Sweet Greetings Everyone!!! Oh do I have a FUN SUGARY SPARKLEY post for you! Well, I've been a bit busy in my sugar filled creative world busily working on a custom order for a very dear customer and friend of mine named Rosanna. MANY of you know Rosanna because she is a very loyal customer and loves beautiful, whimsy, and pretty things as we all do. I've had the pleasure and opportunity of working with her in the past and when Rosanna contacted me and pesonally asked me to help make her daughter Nicole's 7th birthday extra "SPECIAL" and "OVER THE TOP" I was flattered and very honored to do so. So I put my creative thinking cap on and this is what glittery sweet filled yummies I made especially for Nicole.
I made 40 glittered cupcake lollipop invitations with sweet little princess Nicole sitting on top of the cupcake.
Wouldn't you just love to be one of the children receiving this cupcake lollipop invitation?
Rosanna had asked if I could make party favors for the children, so instead of opting for a traditional goodie bag. Im made these SO SO CUTE Candy Bear party favors.
Hee! Hee! They look so darling standing like little soldiers.
Little "Grazie" tags.
This one is made especially for Nicole.
Rosanna had seen my cute cupcake toppers and requested I make one for Nicoles cake. I opted to make Nicole's a birthday princess theme.
I can just see her now sitting on top of a white sugary confection cake!
Ooooooh and NOW I've saved the BEST for LAST!!! Rosanna asked me to make a special birthday centerpiece for the party. Right away I dreamt up something so incredibly girlie and PERFECT for the BIRTHDAY GIRL!
She is a brunette southern belle birthday assemblage centerpiece. She wears a large chicken wire hoop skirt that is adorned with ALL sorts of girlie lovelies and pretties.
I've used glitter paper, pink paper streamer, paper roses, and lace to create the base of the centerpiece.
Cupcake charms, ballerinas, butterflies OH MY!!!!!
The back of the hoop skirt.
I truly LOVE this piece!!!!! I had SO much FUN creating it. With all the fanciful sweet bits how could you NOT??? LOL!
Happy 7th Birthday Miss Nicole! I hope ALL your birthday wishes come true!!!
You must also check out the birthday fabric book that my girlfriend Cheryl made especially for Nicole. Rosanna comissioned Cheryl to make one and about DIED when I layed eyes on it. I had a HUGE SUGAR RUSH!!! ME WANT ONE !!!! Look at this page. EEK!!!! LOVE!!!
Well girliefriends I hope you are enjoying this music (even tho' some might turn their speakers down, which is totally cool!) I LOVE old skool Madonna! Im excited to SHARE that Moi and my BFF from High School Krisite are flying to Chicago for a girls weekend and to see Madonna perform in concert! WHOO-HOO!
This is a photo taken of Kris and I several years ago.
Next couple of weeks are BUSY BUSY! I have a special Aussie friend flying in town next week.hee! hee! I think you all might know who she is. ;) We are flying to NYC for a few days, and than onto SILVER BELLA!!!! Omigosh! Im SERIOUSLY counting the days! Im so giddy with excitement!!!
Please note I will not be taking any custom orders from now until January. We all know the holiday hustle and bustle will be upon us SOON!
Thank you as always for stopping by! Have a wonderful weekend and HAPPY CREATING!!!!
Hugs & Kisses!!!!

Jenn your creations for Nicole are simply amazing! Rosanna must be so over the moon ~ they are full of sweetness and are totally wonderful!
Have the most WONDERFUL time in Chicago (and tell Madonna her fans here were very cranky she snobbed Australia on her "world" tour when she said she'd come! I have a very sad friend, lol!).
Can't wait to SEE you in 6 days!!! Eek!!!! And look out NYC, we're coming! xoxo
