Hannah Montana Themed Party

For this theme, we had to decide on two things. What colors do 9 and 10 year old girls love? Pink and purple! Favorite show? Hannah Montana! So yes that is what we went with. This birthday party was for two sisters, and everything made them feel like rock stars, from the disco balls to the photo props.

We placed the handmade favors and birthday hats in the back, and the food in the middle.

Happy birthday Joud and Rand!

You can tell the girls are already feeling like stars!

We handmade ''birthday wishes'' book, one for each birthday girl.

Pink and purple handmade birthday hats.

 These were so much fun! Handmade guitar favors filled with goodies such as Hannah Montana stickers and coloring pages, necklaces, bracelets, rings, and mirrors. All the items needed to feel like a star.

Homemade chocolate cupcakes with cute toppers.

 Aren't these centerpieces too cute? We made one for each birthday girl, and added a guitar and a microphone to each.

 Food, food, food! The lip shaped sugar cookies were delicious!

 Time to sing happy birthday!

The photobooth.

Let their imagination go wild!

 Pinata :)

Cupcake Bouquet

Oh cupcakes, I can't imagine my life without cupcakes. Put them on a table, add them to a plate, make them pops, with or without frosting, cupcakes never seize to amaze me. Imagine getting a cupcake bouquet! This would work for so many occasions, or can be used instead of a cupcake stand. Yes, I actually made this for my amazing sister... happy birthday sis!!!

Cookies & Cream Cupcakes!

Do I really have to write anything explaining how awesome these were? I think the pictures say enough. The kids went crazy over these I was so scared there wouldn't be enough for everyone! Dear Oreos... I don't know how you do it but you never seem to disappoint anyone.

Gift Basket for Mom

I just love gift baskets. They can be filled up with so many 'gifts', the options are endless. This was a basket for a mom, and I thought it would be great to get her family working too. Her kids are too cute and we had a lot of fun taking pictures. This would work for any occasion, birthdays, mother's day, or simply just to say I love you!

Filled it up with homemade heart chocolate lollipops, vouchers, goodie bags, handmade felt roses bouquet, and a mom frame.

If you still don't know your letters, they're M-O-M :). This frame is just the perfect gift. I have to warn you though, taking pictures of kids is not easy! Take at least 50 pictures so you can choose 3 :) 

Blowing-kisses-for-their-mom goodie bags. I filled them up with heart shaped chocolates.

And of course, love vouchers!

Happy Eid Everyone!

Happy Eid! I hope the past Ramadan was filled with blessings for everyone. Finally I will be able to look at food again and actually bake them during the day (and post post post!). As a gift from me to you, please help yourself to some delicious sweets from any one of these baskets we made.

These were the two baskets we made. Since I like you for liking my blog, you are allowed to take one from each. The one on the left consists of goodie bags filled with chocolate, chocolate covered raisins, and sugar cookies. The one on the right is filled with more chocolate, chocolate covered raisins, and sugar cookies.

These bags are great for the kids (and a great way to keep the house clean). I'm going to be nice (again) and let you take as many as you want!

We made these cute bag labels that have different Eid blessings written on them. 

There's one for you, one for you, and one for you.

Moon and stars shaped sugar cookies with drizzled chocolate and sprinkles. Hurry up and eat them before I do!

 

I hope you're not full, because you have to eat something from this basket too. We made moons and stars chocolate, and added the Hijri year 1432. Those are too cute to eat. I hope you enjoyed your Eid sweets!

Red, Pink, and Orange Anniversary Party

The theme for this anniversary party was red, pink, and orange, keeping it elegant and fun at the same time. This was a wonderful surprise for our parents, and a great family gathering.We also made a family slideshow that started off with the family baby pictures and ended with.... well what our lives ended up to be after these 24 for years of being a family. This day will definitely be remembered, the food, decorations, slideshow, and a dinner gift card were the perfect combination to make our parents happy on their anniversary!

The dining table was covered with brown table cloth and a pink table runner. Handmade pink, orange, and red felt roses were used as the centerpiece. Around them, candles and pearls were used, keeping the table elegant.

Handmade pink, red, and orange felt roses with pearls.

What's on the menu? Chocolate covered apples, carrot cake, cheesecake, and heart shaped chocolate lollipops. And of course, everything was homemade :)

Hmm is that an envelope? What's a better anniversary gift than a dinner for two at the Mövenpick Hotel!

This is the family subway art that we made, for them to keep, but for me to steal :)

Purple and Pink Makeup Themed Party

This party just made me want to be a kid all over again. We had so much fun planning, decorating, and celebrating her 10th birthday. We made it a pink and purple makeup themed party. The kids enjoyed every single bit of it!

These were the invitations we made for the birthday girl to give to her friends.

Homemade chocolate cupcakes with cute toppers.

The birthday wishes book. We had each of her friends write her something special, and add their handprint too!

Couldn't help but notice the "best party"!

These favors were customized for each girl, using her initials. We filled them up with necklaces, lipstick, sunglasses, candy, and nail polish.

Got to love the birthday hats!

A table just isn't complete without a cute and fun centerpiece that states the party's theme.

Homemade chocolate makeup and some extra large sugar cookie lips!

The "how well do you know the birthday girl" game was so much fun, and the the questions were so funny. They had 15 seconds to answer every question, but I think we lost count after 5!

No party is complete without a pinata! We got her a nail polish shaped pinata and filled it up with candy of course!

Photoprops gave the girls a chance to show their goofy sides. They just kept laughing the whole time, and even the baby couldn't resist.

Don't worry, we made sure this makeup could be washed right away. One girl was blindfolded and was given red lipstick. She had to find the other girls lips and try to make it, well, let's just say it was a beautiful and fun mess!
