holiday card display

Thursday, November 17, 2011

we all collect beautiful family holiday cards throughout the years and i keep them all! 

year after year, i love to browse and go over pictures of family and friends especially whom we have not seen over a period of time. last year, i decided to display them hanging on twine by our buffet in the dining room and i think i'd do that again this year. it's just a wonderful way of displaying them instead of leaving them inside their envelopes. and as i receive them in the mail, i keep adding them!

tutus and ties birthday party

Tuesday, November 15, 2011

we were so bummed to have missed my nephew's daughter, aria's third birthday party. from what i saw, it was such a cute party with the most adorable theme -- a tutus and ties birthday party! 

here's the invitation design by paper cupcake design. i love the girly pink and orange color scheme! 


a sparkly pair of shoes is a must-have to celebrate in style! 


darling ties and tutus garland as decor! such a lovely idea! 


the pretty celebrant aria, face-painted and all! 


handsome little fellas sporting their ties! 




delicious caramel apples were made by aria's mom, candace! 





happy birthday ARIA
