Rock Out Forever Party!

 What do you for a girl who loves music and lots of it? Well, a rock out party of course. A previous Halloween costume inspired this party!

the RESERVED area just for the girls...containers are set up with stuff for their art project. I always have an activity for the kids to do at the beginning of the party to allow for all the guests to arrive

these are the SWAG bags that also served as decorations around the food and gift table. Double duty!

some of the artwork that the girls came up with!

our very own VIP - AKA Gwen Stefani Look-a-like!

the food and gift table... see what some paint can do to some dollar store table cloths!

CHEERS to a great group of girls who know how to party!

Ultimate Party Planners Party!

Maya and I had to plan to use her favourite TV shows to come up with her 10th birthday party theme... and so it came together as the "ultimate party planner" birthday party! We combined the Cupcake Theme, Party Planners, Say yes to the Dress and a little from America's Got Talent and came up with a fun 3 hours with 12 girls in the backyard!

 The girls making their special cupcakes to be eaten later on in the party!

They had to decorate their own areas based on themes they picked form a hat... This is the Circus Table! We also had Tea Party and Beach themes for the other tables.

This is a little Mad Hatter at the Tea Party table... they were the 'Best Table Winner' chosen by the all the girls

then the girls had to dress appropriately for their party using tiolet paper and streamers and some props.
Looks like the Mad Hatter will make it after all!

and the crazy Circus lady made an appearance too! This one won the Best Dressed prize!

 

and this was party of the entertainment... these guys won the best Talent award for their beach dance!

Is this not the cutest gift table that you have ever seen? Under that is the ugliest picnic bench ever!

And the gift unveiling turned out the be an event too!

This was a picture of the BEFORE. Cute right! and yes that's a pink lemonade ready for the party guests.

and last but not least some super cute cupcakes made by our very own 'Ultimate Party Planners'
(and I couldn't resist buying the bamboo sporks even though the tacos on our menu didn't call for them)

Smokin Sewing Machine

It's that time of year again... time to get ready for outdoor parties and fun! I've got my fabric all ready to go as well and I just have to get my but in gear and start sewing!

My Pennants at the Park!

Well I finally figured out where my 80 feet of pennants went... if you look closely at the bottom left hand picture you'll see my stuff in the background! Hillier Park Day!

pretty packaging

Check out what I came up with... inside this pretty packed box is over 80feet of celebration pennant going to be displayed at a park opening. I thought they deserved to be packed nicely.

Vintage New England

I found this piece of fabric (actually an old table cloth) weeks ago and was instantly in love with it. I knew I wanted to bring it back to life! My diningroom table is once again a mess, but I made 3 of these pennants with little snippits of New England all over it!

I'm  putting these up on Etsy as a group (I don't think they should be separated) today... so pop over to my Etsy shop and take a look or if you really like them .... get a hold of me! Each pennant has 9 double side flags and is approximately 90" long (that's 7'6"!).

Summerfest

Going to have stuff here with a whole lot of help from the folks at Fusion Creative Collections! Looks for some window art, celebration pennants, and some other fun stuff from me!

Pay Day Party - More fun!

Party goers earn their money at the candy shop - guessing the number of candies, making chocolate dipped rice crispy squares and decorating their very own candy apples!

Other jobs that we up on the JOB BOARD - Clothing designers (we did tie dye shirts), dog walking, candy makers, baby sitting, and gardening (they transferred flowers in to individual pots to take home).

This was the garden area BEFORE the work started!

trains, planes & automobiles

It's official! This is finally for sale at Belle Balloons/Belle Events in downtown Belleville, Ontario! As I stand back, it all feels so colourful and fun, just like I wanted it to end up!

Included in this party-pak is: 1 'use anywhere' bin, 2 celebration pennants, 10 invites and envelopes, 1 set of activity supplies and a game suggestion, 10 loot bags filled with slingshot airplanes (they are so much fun if you've never seen them. but warning, they can go far and land on a roof or two), 10 old fashion candy sticks, 10 cupcake/food toppers...

This pack is made for a party of 10 kids, but I can always add more stuff if you are brave enough to have a bigger party than that! If you bought everything individually, it comes to just under the triple digit mark... but if you do the party-pak, it's $70 and you only have to make one stop!

Summer fun with Bubbles - colourful-days-party-pak

Instructions and supplies for a flying machine

I haven't quite figured out the price point but what would you pay not to run around to search out all these things?
 

Easter Decorations

Celebration pennants decorated our little backyard egg hunt this weekend. I think I was more excited than the kids at how much these transformed the "not yet grown in garden" into a colourful backyard!

Just Married Pennants - New for 2010

Decorate your get-away vehicles with these. I can custom make them to coordinate with your wedding decor or match you vehicle!

Celebration Pennants - Wild West Series

I look at these pennants and I remember my son in his very first big boy bed (bunk beds to be exact). The wild west theme is one he has grown out of, but I love this fabric and held on to the pillowcases for years. I'm glad that they got used somewhere else!

Celebration Pennants - Retro Series 1 and 2

Found materials... the blue and green check is an old table cloth, the blue and green rounds originally came from Towers Department store (still have the cutting label) and I found it a local thrift shop along with the cute little red girl print, the big bold stripes came from an old sheet and the solids are fabric remnants from projects past. 

Celebration Pennants - Insects, Amphibians and Reptiles

These are just some of the newest pieces....

Celebration Pennants

I make these colourful treats from all kinds of scrap fabrics that find their way to my house. Some are from old sheets, table clothes, curtains - some might be an old shirt that was injured - some other interesting remnants are from my many trips to local thrift shops. But when they are all pulled together they make colourful additions to any party, get together or room.
