BollyWood Party
Recently I had the opportunity to put together a sweet sixteen party for a sweet girl in my church. I only had 5 days to do it though! I think it turned out great, and the girls had a blast! we put a small canopy that was borrowed inside the living room and decorated it like a tent. The girls did Henna, and Bollywood make up by me. Then Affordable Excellence Photography came over and did professional pictures for the girls. Everything we used came from the dollar store, or donations from friends. The cost of the whole party was $70.00!
I bought the charger plate for .99 at walmart, and the plastic elephant at the dollar store. Then I spray painted the elephant gold. We made the small candle holders out of mason jars, glass paint, and gold puffy paint.
We scattered rose petals all over the floor, pillows, tables, buffet and a pathway to enter the party.
BollyWood make up on the birthday girl.

Card Sets
Enjoying this beautiful fall day and getting ready to work on some card sets for Christmas.I think this set will be really fun. I'm changing the graffiti on the wall depending on what type of card it is. You can fin some of the graffiti fonts here. I absolutely love Kenny K's images! And when you combine them with backgrounds from Make it Crafty, it's shear perfection!

Saying Goodbye
Today I'm leaving to take my 18 year old son to California. It's very bittersweet...I'm excited for his new adventure, and sad to see him go. I'm so fortunate that God entrusted this little miracle to my care, and gave me all this time to watch him grow. I can't wait to see what's in store for him next.
