When one of my closest buddies, Leah, asked me to be a god-mother to her bundle of joy, Julia Lauren, I was completely honored and happy. Leah requested my assistance in preparing for Julia’s Dedication and 1st Birthday party. I was so thrilled of course! And to my delight, her theme was a personal favorite, shabby chic!
I was thrilled to be in charge of the dessert table! I decorated it with fabric-covered letters and hand-stitched mini buntings that were intricately made with LOVE =)
Raquel baked apple squares, a tasty recipe from her mommy =)
Leah entrusted me to work on the party favors. With the theme in mind, I came up with these pretty pastel-colored hankies.
She wanted to give cupcakes as tokens to Julia’s godparents. I’ve spent sleepless nights thinking of how to make these yummies even more special… Thanks to Google, I found cupcakes in a jar!!! My craft zizters and I collaborated on this scrumptious project. Geli baked red velvet bars with cream cheese frosting and Ella made handwritten tags. They had been so enthusiastic with working with me on this project! Together we came up with this. =) Isn’t it so delectable-looking! It really is a sweet treat! Merci beaucoup gurlz!!!
It took me more or less a hundred hours to conceptualize, source, collaborate, and make by hand these pretty little things. I’m a very tired girl with a very happy heart!
