A Beautiful Birthday Celebration

Hand Written Invitations, Fine China, a Personal Chef and a Sweet Fabulous Birthday Girl. This could not describe anything other than Christi Bennett from P is for Party. She recently celebrated her birthday in pure perfection. I am so inspired by her impeccable taste and her keen eye for details. I just had to share.

It's My Party!

I was so honored to be asked by Becca of Birthday Girl to be a guest blogger. So what better to blog about than a Birthday, My Birthday!

I used the colors of Orange, Yellow and Turquiose from the July Issue of Oprah as my inspiration. Go check out the entire post here.

Fleur de lis Bridal Shower

I love so many bloggers and there are several that I must read daily for inspiration. So when one of my favorite bloggers, Michelle from Maddycake Muse asked me to create her sister's bridal shower, I was floored. She is such a creative savvy person and just to think that she totally put her trust in me to make her sister's day special brought the biggest compliment and smile ever.

Unfortunately, Michelle and I received a shock when her sister announced that she was getting married in May. So the shower that I was planning and the wedding that Michelle was planning was no longer.

But who can deny true love! Read the story of Michelle's sister here.

Any who, Since the shower would have been yesterday and I loved the inspiration board that I created I thought I would share it with you. So enjoy!
