the ants go marching 2 x 2... hurrah...hurrah

my newest party was a custom order

for a client.

she requested a picnic theme

with a childlike feel.

i knew i wanted to use ants

and of course red gingham. i thought

the black polka dots

coordinated well with the red.

new motivation

i am trying to get myself motivated to take on some

new home improvement projects.

now that my etsy store is a success,

i'm having trouble finding the time...

these 3 kids i have aren't helping either!

maybe if i show you all some
projects in real need of attention,
i will be more motivated!

although i'm not big on modern furniture,
i found this great wallpaper on allmodern.com

it looks like beadboard and you can even paint it!

 

i'm think about using it inside this closet:

or on the inside of this:

{there used to be doors on this pre-toddlers}

and hopefully someday on the ceiling in here:

{someday meaning the day when i can pay someone to do it}

 my goal is to have an "after" picture soon!

i can't forget buzz!

i get lot of requests for buzz lightyear

items to go along 

with all the woody and jessie decorations

i make.

i just helped someone do a party

where she had the best ideas.

 she had a table with all the food

that was woody and jessie themed.

but then she also had a dessert table

that was buzz themed.

i am so jealous of her creativity in

naming the foods. 

here were a few of the labels i made her:

"hamm sandwiches"

"mr. potato head chips"

"woody's watering hole"

cute right?

she wanted a sign for the dessert table

that said "star command sweets"

 so here is what i came up with:

{these pics are in my family room...
not at her party!!!}

 the background paper was a dark blue

glitter paper

and i LOVE these letters!

aren't the little star cutouts so great?!

 buzz & alien toppers
