How the west was won!

Austin's Toy Story Hoedown was one for the books! Whitney, client and Austin's mom, did not spare a single detail planning this party... and I have been waiting ever so patiently to show off her photos. I am so happy to say that she made all of my late nights assembling these teeny tiny die cut pieces worth every effort (to see what went into Whitney's party goodies check out part 1 here!)

Woody's warm welcome at the door was quickly followed up with amazement for guests - cowboys and cowpokes alike! At each seat was a cowboy hat, bandanna and sheriff's badge, and at each place setting was an adorable placement made by mom! She also made the centerpieces (I know I say this every time, but I really love balloons for kids parties. I don't know why, but kids just light up when they see a balloon!)

The dessert table was obviously the main attraction! Cupcakes, brownie covered oreos (you heard me, an oreo inside a brownie... um, YUM) and sugar cookies with custom edible toppers, with TONS of Toy Story and cowboy charm!

A close up of the die cut cupcake toppers and edible cookie toppers. Isn't Bullseye stinkin' adorable?!

 

While most of the decorations were western inspired, Whitney requested one special sign for the lunch table! I thought her Pizza Planet idea was perfect!

The water bottle labels were so much fun! I hope the guests chuckled at them as much as I did!! They read "Wanted: For the crime of eating all the birthday cake... 50 Bzillion Reward... Last known whereabouts Austin's 3rd birthday party!"

Custom cup stickers with a little cowboy humor too!

At the conclusion of the party all the little cowpokes received their favor bags with special die cut favor tags. Rex chomping on the number 3 was just perfect!

Closer view of the tags. I sure hope everyone saved them - Rex was no easy task! They look so cute though!!

Handsome lil' birthday cowpoke Austin!

Austin and his family enjoying the big day! Happy birthday cowboy, I sure hope you enjoyed it all!!

Big thanks to Whitney for sharing here photos - and a huge job well done as well!! Austin's party must be all the talk down at the "watering hole" (ok, or at preschool but I had to get one more cowboy chuckle in there!!)

Cameron's five alarm fireman party!

Fireman parties will never go out of style for boys; how can you resist the charm of your little man looking up to such a hero! Cameron recently celebrated his third birthday with the visit of a real fire truck, and a wonderful party planned by mom and client Shanna.

Shanna had fun shopping for a lot of wonderful party decorations, like this real fire bell...

and special fireman themed balloons!

However I think the kids' favorites were probably these super cool fire hydrant sippy cups and favor bags!

Thank you Shanna for sending me these wonderful photos of the fireman creations in action! I'm dying to know... did mom make this cupcake stand herself? I absolutely adore it, and I love how she used neat little trinkets of firemen, hydrants, safety cones, signs and trucks to make it that much more fun.

My favorite shot... the pennant banner highlighting the birthday boys portrait (girls hold on to your hearts!) The wonder in his eyes says it all!

Oh I'm a-flutter still! CUTIE PIE!! Well done Shanna!!

So what's in store for tomorrow (besides another click on that sweet photo)? Custom cupcake party goodies for a 28th birthday!! Yup, you heard me, 28. I think Sandra's idea is going to catch on - yes we deserve adorable parties too! See you tomorrow!

Asher's vrooming past two!

This handsome little boy recently celebrated his second birthday with a fabulous party marvelously designed by mom and client Melissa! He was so cute in his Grease Monkey coveralls, you may remember catching a sneak peak on facebook. Isn't he adorable?? 

I also posted product photos of Melissa's order back in January. She just adored the Little Red Car party designed by Hello Naomi, so we incorporated many of the same fonts and checks to help her achieve the look. We also added polka dots to bring together the partyware Melissa had purchased for the event... and she did a great job with the dessert table!!

So many great pictures to share! The favor boxes showing off the die cut favor tags, and matching water bottle labels were a big hit. My favorite are the ribbon topiaries Melissa made for centerpieces - perfect!

Now this is where Asher gets totally spoiled... Melissa made all of these box cars for the kids to race in - complete with personalized license plates! AND she spray painted a race track around the front yard for the to race!! What an AWESOME MOMMA!!

Thank you so much for sharing pictures of Asher's birthday with us!!

Stop back EVERY day for the next 12 days... I will be featuring tons of fun client parties as well as recent custom products. Yes... you guessed it... all of my little foster puppies have found their forever homes (including one who made a home in our very own hearts) and it's time to catch up! Starting next Monday, I will also be hosting a five day daily giveaway of my own handmade creations to celebrate Peas & Thank You's 5th anniversary!! I do hope you'll celebrate with me!
