Mother's Day Tea Party

I hope everyone had a beautiful Mother's Day this past weekend. Our day was great. We enjoy having themed parties when ever we get a chance. So this day was no exception.

 We decided, or I should say my sister Alicia and I decided that we would do a Tea Party Theme. 

We put together a small amount of decorations, but it all looked cute. We had big hats to wear. The funny thing was that we didn't even drink tea, were not big on tea :)

My husband planned the 4 course meal, and all the men and children were in charge of cooking and serving the Mom's on this day!

The decorations were a vintage rose design, and I added some tea cups on some of the decor.

I also made a few napkin rings 

I made these 8x10 signs that say "happy mother's day" in Spanish

A few water labels

A very simple banner

Look at all those gifts for the moms

My dad was in charge of grilling the corn, so cute.

My Hubby the chef.

It was a perfect day!

It will be the women and kids turn to cook for Father's Day next month! The dad's told us to be aware!

It's FIESTA Time!

I come from a Mexican family, were loud, were loving, were funny, we have drama. When ever we have gatherings/parties, it's always a good time. We just like hanging out, cracking jokes, and eating. Especially when we make home made meals, there so delicioso!

Cinco De Mayo is right around the corner, and a lot of people out there like to eat Mexican food and have Mexican themed parties. So with that said, I have been inspired to put together some Fiesta themed invitations that can pretty much be used for birthdays, baby showers, bbq etc.  They are now available in my etsy shop.

A little bit of toy organizing

I was going a little crazy when my son would dump out all his toys in order to look for a specific hot wheels car or a specific "guy".  So I decided to do some organizing, and asked him for his help. It was also a good teaching lesson of categorizing same objects in different piles.

So we got to work.....

I already had some tote boxes, but I went to the store and bought a few more, which I knew I would need. Excuse my photos, they are not the greatest :(

Here are are half of the toys after we starting organizing

Here is a furniture piece where I ended up storing most of the tote boxes. I stored some more in another furniture piece in the family room.

I personally don't like to have all the toys visible, so if I can put hide them I will :)

I made my labels using the silhouette cameo, put them on the boxes. 

Now it's easy for my son to find what his looking for, and when his done, he knows where it goes.

Butterflies, Turtles, and Frogs Oh My!!

Perfect for a Spring party or a nature lover, these invites are funky and cool. A friend of mine asked me to do an invite or her daughter's birthday. She gave me specifications such as the color pallet and to include butterflies and frogs. Her daughters is a cool, funky, and loves nature. I sent her four samples, she picked one, and it turned out adorable. It's the one with the frog sitting on the cupcake.

I love that I was able to customize an invitation for her, and she liked it. I'm always worried about what the client will think of my work. 

Here are the invites, let me know what you think :)

AARRRGGHHH My Matey!!!

I have been working on some girl/boy Pirate Theme Party Invitations. Here they are, and they are now available in my etsy shop!!! Who said girls cant have a pirate party? Not me, which is why I have done a girly color scheme.
