may be wondering about the candles, I goofed and got an 8 instead of a 9! Dork move on my part! But I used 9 singles instead (hehehe)

Doesn’t that look delicious?!! I didn’t feel like shaving white chocolate so I took a short cut and used white chocolate chips. Both cakes (cheese and red) were made from scratch.

Got the recipe from Erin’s food blog see the link below.

Slumber Party-Hollywood Style

This past Saturday 2/19 my Munchkin turned 11 years old! I’m still trying to wrap my head around that. We started planning her party back in December. She decided she wanted a slumber party with a celebrity/super star theme. So I told her to go research and bring me her ideas. WOW! She came back with a 6 page written plan for her party that included: game ideas, food ideas , diagrams, invitation & goody bag illustrations, and websites for decorations…she had it all planned out!

We got some cool ideas from this blog!

She chose Silver,Black, and Gold for the colors after finding these decorations at Partycity.com

She’d done a Google search to get ideas on how to set up for the party and found these "Popcorn" cupcakes. Too cute, it’s not really Popcorn on top it’s mini marshmallows that you cut cross-wise and spray with yellow food coloring or Wilton  Color Mist in Yellow.

This cupcake wrapper was made with my new favorite Cricut Accessory – Make The Cut software. I LOVE MTC! I will probably never buy another cartridge again! I used Stickles to outline & fill in the stars and 11.

Guess what I used to make this super cute banner?

Right!

Make the cut! Really, this software is Ah-may-zing! If you have a cutting machine!

Most of the decorations I got either on sale, with coupons or at the $1 store!

For the goody bags,I bought plain black paper sacks from Michael’s. I traced and cut out the star shape then glued cut pieces of page protectors inside the bag. I LOVE to embellish so I used a paper trimmer to make the loops on the top of the bag. Munchkin cut out little stars to glue on the outsides and the clapboard tags were made with……….YUP MTC! So was the clapboard on the balloon center piece and the front door.

The party was hit, the girls had a fun, there was pillow fighting, boy talk, movie watching, whip cream smearing, a hi fashion show and they designed their own T-shirts. They were 10 girls in all and they were all very well behaved.

The Pookie Doo has started planning her 7th birthday  with a Pinkalicious theme! Her Bday is in September so this is going to be FUN! My orders were, “Mommy, EVERYTHING has to just be PINK!”

*Sigh* I love planning parties!

Welcome to “Da Hood” & Happy Birthday Too!

This month is my Mommy’s birthday! I NEVER know what to get her and she never tells me what she’d like. We both LOVE The Cheesecake Factory’s cheesecake so I thought I’ll send her a gift card to zip over to Barnes & Noble and get herself a slice. 

Here is a view of the inside.  I do adore Imaginisce Birthday Bash Collection I’ve used the heck out what papers I did have. They are great for making celebratory cards, layouts, decorations and more! I give it an A+

Here I used the same collection to make a card for my cousin who is expecting her fist child, who is a boy. I am very excited for her and Ryene and I had too much fun shopping for the gift. Being that this is her first baby I thought she should be welcomed into the “da Hood” :Motherhood: I know, genius0-Right?!

a view of the inside. Martha Stewarts Loop border punch is probably my 2nd fav after treading water.

Happy BELATED Birthday

to me! I finally scrapped a picture taken of me on my 31st birthday blowing out the candles on my cake. The best thing about it is my daughter took the picture and I think she did a great job capturing the moment

TFL!
