On Saturday night Kali, Alex and Eli went to a Christmas party at Kathy and John’s house to celebrate the season with lots of their favorite people. Santa took a little time out of his busy schedule to visit and the children enjoyed seeing him and making great memories! Here are a few of my favorite photos Krista took that night. Santa was happy to see the children … then he was gone in a Flash! ;)

A Little More Christmas Cheer
Our kitchen and dining areas are decorated in a fun Christmas collection of red, white and lime green. I started this collection in the past few years and really love that its so whimsical and playful. I’m enjoying our holiday gatherings and looking forward to having a wonderful Christmas Eve celebration at our home with the family.

Our Angel in Saddle Oxfords
Our little Kali was an angel in one of the cutest Nativity scenes I have ever seen. A friend of mine commented on how cute our angel was in her school shoes, I thought it was a fitting title for today’s post. She was an adorable angel and so proud to have been chosen to participate in the Nativity at Christmas Mass this morning. Her Mama, Aunt Erica and I were able to be there to celebrate this beautiful occasion with her.
Have a very Merry Christmas!

Daisy Winter Craft
I didn’t have a lot of time to figure this one out, but knew that it had to have a winter theme since they may or not get around to putting it together at the Christmas meeting and didn’t want it to be ‘out of season’ if they worked on it in January. I cut all the pieces for the girls because of time constraints at the meeting and included all the necessary beads, flowers and parts for the snowman in a ziplock bag. I put together a sample for the girls to follow and sent glue and a hot glue gun with Krista to the meeting so that they could hot glue the orange ‘nose’ bead on as it wouldn’t stick with regular white glue in the time frame they were working on. Krista said the girls had a nice time visiting and working on their craft at the meeting and they were all very proud of their little snowman bags. She’s going to bring photos from the meeting/party later today and I will share them soon!
I adore the ‘Daisy’ we added to our snowman to represent the club! Happy Holidays to you and yours!

Kali and her Daisy Christmas
Kali had a very important task tonight, bringing the treats and snacks for her Daisy meeting. We also put together a little holiday gift for her friends along with a craft for all of them to participate in. I’ll share the details about the craft tomorrow.
After we chose the type of cookie she wanted to feature on a recipe card, I found a good one in my cook book and designed a digital card using Kate Hadfield’s little spoon and cookie elements from her adorable Coffee and Cupcakes kit. You can find it HERE. I topped it off with a sweet bow from Ronna Penner’s “Essential Notions” Kit.
I slipped it into a little cello bag with a blueberry candy cane and a pretty lime green spatula for making cookies. I made a sweet little Daisy tag and added red and green ribbon along with a jingle bell to the top of the package.
The blue reminds me of the Daisy apron that the girls wear at their meetings. Kinda cute huh?
The girls loved their treat from Kali and I had fun making them!
Christmas at our Home
We’ve got the decorations up and the tree decorated… and presents wrapped and under (and around ;) the tree.
Here are a few peeks at what its looking like!

Nutcracker Ballet
This past week Kali was surprised by Elf with tickets to the ballet and today she and her cousin Kayla went with Krista and MeMe to see the Nutcracker Ballet in Lafayette.
I took a few photos of the girls before they left. Kayla was in her Santa jumper and Kali wore the little ballet themed smocked dress I got her a few months ago at a craft show. They were so excited, I can’t wait to hear how they enjoyed it when they come to visit again!

Party Planning Fun!
When my friend Keisha asked for help putting together a construction party for her cousin’s little boy Nash who was turning three, I said a quick yes! I love working with her, she’s got great ideas and we work well together. She designed the cupcake toppers and water bottle label. We worked on the color scheme and pulled together some cute ideas for a great party package. Her cousin loved everything and was so excited to put on this party for her son. Working women everywhere need a little help and we’re happy to help!
I’m very interested in taking on some one on one clients to custom design parties for their little ones. Whether its a birthday, tea party or special occasion party… I love making their party dreams come true. You can contact me at luckaty@yahoo.com and we can figure out what your party needs are and go from there.
Here’s a photo of the party package, there are more photos to be seen if you click on the photo. Everything was designed with Misty Cato’s adorable “Construction Ahead” kit. She sells her digital scrapbooking kits at SweetShoppeDesigns.com.
The images I have on this website are samples of the types of items that can be custom designed for your party, not all graphics are available for use due to copyright. Alternatives can be found to make your custom party just as fabulous!
