Be Amazing - Talking with Tami Vision Party

When Talking with Tami called and said she needed some help with her Girls Night in Vision Board party, I jumped into action. Of course, I only needed to buy foam boards since everything else was in my closet. Who knew I had so many craft supplies. I think we did more socializing than working on our boards, but at least everyone got a jump start and took their boards home to complete. This was so much fun and a great way to start the year - Love the Sign - BE AMAZING! Yes, I will.

Bridal Shower by Gail

They say do what you love and you will never work a day in your life. This is so true, I'm a very creative person and so in my element when I can create. One of my past brides hired me to do the decor for a friend's bridal shower at Le Petit Marche in Kirkwood district.  All the guests were asked to wear white (think is a recurring theme - luv it) and I used all white flowers for the bridal shower. This is a great place to host a shower or even have a meal, the food is delicious.

Children at Weddings

Love them or leave them at home. The topic of children at weddings is always a hot topic. Some couples want adult only receptions and other embrace the kids. It is always important to create a comfortable, inviting environment for children if they will be attending the wedding.

Check out my children's table and some of the fun items I found on the Wisteria's website including fun toys. I started with a white linen (must have) and comfortable folding chairs with vinyl padded seats for easy wipe down. Provide the little ones with cupcakes, I found gorgeous cupcake stands on Horchow's website and let them pick their favorite icing, sprinkles and flavor. The Savage Garden provided flowers and the wood custom cotton candy holder. Photos provided by Jeremy Harwell.

DIY Lampshade - Before and After

Remember my DIY lampshade post ...well you can check it out in the new issue of Occasions magazine. I have always been a crafter and DIY fan. Spending hours at a craft stores and off the beaten path sorting through a thrift store for treasures is my idea of a good time. I can't wait to share my next project!
