All You Need Is Faith, Trust and…

In celebration of my youngest turning five years old we had a Tinker bell party for little bear at the beginning of the month.  It was so fun and turned out just perfect. 

While getting ready that morning she wanted to look like Tinker Bell which was no easy feat considering her hair is so short.  She also requested she wear a Tinker Bell dress which was perfect considering I knew her aunt Tammy was bringing one for a gift!

Final Giveaway with Ginger Jewels!!

This truly is the best part of my job as a blogger.  I love giving things away!  It’s so much fun, all the hype and then the winner.  It’s like the fireworks at Disneyland =)

Today wraps up the week long birthday bash of giveaways here at Designer Garden.  But I like to think I’ve saved the best for last!  Leslie at Ginger Jewels is not only an amazing jewelry designer but she is also a personal friend of mine.  That may make me a little bit biased but so be it.  This is MY blog after all lol.

Giveaway With Trina Rose Boutique!

Welcome back for day three of the week long birthday bash here at Designer Garden!  The giveaways have been amazing so far and I thank every one of the talented crafters that have offered up their time and talent. 

I would like to introduce you to Alli from Trina Rose Boutique.  She has some out of this world talent when it comes to home decor.  Wait until you check out her shop, your husbands may have to send in search and rescue. 

Ice Cream Social

It was a long time coming.  This party for Little Miss K couldn’t have arrived sooner for her.  Me on the other hand…. I waited with a slight heart murmur for the 18 children who RSPV’d to arrive and destroy grace my home.  Luckily for me these little girls were all princesses in the making.  So well behaved and a pleasure to do business with be around!  I didn’t say that lol… I would never solicit a bunch of kindergartener’s to a birthday party simply for their willingness to come bearing gifts ;P Nope not me, I would never.
Whew knew a giant cupcake would be such a hit??!





Um…Are we turning 6 or 16?  Oh wait, princess castles… still 6 for now =)
The Ice Cream Sunday Bar. Complete with Toppings!

Pirouettes and balloon clusters….
 
Love me some pink and white marsh mellows!
You can find all these great topping labels http://eatdrinkchic.com/post.cfm/diy-ice-cream-parlour-make-your-own-sundaes-buffet-concept-for-wedding-or-party.  Just label your own and print!  I bought a package of like 200 popsicle sticks at the dollar store.

And strawberry lemonade…

Cherries on top… and how bout those darling argyle printed cup jackets?

Another view of the finished table display.

The beautiful Little Miss K….

The loot!  It could quite possibly be the very most important part of a party!

Just a little brag photo of my girlies.

And a happy princess.  We love you Miss K!  Happy birthday my sweet 6 yr old.

Fit for a princess

Remember I told you I recently went to a birthday party my girlfriend had for her three year old daughter?  I said I was going to share some pics and since I'm down to the guts of another projects right now I figure there is no better time to share those photo's with you than now.

This is a bouquet she made with silk flowers from the craft store and a vase she already had!  Gotta love a flower arrangement that never dies and you can use again and again.

Is this not the sweetest little set up you've ever seen?  Each place setting had it's own matching cup an saucer but yet they were all different.  I have seen these at the thrift store for $1 each!

Take a closer looks in the following pictures of the beautiful table cloth that was custom made for this table of delicacies.

Okay so I'm not going to sit here mislead you all in saying that all of this was done inexpensively and by hand.  These were special ordered through a talented Etsy shop for an insane $10 a piece!  Gasp!  But you know when you see those special items that you just must have regardless of the price tag?  These perfectly princessy (that's a word as of now lol) name tags were one of those items.  And a special thank you to my girlfriend for having one made for each of my little princesses to bring home and hang on their doors =)

I couldn't leave out a perfectly perfect picture of our tea party princess.  Love you little miss Lo.

Cupcakes fit for a queen not a princess!  Holy cow.  I was in awe when I saw these beauties.  The cupcake holders are handmade with scrapbook paper.  The toppers were custom ordered by yet another talented Etsy shop.  However,  these would be so easy to make!  I have a tutorial in the works for a later date =)

Just a close up of these scrumptious delectables.

Okay one more since I obviously really like cupcakes lol!

Of course we would need ice cream with those cupcakes and the birthday girl saw this cake at Baskin Robins.  It was love at first sight and what the princess wants, the princess gets =)

Hope you enjoyed the party as much as we did!  And now I have a bunch of fun ideas for my own little princess's party coming up soon.  Too bad she's head over heals for Thomas the Tank engine lol.
