Skyler's 10th Birthday Costume Party

I had the privilage of doing a Birthday party for a little girl named Skyler. The theme was balck, purple and lime green. The order of the party was a mad science table, decorate your own bag, spider pinata, decorate cookies, pin-the-creepy eyes on Sklyer and lots of laughs!! The Menu consisted of black candied apples, mummy dogs, mummy calzones, purple peanut butter balls, purple passion punch.

I had a blast!



Stationary was bought online at Tom Kat Studios.

West Wedding

The Few Pictures I had time to take do not do it justice. This was a very creative wedding and will post some more soon.
