I was lucky enough to create some pretty special cake-pops in the last week or two!  Meaghan, who's graduation invites and 18th birthday pops you may have seen in earlier posts, had her Graduation party last week.  The graduation cake was the centerpiece, so I needed to come up with two accent bouquets. Thanks Minnie for another fun project, and I can't believe Meaghan is going to college... congrats!

The second order was a first for me.  Rich asked me to make some "fun" centerpieces for his son and daughter-in-law (to be) for their rehearsal dinner. Keith is a teacher and baseball coach, while Courtney is a cheerleaing coach and middle school teacher.  Rich wanted to incorporate the bride and groom's school colors into the bouquets, so I played around until I came up with these!  Congrats newly-weds, and thanks for trusting me with such a special occasion Rich!

I was also put to the test this week to make "Toy Story" themed favors for Johnny to share with his party guests.  "Mr. Potato Head" and
"Evil Dr. Porkchop" made their 1st appearance in my kitchen!  Let me know what you think!  Thanks Angela and Andria, and Happy birthday Johnny!

Finally, I was honored to make some summer-time floral bouquets for my Aunt-Joan's party.  She is fun, cheerful, and sprinkles her positive energy around from person tp person all the time!  She is an inspiration to me, and definitely my crafty partner in crime! :) Love ya AJ!!

I have been working hard to try and find a healthy balance between work, creating fun projects and filling orders, family, friends, and working out.  I think I am getting there!  I will post pictures of last week's projects as well as the next week or two soon!  In the meantime... keep those ideas coming! Love the feedback... :)

This week was all about the "end", or a new "beginning".  Randi had me create a cute "end" of the year bouquet for Molly to bring in to her 3 teachers for a thank you gift.  I decided to go with apples and ABC's for the Preschool theme.  Kelly had the idea for her daughter's "end" dance recital to create themed pop bouquets to thank the dance teachers for their hard work (rather than traditional flower bouquets).  Congrats on a great Recital at Elgin High School ladies!  And Kitty, Bonnie, and Chrissy asked me to make small centerpieces for Grace and Ken's baby shower.  So cute and elegant for their little girl who will be arriving soon! A new "beginning"!  Here are some pictures of the final products, enjoy!

So much going on at the end of the school year!! Mr. Keehn's retirement, Meaghan's 18th birthday, TJ's Graduation party, Lola's dance recital, Open House pops, and I wanted to try a Minnie Mouse design for fun. Here are some pictures.  I would love to hear your feedback!  I would love to make some paper crafts in the near future. I love to make invitations, party favors and center-pieces. Let me know if you are interested! Make sure to check out my Monthly Promotions page to see what the deals are for June.

I had some new orders to keep me on my toes this week too! The theme of surfing, video-gaming, nurse was linked into a centerpiece a well as spreading my wings to make sugar cookie favors in the shape of footballs. I also ws able to create some adorable letter or baby- block themed table centerpieces for a shower. Fun stuff, and I made it through the week! :)
