Katie has 2 beautiful daughters

Rainy days and Mondays always get me down...

Since today is both a rainy day and a Monday
I put a little something on the front porch to make everyone smile.
I finally found a use for my daughter's tiny Burberry boots
I can't bear to give away!

Chic Birthday Tribute

I have worked on quite a few "milestone" birthdays.
~
Jennifer has such a simple, elegant style
I wanted to convey that in the design and packaging.
A scalloped card together with the explanation letter
and return envelope
were placed in cellophane and topped
with a glittered birthday cake.
~
Isn't anything more fun to open in cellophane?

A SPA-cial Party for a Special Girl

An evening of pampering is in store for Hilary and her friends
to celebrate her 9th Birthday.
The perfect way to relax after the holidays
and the first week back at school.
The favors are a silk sleep mask,
a fun jumbo nail file with a lot of bling
and a giant bath fizzy.

It should be a SPA-tacular time...
Happy Birthday Hilary!
