This weekend, I took part in my first Holiday Craft Show here in Stillwater. I created lots of great items for the show and met lots of amazing potential customers. We handed out free cupcakes and mini candy bars to guests, and sold Christmas gift tags, Santa Letters, mini candy bar wrappers and cupcake toppers. I had a great time at the show! Can't wait for next year!

A Very Witchy Halloween Party!

Every year, my awesome sisters and I put together a Halloween bash to celebrate one of our very favorite holidays. We usually have the party in Weatherford so us adults can go to the Haunted Corn Maze but decided it was about time to include our children include our children in our festivities so had the party at my house in Stillwater.

This year, I went with a Witchy theme for all of the decorations. Lisa and Casey made some amazing cupcakes and Chelsi made some delicious Mummies on a Stick (dipped oreos). She also made an AMAZING Witch's Brew for the adults ;) We set up party games outside for all of the kids to play, which turned out really well. They played Witch Hat Toss, Bobbed for Apples, Tag in the dark and threw darts at a witch hat made out of balloons. Justin was an awesome helper with all of the kids games. I think this turned out to be a really great party this year and am very thankful for all of the help and guests that attended.  Hope you all come again next year!

Little Man Customer Party!

I recently created a Little Man birthday party for some good friends and their little boy Eric's first birthday. I used ties and mustaches in the design and it turned out so cute! After the party, Eric's mom sent me some pictures from the party and she did such a great job with all of the decorations. I especially love the little cigar boxes with dipped pretzels. So adorable! The striped paper straws with the mustaches on them are so fun too! The guests also all took photos in their mustaches. Such a fun party! Here are some of the pictures from the party.

 

The adorable birthday boy Eric. I just adore his little tie t-shirt, complete with mustache!

 

Kimmie did such a great job pulling together this party and I am glad they chose me to help create it.

More Fall photos with Tripp!

I did some practicing with lighting yesterday with Tripp and with the self-timer with myself. The self-timer is much harder to master than I ever imagined! It kept focusing on the background instead of me. Also found out that it is extremely hard to get a 3 year old to give you a "natural" look. He kept saying "Cheese!", which does not exactly give you a natural smile. We tried laughing, and that just gave me a wide open mouth. Decided he is just still a little young for that ;) Here are a few of the photos!

This picture is SOOO Tripp!

I wanted to show this advertisement I created for the business. Hope to be sending it out as a postcard soon!

Fall Photos with Tripp!

Today, I went out and took some photos with Tripp at Couch Park here in Stillwater. I had seen the location once before and wanted to see what if it would be a good location for photo shoots. We both agreed, it was a lot of fun!

McLain-Driscoll Wedding Shoot

I was given the opportunity to capture the memories of some very special friends of mine at their beautiful outdoor wedding. The ceremony took place in front of an old, brick fireplace, which is all that is left of an old building. It was absolutely beautiful! I am so happy for the couple and wish them the best of luck in life.

Here are a few photos from the ceremony and the bridal photo shoot.
