Adventure Time for Aila

I was so excited to have this awesome party theme thrown my way by a great local mom here in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. Her daughter was adamant about having a party based on the Adventure Time TV show. Mom was having a hard time finding party supplies to go with the theme so she came to me. I made all the graphics for her and a custom cake/cupcakes/marshmallow pops as well. All in all working on this project was a good time. The kids had a ball at the party playing a cool penguin bowling game that they made out of bottles. An awesome face painter and entertainer was there to show the kids an extra fun time as well.  Great party for a great gal, Happy Birthday Aila!

Mod Monkey 1st Birthday

While looking at Project Nursery for nursery ideas, I saw the parties that people were also posting. So, naturally, when my little guy was going to turn 1, I consulted this site again, looking for ideas. For some reason, monkeys have been a theme with him, so I chose to go that route. I liked the “Mod Monkey” theme but instead of buying that party themed decor, I designed everything myself using digital software.

Tinker Bell Baby Shower

“If you close your eyes, you may see a pool of lovely pale colors. If you squeeze them tighter, the pool will take on different shapes, and the colors will become brighter – so bright, that in a moment they’ll go on fire. And in that moment, just before they do, you will see Never Land.” Narrator in Peter Pan (quote found here).  Jodie, my friend and a mom to be, invited me to her Tinker Bell baby shower. Jodie asked me to capture the baby shower so she can have photographs for Sophie’s scrapbook. “Everyone being there was so special,” Jodie said. I can’t wait to meet Jodie’s baby, Sophie!

Gender Revealing Party

We threw a party to announce (and find out ourselves) the gender of our first baby.  (A boy!)  At our 20 week ultrasound, we had the ultrasound tech write on a piece of paper if it was a boy or girl and put it in a sealed envelope with the gender revealing ultrasound pictures.  I quickly took the envelope to a close friend to look inside and order a cake with pink or blue filling.  I’ve heard rumors of people taking the envelope to the bakery without someone looking and the bakery made the wrong colored cake or they lost the envelope, so I had a friend look at it to make sure it was correct.  At the party, I had a betting pool where people could bet $ on the date/time/weight of the baby when he is born.  There was an opportunity for people to vote on the sex and then I drew a name out of the correct boy/girl jar and they won a prize.  I had a couple baby pictures of me and my husband up, my pregnancy journal, and old wives tales on what the gender may be, available for people to read for fun. 

Halloween Boo in the Boonies

We had so much fun putting this one together. Our Boo in the Boonies was a big hit with the toddler crowd and the parents too! There were so many treats to pick from – pumpkin cake with salted caramel buttercream, sugar cookies, cupcakes, Nutella s’mores, apples with caramel dip, pumpkin merengues, popcorn ghosts, and lots and lots of candy! And to keep the little ones busy burning off all of that sugar, we had a pumpkin craft for them to make and they got to take home their very own decorated mini pumpkins. They also got to dance around surrounded by bubbles from the bubble machine.
