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!

Rosie Pink Monogramed Pillow

Well I’m making much progress on Pookie Doo’s Pinkalicious room makeover. I am almost ready for the big reveal in a couple of weeks. I can’t wait to share it with you all. But until then here is a pillow I just completed for her bed. I got the pillow idea from Beth at Stories from A to Z. She used ruffled ribbon, I used a ribbon of roses. I love her blog, tons of cool tips, tricks, and ideas. Okay so here’s the pillow!

I used leftover fluff, a travel pillow cover I think it was about $2  and pink rose ribbon from Hobby Lobby I got it 50% OFF! SCORE! The iron on transfer paper I already had.

The finished pillow complete with rosie ruffles and Pookie Doo’s initials. I didn’t get the pink letters to match the roses as  well as I wanted but I couldn’t waste the ink!

Lil PINK & White Desk Re-finished



My Lil E, LOVES herself some  PINK! Any time she gets a choice of which color she wants for an item if it comes in pink-she always choosed pink. Well we've been hunting for a desk for her room for a while now. At first I was thinking of a old skool class room desk like this, I'd paint it pink ofcourse. Then I thought that was to small so I went looking online and found this desk at walmart and thought it wouuld be PERFECT! Well I put off ordering it for whatever reason. The Hubbs was off one Friday and happened upon a yard sale where he found the cutest little desk for $5! I couldn't believe it-either.
So here are the before and afters.

BEFORE

I forgot to take a pic before I started sanding-OOPS!

AFTER

(gotta get two plugs for those 2 holes there)

All I did was sand it down so that there was no shine. This was impossible on the back of the hutch section so I went to my local Home Depot Store and instead of spray paint. I bought a 1 quart of the pink in a semi-gloss and 1 gallon of rhe white paint in a satin WITH primer in it! **genius**

(thought it was clever to paint the inside of the drawers pink)

It's a little more expensive but I'm a Lazy Crafter. I like stuff done quick & easy. So I painted the pink first, taped it off with blue tape then painted the white.

I also changed out the knobs it had long fat wooden ones I thouht these little round ones were cuter. This was my first time re painting a large piece of furniture and now I'm hooked...next on the list...the rest of the girls' room furniture, dinning set, and lawn chairs!

Total desk redo cost around $50!

TFL!
