For our first post we wanted to share with you a traditional my sister and I have done for years. We grew up in a big family with a mom who always had family functions. She loved to entertain family and friends.So I guess you can say we naturally transitioned into having a love for entertaining. When we had kids we couldn't wait until their birthdays because we take entertaining to a new level with our creativity. Each year we would brain storm on a fabulous theme party. This is our first event we have done together in a long time since our divorces and also after relocating to North Carolina. It was for my daughter Elise who turned six. The theme was Barbie and lets just say I've been waiting for the day to throw my daughter a Barbie party. My inspiration was the Barbie silhouette logo and the colors pink and black. Here are some pictures of the party below.
The main colors were pink and black. I came up with the idea to design a feature wall with fashion images of Barbie. My sister, Carol designed the custom framed banner by cutting out the Barbie logo against a pink backdrop.
The gift bags were designed with the silhouette logo.
Here is the feature sweets table.
Big sister designed and made the cake. The inside of the cake had zebra stripes and believe me it tasted as good as it looked.
A sample of some of the party favors.
Here is the guest of honor taking pictures with some of her guests.
We also had a fashion show which was our version of project runway. Each guest sketched a design and showed it off on the runway.
Time to blow out the candles and eat this yummy cake my sister Carol designed.
Here I am with my sweetie sneaking a pic and enjoying the moment and happy to hear her say ...This is the best party ever!!!
Hope you guys enjoyed taking a peek inside our lives and our loves....
Until next post. ;)
