When you have a friend who LIVES for and has a craft loving friend like me, she gets a bouquet of custom blinged out diet cokes and red roses for her birthday! I saw this idea recently and decided to tackle it for the one and only for her birthday yesterday! I love flowers but I might love flowers and unusual elements like this even more! It’s the little “extras” that make people feel special and this was a HIT! Happy birthday Emily! Love ya more than Diet Coke!!

Our sweet little Labubu, Little Miss Betsy, turned 7 this weekend! She is hilariously funny, full of fire, and equally as gentle and loving as they come! She requested a Labubu themed birthday party, and though these darling little monsters are EVERYWHERE, party supplies and decor are nowhere to be found! So, I got creative and I just love the finished product! She just wanted a small group of close friends and requested a sweet party in our front yard. I designed and cut out tons of labubus, laminated them and used them in various spots! The designed a custom Happy Birthday Banner and printed 36” labubus to decorate the bounce house from The custom invitations I designed were a HUGE HIT! These are definitely going into the Spring Collection at The showstopper was the GIANT Labubu piñata! It was sooooo big - even taller than the Birthday Girl! Happy Happy Birthday my sweet girl! #

You are magical!!! Tucked away near the Red Rocks of Sedona, AZ hides the sweetest and most beautiful winery and event venue! I was privileged to be able to design, plan and execute a wedding at DA Ranch in the Spring! Everything was in bloom, the air was crisp and fresh and the love in the air was thick!!! It was my sisters wedding which makes the work even more special!!! There were tons of personal touches that were so special! Here are just a few - 1. a custom wood carved table top that guests signed with love and well wishes 2. Custom signage as you entered the ranch to match all of the custom paper goods I designed 3. A beautiful custom wedding arch made by our dad (he passed two years after her wedding and this arch still stands in her backyard as a reminder of him and her special day) 4. Custom cut wood pedestals cut by our uncle from the land we played on as little girls up in the mountains of flagstaff There were so many amazing elements and being a party of my sissy’s big day was just a dream!

What an amazing night at it was… It was PURE MAGIC under the Tucson stars for my clients. The “wrap party” to close their annual Conference was a huge hit! With attendees that come from all over the world, it only seemed fitting to have a Tucson-themed fiesta featuring delicious southwest cuisine, gorgeous blooms paired with succulents, a churro truck for sweet treats and the most incredible Mariachi Band ever!! knocked it out of the park with the gorgeous florals! was on point with the custom made signage featuring handmade paper flowers and the custom s’mores station was busy all night! Hand rolled ci**rs were a fun surprise and the Flamenco Dancers were so exciting to watch! I love a good theme party and the setting in the Catalina Mountains was just perfect!

This probably comes as a surprise, but this extremely creative household always has a hard time committing to Halloween costumes for Halloween. The girls wait till the very last minute because they just can’t decide what they want to be! This year, Maggie had her first big Halloween party with friends and really wanted a cute teen appropriate costume. She searched Pinterest for days and finally decided she wanted to be a black-and-white French-Inspired clown! Maggie just left for her first boy/girl Halloween party with her friends. We found a cute ruffled collared crop top and sewed a big black bow at the collar and added pom-Poms. Then, we found darling black ruffled bloomers. We got some white stockings with bows and paired it with black converse and black and white gingham ribbon laces. At the last minute, I made her a custom clown hat. I painted some stripes and added Pom Poms. Look how darling it turned out! She loves it so much!!! it’s the first time in a long time she’s loved a Halloween costume and I think she just looks tres chic! Now… onto Miss Betsy! 🤣

There’s nothing quite like the unconditional love of a dog! And, when you love furry friend more than life itself, there’s no bones about it, a Puppy Party is sure to be a tail-wagging great time! When I was asked to help her create a Paw-tastic party for a very special four-legged friend, I un-leashed all of my creative dreams and designed something to really howl about! Pet Parties are something we are seeing a lot in the events arena, and we all know there is no expense spared for our furry friends. We loved it all: the custom invitations, the specialty cocktails, the custom puppy treat station takeaway favors, the personalized place settings featuring portable pet bowls… It was a day full of belly rubs and tails wagging!
