Sweet little Ben , a/k/a King Candy, just celebrated his 3rd birthday in major style. The King's Mama, Katie, hosted a fabulous & beautiful Candyland themed party for him and his royal, candy loving subjects. I had the honor of making a whole lotta glittery, coordinating items to complement everything Katie had done. I think she did an absolutely amazing job. Beautiful party, sweet little boy. Happy 3rd Birthday Ben.

pink sailboats for the ladies...

pink, yellow & blue sailboats
reminds me of summering
on the vineyard -not that
I have ever done that,
but a pug can dream:)

pink, green & orange sailboat
cupcake flags

Sailboats are classic, chic and stylish. I have made sailboat partyware for baby showers, birthday parties and baptisms. I have done color combos in all shades of blue, blue & red, blue & yellow, blue & chocolate brown...Nothing cuter than a little sailor theme. Except...maybe...even more unique adorableness, I present the charming girly sailboats...Sweet little sailor girl in a nautical pinafore may be the cutest idea-ever! Quick, someone create a party around this design and send me an invitation:) Ships ahoy!

More pictures of the Super Grover party setup. These include the adult buffet and additional party areas in the kitchen and family room. See part one Supa Setup pictures here.

I do not cook. I hate it and am a bad cook...very bad....My talents lie elsewhere.
I had the adult food catered from Panera Bread. Excellent food, superior service and their presentation was awesome. Sandwiches, salads, breads and dips. Stress free for me, and no food poisoning, burnt or raw food for my guests:) LOL!

super boy's very special cupcake topper

There was only one of these little gems in the whole wide world. A painstakingly, hand painted and embellished old school Fisher Price Little People Grover. One very lucky day, I stumbled upon this jewel. One very talented chick transformed a vintage, plastic figurine into a little masterpiece that will be adorning Super Gavin's Birthday Cupcake. Lucky, indeed.
