Baby Froehle Shower

my lil sister J is having a baby!! i recently had the pleasure of planning her baby shower and wanted to show you all the details. whenever i am starting to plan an event i make an inspiration board with ideas pulled from the dandy internet. i start by discussing with the host what they are looking for; theme & colors, etc. for J, she was really open to whatever as long as i incorporated her colors + elephants. (l♥v having creative power) here's her inspiration board...

from here i went into plan & design mode.

thanks to Nicole here are some pictures from the shower...

hope you enjoyed your shower J! i loved planning it!

thank you to Mom, A & N for hosting!!

yummy treats!

for my beautiful cousin's grad party i made these fun rice krispie pops!

they were very easy to make and didn't take me very long

(i made 43; i was aiming for 50 but a few just didn't make it, in under 2 hrs)

i got the idea here and just made a few tweaks to the recipe = yum!!

animal party

for my godson's fifth birthday party, i was asked to create the kids take home goodies. i had only 2 objectives:  animal theme & to stay within a budget of $30.  i decided on making a treasure box for each with a different animal and to personalize it with their name.

 

i wanted to keep it fun so i drew with colored pencils in a cartoon sort of style on paper mache boxes.

each box contained; animal crackers, a few animal tattoos, 2 stretchy lizards, a "grow" animal, an animal card game, an animal figure, and a hippo cup with a giant gummy snake.

the kids loved them (and i met my objectives)!! they were a success! hooray for another wonderful party, happy fifth birthday my terrific nephew!

brought to you by the letter A and the number 1

to celebrate ayden's first birthday i could think of no better way then to do so in a sesame street kind of way. ayden loves sesame! and yes it's because he watches it on tv (shame on me). so instead of focusing on his favorites, which seem to be cookie monster and ernie, i decided to do an over all theme.

           

for the kids i made take home treat buckets. they were sand buckets with a character painted face and the shovel personalized with their name. each bucket had; play dough, bubbles, stickers, cookie monster cookies, goldfish crackers, a rubber ducky, and crayons.

  

there were also take home candy treats; "dorothy" (swedish fish), "slimey" (gummy worms) and "abby's magic wands" (rock candy sticks).



for the menu we had pizza slices, an elmo fruit face platter, veggie tray, chips, monster cookies, and ernie, zoe, cookie monster and grover cupcakes.

    

ayden had a personal smash cake who was no other than cookie monster himself! he was a little overwhelmed with the birthday song singing but quickly got over it when he realized he got to play in his cake. the kids enjoyed watching him smash and even dug in a little too.

ayden had the best time with all his loved ones and momma really enjoyed planning and throwing this party for her special lil guy! so much so that i really would like to get into party planning!!
