What Happened to that fabric?

Remember the POST I did about some fabric I found?? Are you ready to see what I did with it??! My mom and I turned it into a super cute out fit for the birthday girl herself to wear on her special day!!



A pillowcase dress and some funky ruffled pants! I loved the way it turned out! And so did Constance. As soon as she put it on, she went crazy, running all over the place. We didn't have a pattern so I did the designing of the entire outfit to create my own pattern and my mom did the sewing.

my sister-in-law - she doesn't have her own biz of doing this completely yet, but I think she will get more into it!

{Sneak Peek} Dora Fiesta

I so wish I had Constance in like November or December! OR wish that South Carolina would actually become cooler in September. It was sooo hot out on the day of her party, that it seemed like I started to shut down. I love to do things outside, and the heat just wasn't helping. But we are grateful that the skies were clear and there was sunshine. Our first birthday party got rained out and ruined. 

Here is a sneak of the birthday girl in her coordinating party colors.


Stay tuned for more details........

Halloween Collection

The Halloween Collection I showed you a sneak peek of a week or so ago, is FINALLY completed and up in my shop. So sorry for the delay. Juggling a full time job (outside of my creativeness) and running a home bakery and Party design shop can REALLY keep me busy! Even though I love my kids at my pre-school, I gotta keep it up as my goal is to be a stay-at-home mom and work from home once again and eventually open my own cupcake and design shop (like actual store front) :-)




And I also managed to design a really cute boy and girl Halloween design.
Stay tuned for that later this week!!!!

Wow Wow Wubbzy Cake

Whew! What a weekend! The Dora fiesta is over and was such a blast! The weekend was crazy though. I took a half day off work on Thursday and all day off on Friday to work on stuff. And along with all the party planning, I took a cake order as well as a custom order for some designs for a friend. Call me CRAZY!! Doing another cake along with all the other baking and decorating I had to do? Of course I will do another cake! I love baking and decorating cakes. It has been a while since I have posted something from the baking/cake side of things. 



The cake was a Wow Wow Wubzy cake. Vanilla inside and vanilla buttercream for the icing, with marshmallow fondant touches.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

PS. Stay tuned for photos from our Dora Fiesta!

Let the week begin!

Thanks to being sick the ENTIRE week last week, I have so much to catch up on!! I hate being behind on my schedule of things to do. I become completely unorganized, I get overwhelmed sometimes, then I get re-organized and get things under control, then realize I forgot to include something, and it starts all over. Ha ha. Well not that bad. Just a tad bit unorganized right now, but should be good to go when I get home from work.


This week is the week before our little Constance's Dora Fiesta! I am so excited and so is she. She just wants to dig in and help with everything and its so cute, til she brings her crayons over to color on some of the decor. I did manage to get the invitations out like I wanted to. And on to baking, and decorating and finalizing details this week. So much fun!!

I am so thankful to be feeling better. Maybe there was a reason for me to be sick, so I could slow down. This girl here does not know when or how to slow down. Energizer bunny, I am!

Happy Monday Everyone!!

My Baby Girl's Birthday


Two years ago, today, I gave birth to my baby girl. She weighed 8 lbs, 14 oz and was 23 inches long. She has grown so much and learned so much in the past 2 years. Into a complete little lady, she has turned! It is so amazing watching her learn and grow along with developing more and more personality each day. She can be so silly and goofy sometimes and a tomboy when her best cousin zac comes over. Just like her mommy, girly, but tomboy tendencies. 



Thank you lord, for blessing us with this wonderful baby girl that has brought us so much joy!!
Happy Birthday Constance Savannah-Claire!!!

{Sneak Peek 3} Life size Dora

I posted last week some fabric for some things I am working on. And today I am posting a sneak peek for a life size Dora!! What do you think she will be used for?! All I had at first was a picture of Dora on a piece of paper and thinking to myself how in the WORLD am I gonna get her the size of 2 poster boards? Umm, draw her of course. Luckily, I can draw pretty much anything that I see, if I can actually sit long enough to do it. It didn't take too long to do either. At the time, when I started drawing, CK (Constance) was taking a nap and when she woke up, she was amazed and her eyes were about the size of a quarter! She tried to give it a hug and kept saying "hi Dora!". So keep guessing and stay tuned for what happens with this huge Dora!

We also went to the aquarium over the weekend to meet Dora and can you guess what happened with the BIGGEST Dora fan??! She was SCARED of Dora!! She was fine until Dora moved her hand to sit CK down beside her and she started screaming!! Go figure....... It was a great start to some of the birthday festivities though (even if the party is 2 weeks away)!
Hope everyone has a great Monday
