Bee Theme Baby Shower

I really enjoyed putting together this baby shower decor!! The mom to be announced the sex of the baby at the shower. So I tried to keep it very neutral....didn't want it to be too girly or too boyish!

Candy Shop Theme Birthday Party

So my daughter turned the BIG 7!!! We love doing parties, coming up with ideas, and having all of her friends over for a grand ole' time. This year we went with a candy shop theme. I am not big on letting my kids indulge in a lot of sweets....so this was going to be something fab for them. I told them that they could have as much candy as their little hearts desired! The party was super budget friendly....most of everything was in my craftroom. Okay....here are the pics

This was her invitation. Very simple yet theme related! They were loved by her guests and whats even better everything I needed for the invite was in my craftroom. Not a single dime was spent to make these.

I have been extremely busy and have been neglecting my blog!! My husband is in the Navy and he had to do an urgent leave!!!! Then I went to the doc for a checkup and ended up having to get two pints of blood and have surgery! And million other things were going on. So I am vowing right not to keep my blog updated!!!! SN: I am just horrible with blogging! But I WILL do better!! So I am going to post all of the things I have worked on since my last blog post!! Hope everyone is doing well and is enjoying this holiday season!!

Barbie Party

Helloooo friends!!!! Okay so a couple weeks ago I did some decor for a Barbie Party. I made cupcake toppers, favor tags, and a door sign!! The colors were hot pink, black, and white! Pink is my most favorite color so I was pretty giddy while working on everything. I added some sparkle and bling to everything also. Here are some pics.

For the Barbie image I used my Cricut Mini and the Forever Young Cartridge.

Here are a few pics of the decor at the actual party.

I also spruced up her card envelope!

Well...thats all I have for you!! Let me know what you think!!

Until next time....

Flocking Powder

Okay so once upon a time I was in Wal-Mart and they had something called flocking powder on sale for 20 cents. Me being the crafter I am just had to have some. I had absolutely no clue what it was or how to use it. I think I purchased it like a year ago! Well today.... I was sitting here thinking of how I could add details to some cotton candy I cut out. Well first I thought of glitter bc I have tons and tons of glitter that I never use!! As girly I am and the mother of two girls you would think I'd glitter everything. So anyway.....i kept thinking to myself that I needed something soft and fuzzy!!! Then it hit me....the flocking powder!!! Lets just say I am in love. But now I have to go out and find some blue, for my blue cotton candy! Here is a pic....I think I did a pretty good job for my first time using it!! Tell me what you think!
