S.O.S. | What Went Down

Hi everyone! Take a look at what went down during Alexis' SleepOver Spa Party.

First, the girls were treated to a home cooked meal for dinner in our formal dining room. My cousin Jek helped me dress up the table. She has a knack for table setting.

The birthday girl.

The balloon towers were from the party of my friend's daughter the night before.

The Menu: My Creamy Chicken Pesto Pasta & Salpicao, Manang Marlyn's Chicken Ala King with my buttered bread cups and Monsee's breadsticks.

For dessert, the girls had French macarons from Bizu and the cupcakes I baked. In lieu of a cake, I used the cupcake tier my sister Teena sent all the way from New Jersey to make a cupcake tower. In keeping with the spa theme, I added a nail polish bottle in between each cupcake to liven it up.

Afterwards the girls headed on to....

where they were greeted with this scene.

More goodies for the girls to bring home.

Hair & Facial Masks Station

Now, here's the best part of the night...

Each girl was treated to a "Pampered Hands and Feet Treatment" by Spaworks Mobilespa owned and operated by another good friend.

The girls were all smiles and felt simply divine the whole evening, but most importantly my sweet Alexis was very very happy.

S.O.S | In The Bag

In keeping with Alexis' spa themed party her guests beauty got to bring home some beauty essentials that were tucked inside these tumbler bags I made.

Check out the pampering goodies they got...
 

nail polish in bright bold colors

travel-size nail files

mini hand sanitizers & holders

and grooming kits

Seeing the girls' pretty smiles made putting these favors together truly worthwhile.

Edit: Thank you so much to my sister, Teena, 

for providing the Bath and Body products

and all the other goodies. Love ya!

 

{Happy} Sweet Sixteen

Guys, look at the invites I made for my daughter's sleepover spa party.

Alexis, a Pisces, was born on February 22, 1995. Her birthstone is Amethyst. It is associated with spirituality, wisdom, sobriety, and security. It is purple in color which happens to be my sweetie's favorite.

I decided to use Stampin' Up's Elegant Eggplant and Green Galore cardstocks as the base for these crisscross invitations. And the hearts from the coordinating designer papers add just the right amount of cuteness for both the invites and favor bags befitting a young lady's sweet sixteen party.

Drop by again later this week to see more of Alexis' S.O.S. party.

A Sprinkle of Pixie Dust

Take a look at the invitations I made for Sam. She loves fairies, the colors purple & pink and all things shiny, sparkly & pretty,

Each invites came in with these equally colorful envelopes.

If you have any comments, suggestions or questions please drop me a line. I'd love to hear from you.

Have a productive week ahead everyone!

A Grateful Heart

So many blessings.

For today it's welcome home dad,

For a month and a half.

So very precious,

Must make every moment count.

Time will fly,

I know.

Am already dreading the goodbyes,

But must focus on today.

And simply be thankful.

HAPPY HEARTS DAY!

Here's something that will surely keep the hearts of  bibliophiles aflutter.

As you can see, this small packet packs quite a punch.

{My Mind's Eye} Pizza

Woke up today with this on my mind...

thin crust Four-Cheese Pizza from Uncle Cheffy's.

Very Yum-Oh!
