the oscars – a birthday celebration

Denise Marie Olson — Mon, 14 Mar 2011 16:57:09 +0000

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

With the warm weather approaching, and for some us its already here, our little ones are begging to go to parks, the zoo, or just in our backyards to play, play, and play!! Playdates, and other spontaneous fun-filled adventures are a fun way to gain social interaction for our children. But have you ever been to the park, and your child makes friends with the other children… the other moms realize that you all get together more often, and you go to your purses rummaging through old receipts to use as paper to write down your contact information…only to realize that you don’t have a pen either. Business people have business cards, high school seniors have 411 or rep cards….adults have calling cards…well, kids should have “mommy cards” {daddies too!!}…
These fun little cards are totally custom made….the inspiration is to create adorable little mommy cards, with matching cute greeting cards to announce the beginning of spring!!! Contact me for some playdate fun!!
