the oscars – a birthday celebration

After a funfilled day at the beauty salon {All About Me Kids Salon}, we began our preparations for the Oscar Party…a red carpet welcomed our guests into the “celebrity zone”.  We adorned our guest with homemade cupcakes, chocolate covered strawberries, an assortment of gourmet popcorn, pizza, meyer lemon drops, and fizzies {for the kids}…FUN!!!

Resources I used:

~ red carpet – red material from JoAnn’s Fabrics {currently going out of business in Dublin, but relocating!!}

~ cupcake decorating – ideas inspired by my cupcake making class, Let’em Eat Cake in Livermore

~ meyer lemons – my tree in the backyard!!!

~ Oscar decor – idea from Hostess with the Mostess; btw, I did try the White Lady Martini, and it is GOOD!!!

~ Oscar bingo – How About Orange blogsite

~ Oscar ballet - The Academy of Motion Pictures Website

~ party supplies – Party City in Dublin

~ on-line invites – My Punchbowl

happy birthday!!!

celebrating 75 years

Recently I was asked to put together a 75th birthday party announcement for Lorraine…. To just provide the intended guests with a “plain jane” announcement with party details would have not done this wonderful lady’s justice for all that she has accomplished throughout her 75 years….so, I got together with her daughter, Liz, and we started to rummage through her past and present….finding old photos that needed to scanned and slightly restored…finding memories that were once forgotten. Each historical image was a story to be told and everyone coming to the party NEEDS to hear Lorraine’s wonderful stories!!! So I’ve put together an accordian card announcment providing a wonderful timeline of Lorraine’s 75 years….this is just a peek….more to come later….
