Royal Baby Shower

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of decorating a baby shower for my Best Friend Tamika. The smile on her and Stephens face was priceless. Enjoy some of the pictures below. 

 The Dessert Buffet

 One of the activties before the guest of honors arrived. We decorated an Alphabet Book for the baby. We had some very creative pages. It got very serious..people were searching the web for words. 

We also had a Royal Wishing Tree with paper baby carriages and pacifiers

Mike and Ike Monster Invitation

Another Year has quickly gone by. For me that just means its time to celebrate by son's birthday again. I look forward to this every year. We have moved to not having a big birthday bash every year to now every other year. So this year, I get to do the Monster Glow in the Dark Golf Party that he has so been wanting. My plan is to keep it visually nice but simple. 

The invitations go out today. I alway send them out one month in advance to give people plenty of notice and time. We all have very busy and hectic lives so advance planning is a must. 

For the Invitations, I saw a Halloween blog post from Jamie at eighteen25 and knew that this was perfect for Bailey's Invitations!
I purchased my sons favorite candy…Mike and Ike from Peep and Co .What better one to get than the Mummy Mix! I made a Chevron invitation(another DIY MS Word Creation) the size of the box and used twine to hold it in place. Then I attached plastic vampire teeth in the party colors.

These invitaitons don't have to be mailed. They are going to all of his school friends.
Check them out below.

You've Been Paroled-Law Enforcement Retirement Party

I had the pleasure of doing a few decoration for a Retirement Party. It was for a women that I have worked with for 8 years. 

Since we are Parole Officers, the theme You've Been Paroled seem to be very fitting.

She is also very known for her huge Afro, so I knew that this would be the perfect Silhouette to utilize on all of the paper goods.

The Centerpieces were reused boxes used here and here. I just wrapped them and added some tissue paper and our agency seal and badge. 

All materials were found at the Dollar Tree. I also found black Ball and Chains at the Dollar Tree and spray painted them Metallic Gold. 

The Guest of Honor decided to come in as an inmate about to be paroled. This was a hit! 

 Wishing Tree was a big hit and a nice entrance detail. I go this manzanita tree from efavormart.com.
