{Featured Party} Knights and Princesses

Today's featured party comes from party-planners and tutu makers, Two Bees Tutus and Events. They hosted a Knights and Princesses birthday party for a sweet little girl, Sophia. They used the most beautiful decor items such as pink chandeliers, fireplaces, & ornate photo frames! They said most of their decor came from HomeGoods, one of my favorite stores. The princesses got a dress with tutu, crown, and makeup & the knights got a shield and stick horse. Take a look at this amazing party!

Noah's Pirate Bathroom

I realized today that I hadn't shown you the pictures of Noah's new pirate bathroom decor. We got it done right before Noah's birthday, but the pictures got lost in the mix of parties, Easter, and vacation. Sam did all the hard work, I just had the vision (which is the way it usually seems to work out). :) Arrr, matey's, enter at ye own risk!

the sign on the door (spooky, huh?)

the view from the door

Our bathroom before was done in an ocean theme, so I already had the navy/white striped shower curtain. I just removed the shower rings and tied the curtain on with pieces of red rope. We also already had the blue wooden ship wallpaper. We had the rope trim at the top of the wallpaper there also. The treasure box was a gift from Sam's mom for my classroom. It now houses Noah's bath supplies and toys. I bought the blue and white towels at Walmart and had them monogrammed at Me and Mommy to Be.

the other corner of the room

The ship wheel mirror was a purchase from the beach long ago. I found the small square canvas pirate prints at Home Goods on sale for $5 each (woo-hoo!) The two adorable Ahoy Sailor prints were a 1st birthday gift for Noah from Aunt Jenny & Aunt Heather. We added new stainless steel hardware that I love.

the new light fixture

Ever since we moved into our house, I have very much disliked the gold fixtures in the bathrooms. So, I was thrilled to add this new one. I think it looks like lights in a boat. :)

the painted wall & border

We (umm, I mean...Sam) painted the bathroom a "happy red" and we picked the cutest pirate border at Lowe's for the top.

Noah brushing his teeth in his new bathroom.

Shiver me timbers, our tour is through. Tell me what ye think & tell me no lies...or ye walk the plank! {Sorry, couldn't resist the pirate lingo! :)}

NEW Color & Font Choices for the Shop

I have recently had some customers who purchased my party designs, but wanted a color change. So, I decided to make a color chart & font chart to make it easier for them and for me. Silly me...I thought this would be an easy task, but being the OCD type, I have now spent several hours perfecting these 2 little charts. I had fun coming up with names for all the colors and fonts. :) So, here they are.

What do you think?

{Featured Party} Through the Woods

Today's featured party comes from Katie at From Passys to Parties. She hosted an amazingWoodland 1st birthday party for her son, Sawyer. A LOT of hard work went into this adorable party and it immediately caught my eye. She uses natural elements like wooden stumps, signs, & trees to make everything look so inviting. Take a look at the pictures below, then hop over to her blog for more pics and details.
