Her video was for mini balloon columns so I adjusted my sizes to make this one.

I love balloon decorating.

Gender Reveal Party Invitations

I'm throwing a gender reveal party for my friend Marie at the end of the month.  She sent me a picture of printable invitations available on Etsy and I used the theme to create my own version.

I used my Cricut to cut images using sweet treats cartridge.

I printed the "What's in the Oven?" onto yellow card stock. 

I printed the inside details using Microsoft Word.  I stamped some yellow using Stampin UP Swirly Bird stamp set for additional color. 

They stand up easily.  

I used circles embossing folder to give extra dimension to the cup cake wrapper. 

I hope she enjoys the party.  Boy or Girl what will it be…  you'll have to check back later to see!

Wedding Shower Decorating

I found these tree pieces and metal letters at Mckinney trade days.  Total cost $1.50 each. 

We hung some on a tree (next post) and other were placed in front of the flowers. 

This is a photo backdrop made from plastic table cloths and tule.

Mothers Day Tea Tables

Every Year I host two tables at an assisted livings mothers day tea.  Here are the two tables My mother and I sponsored this year. 

For the centerpiece on this table I used books, gloves, a metal basket filled with apples, a garden tin from my house and fresh flowers in a metal tin.  For the placemats I just cut burlap.  The napkin rings are TP rolls with Crimped paper and I clipped a flower to ti for color.  

This was our garden table.  We had garden hats for each guest (dollar tree) and the napkin rings had clip on flowers that the ladies clipped to their hat ribbon.  

For the gift bags we added glued seed packets to the front of a small lunch bag. The guest at this table said they felt like they were at a garden party. 

For the Luau  table we got creative. And used lots of items from the Dollar Tree including,  dish drying pads for the placements, pink flamingo wine glasses, leis (3/$1), paper pineapple and hawaiian girl.   

The napkin rings were made from TP rolls covered with crimped paper.  I just glued a pink flower on top to give some color.  For a little gift we filled colorful takeout containers with mints and chocolate. 

I used two of my house plants, my surfboard cutting board, and misc. mixed china.  The guest at this table described it as "a really fun party" 

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Balloon Arch

This is a balloon arch I made for the baby shower.  I made the base using PVC pipe with Repair Couplings to help with the arch.  My husband made a cement base with a piece of pipe (used as a sleeve)  large enough to hold the PVP pipe.  It took about 1 hour to put together and the base is reusable.

Justin's Birthday Treat Boxes

I made these boxes for my son's 17th Birthday.  We celebrated by taking him and 7 of  his best friends out to dinner.  I made each guest a Treat Box with a variety of pictures of the Birthday Boy at different ages.  They were a huge hit and fun conversation starter.  

The boxes were super simple to make.  I made a basic square box using a 5 1/2" X 10 1/2" piece of black card stock.  I scored the short side at 2 1/2", 5", 7 1/2" and 10".  I scored the long side at 3".  I cropped a variety of pictures at 2 1/4" x 2 3/4" and taped them to the front.  I filled the boxes with candy and lotto tickets.  I placed the box in a cello bag and tied a bow.  

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Birthday Baby Bishop
