Kicking off Ridiculously Real Party Features: Otterly Amazing

Kicking off a new series on my blog~ Ridiculously Real Parties.

I believe in glitter.
I believe in purple.
I believe in overusing the words: seriously, ridiculously and stoked.
I believe in honesty.
I believe in originality.
I believe in real parties designed with love and with the happiness of the birthday child in mind.

Featuring the real ones. Not the ones designed to be featured with the child's happiness as an afterthought.

Kicking it off with an Otterly Amazing 7th:)

This unique picnic in the park party is otterly adorable and ridiculously charming. Natalie, of  Knock Knock Factory fame, has an amazing little artist daughter, named Dylan, who seriously digs otters. She also loves Otter Pops:) And picnics...

I recently started offering Sweetheart Art in my shop-your child creates the artwork, I create extraordinary, glittered partyware from their masterpieces. Dylan whipped up some otter adorableness and I transformed them into custom, one-of-a kind partyware which became the foundation design of this picnic in the park. The entire party was designed around Dylan's love of otters and her actual artwork. Doesn't get much sweeter than that.
