Halloween Fun!

I am not into the scary Halloween decorations so I thought I would show you some fun and festive decor for this October 31st holiday!

A candy buffet can take the place of your traditional bowl of candy.

Your pumpkin carving fun can double as a ice or drink bucket.

I love this drink station above, it is the perfect mix of creepy and creative.

Grab your extra voltive candles and a bottle of black puffy paint for these DIY candles.

Trick-or-Treaters will love receiving these cute bags
filled with anything from candy to a tooth brush.

Wise Old Owl...

I just wanted to share a little advice from a wise old owl....if you want to be treated like a professional in any workplace then you need to act like one. Working on many weddings and events I have seen many vendors come and go. If you want to be put on someones recommended vendors list then you need to work to the best of your ability, be on time, be courteous, and put others above yourself. As our Mothers have taught from early on," treat others how you want to be treated". It is as easy as speaking kindly, going the extra mile and admitting and apologizing if you make a mistake. As my husband always says," You get more from Sugar than you do with Vinegar". Thanks and happy working....-xoxo

White Trash Party

This past July I threw Ian, his Mother, and our Brother-In-Law a White Trash Party!
This style party was kind of hard for me to plan because I am used to planning nice, pretty, perfect, organized, clean, and well decorated parties and this was exactly the opposite.... Most of the decor items came from the Dollar Tree, 99 cent stores, and thrift shops!

Our lovely Guests

My Family

Refreshments

Me my Man

The birthday boy

We had a sunflower seed spitting contest, guess the boys butt contest,bottle cap between the butt cheeks relay race, beer pong, King and Queen of the trailer park contest and a lot more fun stuff for all our guests to feel right at home!!! We had fun, laughed a lot, and made a ton of memories!!

Orange and Blue Beach Theme Baby Shower

This Baby Shower
was such a fun shower to plan
not only because I planned it with my
Sister-in-Law
for our Sister-in-Law, but
also because of the theme and color palette.

This Orange and Blue Beach Theme Baby Shower
is a perfect shower theme for the Mother-to-be that loves the beach and is also expecting a Summer Baby!

We draped yards of orange fabric over the nautical theme tables,
and had fish bowls with blue rocks, sea shells and goldfish as the centerpieces!

Finding beach theme items for decor was easy being that it is June!

The dessert buffet was full of colorful cupcakes and candy for the guests to enjoy!

Our cupcake flags were inspired by boat sails
which we then embellished with sea creatures.

Our drink station featured all sorts of orange and blue drinks
along with a signature orange slush as the arrival drink garnished with a orange and mini umbrella!

The drink labels
(created by my Sister-in-Law are one of my favorite DIY decor items of the party!

The food for this shower was inspired by all sorts of childrens favorites such as...

"Ants on a log"
(which are celery. peanut butter, and raisins)

"PB & J Sliders"

"Celery and Carrot dippers "
with a Ranch dipping sauce
