{Owl themed surprise party!} :)

9:00 AM | Labels: , , , , , ,

I have been working on this post for a while now and it's finally done!
About a week and a half ago, I got together with my brother's girlfriend--Cheyenne to work on a last minute surprise party for our friend Megan. Megan just recently left to Rhode Island State University on a full ride soccer scholarship (pretty cool right?!).
Cheyenne and I wanted to throw a party and invite Megan's family and closest friends to say
"ta-ta for now"
and since Megan loves owls, we went with a super colorful owl themed party!
We were also on a super tight budget so a lot of things were DIY and purchased from the dollar store but still came out pretty cute!
Here are some photos of the decor and the super exciting surprise party.



See this cupcake tower? It was totally DIY from the dollar store!
See my post right here about how to make your own! :)
Read about these fun and colorful cupcakes in my last post
right here


 
These little owl pictures that we decorated in the window were actually folders (3 ring binders) that we found at the 99 cent store and we cut them up to use as decor...hey, it worked! lol

These flowers were picked from my grandmothers garden and I arranged them in this blue vase--also bought from the dollar store. :)

Cheyenne painted this tree on this large piece of neon paper and I cut out the owl and letters to glue onto the enormous goodbye card.
 
Megan had tears in her eyes when she read all of the wonderful wishes to her. :)
 


Candy, polka dots, pink and green crystal confetti and paper straws!
I told you this party was super colorful & crazy! :)
 

Balloons outside in the pool...yes, it turned into a pool party :)

Oh, and this little gecko named Sparticus!
lol

The initial surprise...
I got it on video but my computer is being weird so I can't post it right now.
Ta-Ta for now Megan!
 
We love you! :)

Cupcakes for an owl themed party! + Sneak peek of the party decor!

8:30 AM | Labels: , , , , , , , ,


About a week ago, I had some friends over for a cupcake creating night.
We were creating cupcakes for the surprise party we were planning for our friend Megan who just recently left to Rhode Island State on a full ride scholarship to play soccer there (she's quite amazing at the sport obviously! :))
My brother's girlfriend, Cheyenne and I, decided to plan a very last minute party for her and decided on the theme of owls (because Megan loves owls) and with it--came LOTS of color--but we will get to the rest of the decor of the party in another post).
Now back to the cupcakes.
The night before the party, Cheyenne and my friend Crystal came over to make lots of pretty cupcakes that went with our party theme. We started by trying to create a "tie dye" look with the icing but since our diy piping bags didn't go as planned, we just slathered the icing on our chocolate and fun-fetti cupcakes with a knife.
Then, we took all of the sprinkles we could find and just started "blinging out" the cupcakes.
 


Afterwards, we topped 15 of them off with cute owl toppers that I created a few days prior.


 


 
In the end, we created colorful little masterpieces as we called them. :)

Here is a sneak peek of the party & our cupcakes put to use.
Next post. :)
