Polka Dots and Pigs!

Not my normal company name, I know, but has a certain ring to it! Our little friend Olivia will be turning three next month and she is super into three things...pink, polka dots, & pigs. Patti asked if I could work all of them into an invitation and here is the result!

Lots more of this party in the coming weeks!

Superheros...Take 4

Photobucket

I have already tried my hand at making Star Wars and Batman classy and cool for three other hip little guys who are obsessed with superheros. This time little Jack couldn't pick just one favorite superhero for his mom to plan his party around, so she just wanted it to look "superhero-ish". So I picked the classic superhero colors for the letters, some black patterns for the background, and a cool comic superhero font. Hopefully it fulfills Jack's wish for a super party!


Need that superhero graphic? (Can be customized to look like your little hero!)

Little Miss Avery...I mean Emma!

When I made the invitations for Avery's birthday party that was featured earlier in the week, I SWORE that I was not going to duplicate them because making that image of her took me weeks. I really thought it looked like her by the time I got done, but it was hours and hours of work.

So when someone local contacted me and wanted me to make invitations for her daughter's party that were similar to Avery's I wasn't sure what to say. But she assured me that her daughter looks very similar to Ave, just blue eyes instead of brown. I actually didn't even want to see a pic of her before hand in case that made me want to work on it more...isn't that horrible?!

They are using a modern garden theme so she needed the colors green, pink, and purple.

They went out in the mail today, Kim!

{Happy Customers} : Jack

So I am pretty sure this lady really IS my happiest customer...it just so happens that she is also my sister. My nephew Jack is so darn cute that the pics from his party had to go up on {happy customers}.

No please let me say that in her testimonial, my sister is WAAAAAAY too hard on herself and WAAAAAAAAAY too nice about me. She kind of has that problem. She really is creative herself, she'd just rather die than use a scissors, so leaves this party stuff up to me, right Ray?

Hop on over to {happy customers} and check it out my spunky, adorable, little ball loving nephew!

Firefly Garden Shower Invites

Yesterday I showed you pics from the FIRST project I worked on with my friend Beth. Here is the LATEST project we are working on! She is throwing a baby shower for two of her favorite mommies-to-be. It will be very girly in pinks and greens with a firefly garden theme. Here are the invites I finished last night:

The rest of the decor coming soon!

{Happy Customers} : Zoe

Yesterday I kind of wrote my blog post as though I was writing it to all of you who have been with me for a long time. I guess I should have welcomed all the new people who might be reading...I never really thought of that, but after seeing that 500 people read my blog post yesterday, we definitely have some new PD&P fans. I hope most of you are here to stay!

So if you ARE new here...a few things... (if you're NOT new and don't want to read this, skip down to the orange text!)

1) I try to blog every day M-F. Let me emphasize TRY. I have three kids ages 5, 3, and 1, so that isn't always in the cards.

2) This blog is mostly to give people ideas for parties and keep you up to speed with projects I have been working on. You will see a lot of custom projects on my blog, though I am not technically "doing" custom work right now. Questions?? Check out "About PD&P" from the top menu.

3) If you have questions PLEASE email me! I may not always have the answer, and there are certain secrets about my products I don't give away, but for the most part I love to help people create fun parties for their kids (or baby showers, adult parties, weddings, etc!).

4) Feel free to browse a bit! I have spent hours putting party stuff (and before February maybe a little family stuff too. :) on this blog so I am pretty sure you could spend hours looking, too! I recently had a blog make-over and there are lots of fun and hopefully helpful things as well, such as "Plan the Perfect Party" & "{happy customers}"...plus lots about my family & me, why we are where we are today, and my current schedule.

Okay...so onto today's post then! Beth is a customer who has been with me since the beginning, and I now call her a friend, so she fits into the custom category. Yep, she's the one who a few weeks ago I said pretty much keeps me in business as well as handling some PR for me. She's pretty much the bomb.

This is the first project her and I worked on together for her daughter Zoe's birthday...
