Creative Parties and Showers

It's no secret that I love Shannon......She's my home girl who designed the latest edition of this blog design. She also designs all our larger sponsor buttons if needed. The girl is full of creative ideas. I featured her other blog Eight Crazy shortly after starting TCB. So it was at no surprise I would LOVE her new venture at blogging. If you have a party to plan, or a shower........this site is going to be your go to friend.

Creative Parties and Showers

What's going to be so great about this site, is that you can submit your own party that you're so proud of. Share all your great ideas with others..........or maybe you need ideas for an upcoming event. This site will eventually be the hub of anything and everything party!

Here's a great bowling party idea. She did the cupcakes.......creating her own cookie cutter for the bowling pins...........even hit up a floor store for a pergo sample........What I love about Shannon?..........she thinks outside the box.

This cake below was from her son's party.......she decorates amazing cakes too...........With this party she personalized an airplane pinata.......I was going to show it here, but I don't want to give it all away. You'll see it when you visit her new site.

With my son's birthday in the winter, it's always a struggle deciding whether to have his party at our home, or off site where they do everything for you. Hmmmmm........15 wild boys in my home...........or somewhere else with no clean up. As you can imagine I usually opt for the off site location........but when he was smaller, that wasn't the case..........like the year I had a pirate party.

Shannon had a pirate party too..........I knew I liked her............I have to admit hers turned out WAY cuter. In my defense.............my son's pirate party was BEFORE any of this pirate stuff was out. It was hard finding anything piraty..........I'm tellin ya.

Love the treasure map she did.I wish she would have had this blog before I planned mine...........this is a great idea for party bags. (you know how I feel about party bags...........I personally think they should be banned. I think I'll start a group on facebook..........Ban the party bag!)And the cake............it looks so professional............wanna see the one I made? LOL....... It ended up being a ship wreck......it fell apart. Don't you love the blue tissue I used for the water? With fish and all. But guess what..........my son thought it was cool and so did all his friends.

You can check out the treasure map I did...........but it was actually for his bedroom, not the party. Still cute.

Don't know if you've noticed.......but parties aren't what they used to be.............they are events.........and by golly we need help with ideas......because not all of us have that LDS gene.......(Shannon is not LDS, so don't say I said she was, not that there's anything wrong with that....... but she is just as Holy) ....Thank God there are over achieving women like Shannon out there to make us look good. I can't wait to see what she has in store for this blog.........Remember if you have a cool party or shower you organized and you have some really cool photos to prove it.........submit them to Shannon.

Have a great weekend everyone...........go eat a cupcake.
