The Celebration Shoppe
For our recent ice cream social party collection shoot with Angie Arthur Photography, I whipped up a simple and fun DIY ice cream cone balloon craft that’s just perfect for summer! I used a Balloon Time Tank, polka dot balloons and party hats (why try to make a cone with scrapbook paper when you can pick up party hats already assembled!) from Target, …
We shot our new Splash Bash collection last Tuesday at a local splash pad (free water park with huge sprinklers, water guns and bucket water falls). We had eight models ranging in age from 4 to 12 (because let’s face it, there is no age limit on water fun), over 100 water balloons, lots of snacks, and some …
Wow has this week gone by in a blur! We had a new collection shoot on Tuesday (sharing the invitation next week), I’m prepping for my youngest son’s fifth birthday party this weekend (last year’s was the dino-ROAR), I’m working on giving my girl here {my blog} a face lift, and I now have images to share from our …
I ran across Lisa Storms blog this morning and just fell in love with these simply and clever DIY party ideas for the 4th of July! You already know I love crepe so the little ruffle vase is just too cute, but it’s probably the “let freedom ring” that got me. And she did all …
I mentioned on twitter and facebook last Friday that my boys were hosting a mini-luau playdate for their friends. That’s right! They worked on the decorations, “cleaned” the windows and put the cushions out on the deck. (They’re only six and four so it was really sweet to see them care so much about the appearance of things before their …
With a fabulous Father’s Day weekend behind me and a busy, and maybe slightly hectic, week in front of me (new collection shoot tomorrow and my son’s fifth birthday party this weekend), I thought I would start the week off with a shot of my very favorite cold dessert. There is nothing like a heaping serving of …
With Daddy’s Day (that’s what my boys call it) this weekend we’re looking for fun ideas to say “I LOVE YOU DAD!” and these are just a few of the fun and inspiring Father’s Day gift ideas that I found around the web. Father’s Day Subway Art via A Proffittable Life (free download available in …
I love the idea of sitting down to a party with a little treat already at arms length, because let’s face it, young or old, it’s difficult to be so close to so many treats and wait. {wink} So for our recent art party collection I worked with my cookie partners at Sweet Tooth Cottage to create …
I actually planned to show you more of our recent art party photo shoot today, until I received this fabulous mad scientist party from our customer, Cindy. She and the birthday boy, Hayden, planned this party together for almost a year. In her words, “Hayden loves science and wanted his friends to enjoy some fun science …
I really enjoy receiving pictures from customers. It just makes my day to see those happy little faces and all the smart details the parents pull together. Just recently we received a note from our customer, Jen. She wrote “Thank you so much for the ideas and inspiration! From the invitations to the how-to tulle napkin rings, my daughter’s …
