True Blue Birthday

My sister just had her Birthday on Friday and we had a small get together at our house. I decided I would put together a little decor with all my lovely paper products.

I got to work on a Birthday banner, cupcakes and toppers, a wintery branch centre piece and monogrammed treat bags for the guests to take home. I also put together a small bar area, I used my chalkboard frames to write the signature cocktail on, and I got these great rock candy stir sticks (from HomeSense) for the drinks. It was a great night, lots of fun, laughter and food! Happy Birthday to my wonderful sister Patti!!

Here are some of the highlights:

M.I.A.

Yes I know I have been MIA...sorry to my loyal 40 followers and the rest of the blog world, but I promise it is for a good reason. Aside from the fact that I have a new job prospect lined up (more details later) I have been busy with my online paper goods shop The Paperie ( you can find the link on the left side of page). A lot of orders for birthday parties, engagement parties and such! Very excited :) On top of that a lot of February birthdays and upcoming weddings ( some which I am apart of via the bridal party). Soon I hope to get a lot of DIY projects in. So stay tuned I promise it will be worth it :)
