Freebie: Popsicle Invite!

I am so excited about celebrating the 4th of July this year.
My grandmother is visiting from South Africa and this will be her first time celebrating the 4th with us.

We are headed to one of our favorite spots with crystal clear springs and amazing fireworks!

Since we are headed to the water, I thought that these FREE summer Popsicle invitations would be perfect for our friends and family. Click on the link above to download yours today!
Cut out the Popsicle stick on your printed copy, or for a fun twist, glue a real Popsicle stick in between the front and back of your invitation! Find real Popsicle sticks at your local craft store.

You can also use these for your own summer party, pool party, slip and slide splash or any variation thereof.

Love to all my readers!

Ahoy! It's a Boy! Sail boat babyshower.

This was such a fun baby shower that I did for a client of mine.
She was looking for something that incorporated some blues, greens and whites.

I spent some time looking for inspiration and I ran across beautiful blue and white seersucker fabric.
I had some custom made table runners made that I placed atop white tablecloths.

I added a fun white shutter atop the runner and placed an extra wide, shallow glass bowl on the shutter. It's was playfully accentuated with blue stones and a little floating sail boat.

My clients table was unusually long, so I added visual interest to the table to balance out the centerpiece by adding three bunches of flowers in mason jars on each side of the shutter.

I found some amazing paper plates and napkins that complimented the shower to a tee!

I set up the shower the day before the event, due to some traveling plans so I wasn't able to capture the completed look with the mason jars and cupcake toppers. My client set out the cupcakes and toppers on the day of the event to make sure that they stayed fresh.

The invitations, cupcake toppers, cupcake wrappers, banner and drink flags were custom made for this shower.

Be back soon :)

I apologize to all of my readers for being lackadaisical over the past few weeks in updating blog posts. 

I've been blessed by staying busy! 

Amongst all of my projects, I've also been hired as an event planner at a local catering company here in town! Mojo Grill and Catering has a new member on their team and I'm super excited to see where this will take me and my career! 

I've been keeping busy with having a website designed for me. 
Take a look:

I've also finished working on a Crossfit competition event here in Ocala. 
I attended a beautiful bridal show at Jumbolair, in Ocala. It was great seeing some familiar brides and other faces. 

I've been working on a baby shower for a little boy. I can't wait to share pictures! 

Some new projects that I'm working on, include designing another tablescape for the Family Times Magazine! I am so honored to be asked to do something for the third time in a row! 

I have a first birthday that I will start planning once we come back from our beach vacation in the next few weeks. I am also starting to gather some fun materials for a wine glass painting class that I will be co-teaching with Sheila Ramos from Artist Hub of Ocala!
