My New Fan Page!

For ever more I have been a creative soul. I have pleasured myself in helping others to plan events and create custom gifts and decor to go along with their parties. I have sat for endless hours putting together personalized gifts for others in events like birthdays and baby showers. And even though I have been blogging for many years now, besides what I have done and shared from my wedding, I haven't documented everything I've ever done (my first mistake).

Right now I work full time in a pharmacy, I am also currently enrolled in school where I go to match class twice a week and take an online english course, the weekends are my only days off so Saturdays & Sundays fly by! So when other people tell me that I should put my creativity and my talents to use, I shrug it off because I normally feel like I dont have enough time. 

But yesterday I decided to make a Facebook Fan Page and to start offering up my services. Where normally someone would charge, I am offering up my skills for FREE, for NOW, just so that I can build a portfolio and a great customer base. 

I am great at helping you to create a fun, unique theme for an event like a birthday party, shower, or even wedding. I will run with that theme to create custom centerpieces, favors, gifts, and other small decor.

I am also interested in making custom gifts which include snacks. I would love to make tiny baskets or buckets with chocolate covered popcorn, or pretzels (just for example) so you can pass out to friends, family, or co-workers. 

Those are just a few ideas.... so please check out my fan page, Like it, Share it, spread the word...

I will be coming up with something creative to give away to a facebook fan, for what is the next biggest holiday - MOTHERS DAY!

D-I-Y Tastey Treats!

Craving something delicious and fun to make? Recently I've been planning a baby shower for one of my best friends. She is pregnant with her FIFTH child, but first boy. So my mom and I have been spending the last month preparing for the big day, which is this coming Saturday.

I can't give away any clues yet because she might see this, but I will just say that everything was D-I-Y! There is nothing I like more than being creative and putting a personal, unique touch on everything I come in contact with. I knew I wanted her shower to be sleek and elegant so I used "Tiffany" colors- teal,white, and brown and went from there.... pictures to come next week.

In the midst of all that I have been to Michael's craft store about 100x and have gotten a billion other ideas of what to do for other gifts and just some fun at home. Everyone loves food and snacks and it just so happens that today I came across some great ideas from other fellow bloggers that I just wanted to share, so enjoy!

PARTY POPCORN
 Over at Fashion Meets Food

"Spring brings on colorful accents and cheerful moods. I knew that my friendship gift for April needed to counterpart what spring has to offer. In my mind there was no better choice than my party popcorn. A sweet and salty combination, with a pop of confetti color."

Caramel Apple Parfait

Over at Reasons to Skip the Housework

"My newly invented Caramel Apple Parfait is just one more treat that is made better with COOL WHIP.  You can keep these items on hand and make it up in a flash for the kids!"

Graham Cracker Peep House

Over at Kasey Buick

"On occasion…i will sit down with my children and do something that requires me to actually be a hands-on…fun…totally cool…mother."

Easter Egg Cake Balls 
over at Success Along the Weigh 

"Do NOT even attempt to do these on Easter Sunday or you will be in the worst mood ever...good thing for them they taste so damn good!"

Smores on a Stick

over at Blogs. Babble. com

"Not only did I not have to turn the oven on, I made a few dozen in under five minutes. These will no doubt be on the menu at a certain sixth birthday party later this summer. What kid (or grown-up) doesn’t adore food on a stick"

Chocolate Party Spoons
over at Delicious Delicious Delicious

"Then you simply go mad with whatever small sweets, silver balls and sprinkles you have. Jelly beans are a must - we all agreed they go nicely with the chocolate, however odd that may sound. If your sweets are chocolate themselves though, wait ten minutes before putting them onto the molten chocolate, just in case they also start melting."
