Pictures Sharing Time: Transportation Themed Party

I know that I say this maybe too many times but I LOVE receiving pictures from my customers. I think that's is considered as the BEST feedback ever. The fact that they take the time to send me pictures of their special days, it really means the world to me.

It is the reason I keep doing what I do. 

So without further a due, here are pictures I received from my client in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. With her permission, I'm pleased to share these with you.

Woodland Fairy Birthday Party

Over a month ago, I posted one of my latest projects where my regular client from Germany pulled two party themes (Fairy and Woodland) from my shop and made them into one theme: Woodland Fairy, for her daughter's 5th birthday party. That is one great theme for a girl's party, I concurred.

Since the first time we discussed this project (the back and forth messages on the little details and yes we both are so detailed oriented gals!), I have already had this giddy feeling that I could not wait to have everything completed and see the end project.

I recently received pictures of these adorable items in action at Zoe's party, displayed to decorate every part of her party. I have a big smile the whole time I look at the pictures, every single time.  I can't thank her mom enough for sharing pictures....as she always does.

I hope you enjoy in looking at these as much as I do. Be inspired, if you will.

 Hoot Hoot, the owl tent card requested in blank so that she could hand-write the food name.

 

Pretty Personalized Fairy and Woodland Cupcake Toppers with ribbon jazzing up the delicious cupcakes.

She is definitely one creative momma.

 

Here she made fairy star wands and adhere cute fairy stickers in the centre. So sweet!

 
I love the toad stool! 

And oh my, how adorable this ornament is? Adorned with my fox tag as part of the woodland tags she purchased. And more below....

I just feel I'm in the woodland black forest and hanging out with little fairies.

And here, I'm just speechless. Too adorable!
  

Here is the Fairy Centerpiece, personalized it of course, that I made for her is perfect as a Cake Topper.   And the cake itself is a work of art!! Wow.

Want to see more pictures? Take a peek here. I'm sure you want to hang out there a little longer :-)


Thank you for dropping by. Until next time! 

Gnome and Woodland Party

Recently, I had a pleasure working with a client creating a Gnome and Woodland Birthday Party lines such as invitations, cupcake toppers, favor tags, thank you notecards, and a banner.

So much fun, can't you tell? I love how blue, red and pink combined together. It's just feel that I'm creating retro-slash-modern which is a trend nowadays.

By the way, don't forget to enter our current giveaway: Win $25 Gift Certificate.

He is 4

Today my little baby turns 4. No matter how many times he corrects me, "Not baby, mama. I'm a BIG boy," he will always be my baby.

That's him trying to show me his four fingers. How adorable!

I love you, my little man. You makes me smile and laugh. Tonight I asked you if you know what a birthday means. I started to explain it to you that you were on mommy's tummy and then you came out... You quickly asked me, "Mama, where is the door?" LOL. I was speechless and could only laughed.

Yes of course, there are moments that you're a trouble-maker. But still at the end of the day, I still love you so much no matter what.

I could see you were SO happy today: having a little party at the preschool, getting lot of toys from grandparents, aunties and cousins, and visiting Toys R Us to get your Thomas Trains and more. The joy was overwhelming, but in a good way.

Happy Birthday my little man!

Children Storybook Tags

Hope you are enjoying this holiday seasons. I'm surely do, spending time with my family and do a little bit of crafting each day.

I recently made these adorable tags, vintage inspired Children Storybook tags. Beautiful vintage images reproduced, combining the old and the new. These are perfect for baby shower or birthday occassions. I personally will use these tags for my scrapbook album. Being a scrapbooker myself, I definitely do not want to miss out.

Ethan Turning Two

This is a so-belated post of my son's birthday. Ethan turned two in mid of November. We were just so busy and posting these pictures had slipped away from my mind.


We decided not to have a big party as well this year, similar to his first birthday. Afterall, he had no clue about birthdays yet. This year as we are in Canada, we celebrated his 2nd birthday with a simple family dinner with my side of family: my parents, my sister and brother's families. Read about his first birthday here. It was a nice family gathering.

I can't believe he's TWO now. I do get more hugs and kisses as he can understand in showing his emotion :-) but we all know that these smooches won't last too long. As he grows bigger and older, he will be less generous in giving me this kind of affection, so I'll be sure to enjoy this while I can and preserve this in my memory for years to come.

I'm glad I have the opportunity to be a stay-at-home mom for him for these past two years. It gives me the opportunity to see him growing up and achieving his milestones. Happy Birthday, Ethan, my pride and joy!

It's My Birthday!

Yesterday was my birthday! Yes, it falls on a Christmas Eve.

The day started with a nice family lunch at TP Mall, continued with delicious oriental dessert treats such as Mango Pudding and Tofu Pudding in Black Sesame Soup to name a few. Ethan loved that black sesame soup, can't you tell?

When we got home in the afternoon, a delicious chocolate cake was awaiting for me. My good friend came by with the cake wanting to give me a surprise. Unfortunately, we were not home. So sorry I missed her.

In the evening, my hubby and I went for a nice dinner at La Rucola, a Ristorante Italiano. We heard so much about this place and would like to try it out. It has been a while that we haven't gone out just the two of us, enjoying each other's company. So, we ordered a bottle of white wine and as the appetizer, we ordered fresh oysters.

The entrees and dessert were exceptional. Everything, from the food to the atmostphere were great. It feels like the old times just like when we were in Vancouver. For a few hours, we were brought back to a Western culture. When I took the picture below I also caught the owner in action, making sure things were in order :-)
