Show and Tell.....

I love it when my customers send me photos of their special days!  It means so much to me that they took time from their busy lives to share a moment that was special to them.

I wanted to share a few of them with you all!!

A wonderful way to block of the aisle before the ceremnoy begins.

This is one of my most favorite banners in the shop!

This was an appreciation photo left in my feedback for the shop. I absolutely love it!!!!!

Looking in on special days is sweet, thanks for sharing your precious memories with me!!!!               

Breaking Dawn, Bella And Edward's Wedding Cake!!

Here are the pics of the reception celebration for "Breaking Dawn." The cake table had a magical forest feeling to it with twinkling lights and some outdoor elements! We used a large mirror and a tree stump under the cake, circled it with the twinkle lights, some moss and flowers. Jenna added a   

                            chess board with some decorating elements from the Twilight books.

We hung the banners and turned down the lights and it really was pretty!

 I had to take pics through the glass because we put the table in a place so everyone could see it. The Twihards began arriving about 5:30 for the midnight show, but entertained themselves until

the movie began. Like I said before, I had never really gotten into the series, but the movie was really good! I am even looking forward to part 2, now that Bella is a vampire herself! I think the best part of the whole experience was hanging out with my daughter!! She did a beautiful job on the cake!

A Happily Ever after banner....

Edward and Bella banner.....

Jenna set up a chess board with some decor elements from the Twilight books

We used a lot of outdoor elements for decorating. This is the chessboard with the apple, tulips, red ribbon and chess piece, elements from the Twilight book jackets.

We put the cake on top of a tree stump and surrounded it with lights, moss, tulips and apples.

The cake topper! The dress I put on Bella was nothing like her dress in the movie. They kept it a secret so I had to guess. Edward has glowy eyes and he sparkles!

It was a lot of work, but so much fun! I met a lot of awesome people and made a few contacts for my new business! Jenna got some cake making experience under her belt for the bakery she wishes to open someday! Thanks to Mary at Hometown Cinema in Terrell Texas for letting us participate!!

Wedding Banner, Chocolate Brown and Pink

So today "The Art Of Handmades" on Etsy, got a convo about an order for a wedding banner. Yay, order!!
The convo stated that the customer would like a banner in pale pink and chocolate brown, cool color combo :)  The convo was promptly answered with the information the customer requested. 

The word "chocolate" stimulated the chocolate part of my brain and tummy.  This led me to getting in the car and going to the store to buy this......

And because wine compliments chocolate so nicely,  this too.........

by the time I got home.....this happened

I was a good and obedient citizen, did not break the law and did not drink the wine while I was in the car, mostly because I live in the state of Texas and am afraid of execution......but as soon as I got home.......

                                                                  
                                                             this happened............

wondering if there is such a color as margarita, and if so, surely someone needs a party banner in that color........
