Birthday Girl Banner

Birthdays can be so fun, special, and a great excuse to celebrate! When Birthday Girl Maritza asked me to create a birthday banner to display for her birthday bash I was thrilled! The only thing I love more than making a space visually beautiful is seeing my friends smile. A marriage of both equals SUCCESS for me!

Birthday Girl Maritza chose a '50 Shades of Pink' theme to celebrate another year of her! Dainty, pink, burlap, lace... I mean, Yes!!!

This project was really fun to create - I cheated and utilized my hot glue gun over the sewing machine. Multiple moves and remodels in the last couple years make it impossible tricky to keep track of all my crafting things. :( {If anyone finds the power plug for my sewing machine I'd be happy to give you a hug and some cookies}

The Kace Fun Race

I debated posting about this - but in order to fulfill my 'Yes Woman' summer here it is!

The Kace Fun Race to 26 was one hell of a birthday party. Kacie, Chrissy, and I {over wine, of course} brainstormed how to maximize a birthday bar crawl. Reunited, we were reminded of our crazy college days together and started the ever-typical reminiscing process which lead us to a little game we liked to call 'Souvenir' {details are sworn to the grave}... the next logical thing to do was create a scavenger hunt. 

Fast forward to the Kace Fun Race weekend. With our laminated, divided into teams, scavenger hunt lists we set out for Main Street in Huntington Beach. Fireball whispered temptation into my ear so it's behind covered eyes I'm sharing these pictures - that and it was WAY too much fun not to talk about.

Each team was broken into colors and picked at random to avoid a last-picked-for-Red-Rover type situation {special thanks to Twistband & Whitney for keeping us from having to play shirts v. skins} and set off with sharpie in hand to tackle their lists. The team captains determined the best way to prove/document the game was to create a group text and photos from each accomplished line item had to be sent {holy heck that was comical to review the next morning}.

Here are some of the pictures from Team Orange:
