Purple and Gold Wedding Inspiration Board

Recently I had the pleasure of completing an inspiration board for a close friend. Her sister is getting married and in the excitement of her day, I wanted to develop a visual for her. Check out the board below.

Glittered Safari Animals Centerpiece

 I completed the glittered safari animals for the Zoo Crew Baby Shower. I think they turned out pretty well. I'm excited about it! Check out the before and after pictures. I told you the steps I was following from the previous post here. It took me approximately 2 1/2 days. Mostly because of drying time and my work schedule. I suspect that you could probably finish this in 3 steps over 2 days. 

 I started with a grey plastic elephant, Hippo and Giraffe from the dollar section of Michael's

I used blue and green paint for plastic(purchased at Michaels) and painted the entire animal the same color as the glittered paint that I used.

 Then I sprayed them with Krylon glitter paint. Followed by Krylon clear sealant. 

Next I drilled a small hole in the bottom (slightly off centered due to the face portion of the animal being top heavy) of the animal and put a wooden dowel in the bottom. 

 Target typically sells the buckets for 2.50. I placed 2 foam squares from the dollar tree at the bottom of the bucket. I also got the grass from the dollar tree and stuck it into the green foam squares.

Check out the finish product below. I think this is the beginning of a great centerpiece.  

Shark Birthday Party

So I went on a Pinterest fest with my friend last year while she planned her son's Shark Party. It was so fun. I loved it. I wanted to share with you the results of the party from this Pinterest Board. It think it's always fun to see how what you pin turns into a party. My friend did all of the details on her own and I think she did a great job. 

Look at that slide in the back. Fabulous!!!

Love the cake. Matched the invitations perfectly. The invitations came from 

Zoo Crew Chevron Baby Shower Invitation

I recently completed the Zoo Crew Chevron Baby Shower Invitation. I wanted to make something very simple but remain with the theme and the feel of the shower. I got the free Chevron template from TLT Panel and the free elephant silhouette from Karen Whimsy. I wanted to add a little sparkle because I plan on bringing sparkle to the shower. Check it out!

DIY Glittered Animals

So in the last post I mention that I was going to attempt to do the glittered animals on my own to save money on the Zoo Crew Baby Shower. I went on a google search because of course I had no idea how to do this. I found a couple of blogs giving detail DIY glittered animal instructions. Check out the glittered animals that Kelly and Olive did below.

Office Baby Shower-Zoo Crew

We are having another Office Baby Shower. I really love to do these because I like to show that office parties can be fabulous too! I have previously done 2 office parties here and here and I recently did the office Christmas Party(unfortunately no pics). 

A co-worker that I have known for the pass seven years got married last year and is now expecting her first child. I couldn't think of a more deserving person to throw a shower for. This one is going to be a surprise because she would never let us do it any other way. 

So I have secretly found her registry to get some ideas of her style and what would be perfect for a shower. Below is her babies bedding-Zoo Crew by Just Born. I think that this is the most perfect simple theme and the colors are to die for.  Check it out below.

I love the minimalistic modern zoo theme. It really speaks to her personality as well. She is not a fussy person and pretty much stays to herself.

So of course I had to create an inspiration board as I did for the two previous showers. I love the thought of using Chevron in Navy blue and incorporating sparkly animals. I'm going to try to do this myself. Wish me luck!

Personalized Christmas Gifts

I am totally looking forward to Christmas this year. I have found some great gifts for some close friends that gives that personal touch. 

I just love the bangle bracelets from Frosted Willow. They are to die for! The fact that she can do them in 14 K gold filled and Sterling silver is even better. Check out some of her designs. I love the one for the bride to be or even for an anniversary.

I found this personalized mini I pad case at Zazzle. How fun is this!

Finally, you can't beat this I phone case from Shutterfly
