monkey baby shower

The pictures are in from the Five Little Monkeys baby shower I threw. Check them out on my creative blog.

New Endeavor

Most of you know I use to own a wedding decorating business when I lived in WA. Well since moving and having kids I had to let that go due to lack of time and taking advantage of family for babysitting. I've really missed the creative part of that and after some consideration am starting a new business. This is a party decor kinda thing. Things I can make here at home and mail out to people. It's called "Positively Perfect" and I'll be doing custom orders for birthdays baby showers, bridal showers, etc. I've got my blog up and you can take a look at some things I've been doing and better description of things you can get. It is still early so I haven't got a lot of pictures yet but should with in this next month or two since I'm doing 4 parties. So take a look and pass the word on to friends and family. I'm so excited to get this going!

Twilight Bash (literally)

I loved the Twilight series the first, second, and third time i read it. And so to honor the book I had a Twilight movie night with a few other fellow fans. I have to say of course I like the movie but as with all book to movie comparisons it just didn't match up. It was so fun to be together and compare notes on our likes and dislikes of the movie as well as all the parts we loved in the book. I got great inspiration and ideas from one of my most favorite sites, Hostess with the Mostess.

I placed these great quotes around the room (not my picture, mine came out really blurry)

Labeled our red drinks with these great labels

Of course had to have party favors, I like to call them Twilight bites.

And a large amount of candles for mood lighting.

The gang settled in to enjoy the show. (had to get two shots to get everyone in)

Sorry again Lynne, Merideth and Rachelle. They hadn't seen the movie before and this probably wasn't the best way to introduce it to them. We all talked pretty much the whole way through the movie about what was happening, what should have happened, what we thought would happen in the next one, etc. etc. etc.
I hope you'll still at least want to read the books after this. I had a great time putting this together and am so thankful for such great friends to share it with. Thanks for coming all!
