Greeting Cards

When was the last time you actually wrote a greeting card? With all the wide range and assortment that stores have, come chose and get one for someone special. That I miss, blame technology, blame FB, twitter and other social media, well excuse to people who are miles away, but hey it's never to late to go back to basic, eh?

So get one! I just did, since my Mom and Dad doesn't have FB with no plans of having one, and they'll be celebrating their 46th wedding anniversary on February 14, yes, Valentine's day. I always see to it that they'll receive greetings cards from me and my sibs on their special day, oh and that made me think of buying the Husband, and oh am making one for Travis too, hope he'll appreciate it. 

                 

Make those red pens ready too. 

Q: Do you spray his or your fave perfume on cards? 

To My Mom

Happy Birthday to You!!! 

You are the BEST! I love you! 

PS, by the time I reach your age (praying that I will) I know I'll look like you! 

2012, the Year that Was and Here's to 2013

Am missing so much here.
But not on my Instagram.

I'm thinking where to start again.
Maybe this ones okay.

Be Our Guest ( Planning Travis' 2nd Birthday Party)

He's two now. Okay, 22 days ago, he was officially Two years old. And every day he still amuses us with how he sees the world around him, he can speak 3-4 words, he speaks like a man only with little voice, maybe because the Daddy and I decided not to baby talk him. Whenever we ask him if he's okay, he'll nod and answer "Yah!" 

Now, let me share how I planned their party, I did it for a month, yes, blame the busy Mom in me. 

1. Venue. Barrington Place, Skydeck, Congressional Ave, Quezon City, click here for more details.

    Since we can't fit in our house, I looked for that one place that's new and near our house. So I checked this place and it was available, I immediately booked it for August 12. Yay! Actually I thought of fast food restaurant who doubles as party venue too, but the Husband and I doesn't want a limited two hours of party, who wants that right? So we opted to the place. As you see, we had the full place all to us and our family, relatives and friends. We can dance anywhere. 

2. Dessert Buffet and Cake. SisterArt.

    Here's SisterArt FB Page.

    For all you know Kim and Rica of SisterArt has been my favorite, they've been with my family special event since 2008. There's no event in our household that you won't see SisterArt's artistic and tasteful and yummy pastries, cake and cupcakes. You can see how we build our friendship here, she's a supplier turned friend and Travis' Godmother too. 

     SisterArt made Travis one great dessert buffet with personalized chocolates and water bottles too, isn't that cool?

With us is Kim and Rica's beautiful family. 

3. Party Host, Assistant, Magician and Ventriloquist, Balloon, Mascot. And everything in     between in a party. (I got their Sweet Party Caravan Package) 

   With the help of Ms. Roschelle owner of Sweet Party Memories, I had them all. Big thank for Party planners like them. 

We got his favorite Buzz Lightyear Mascot. 

4. Invitation Design and Printing. 

    April  of  Artisan Design Studio, has been my savior when it comes to invitation design. Check her FB page here: http://www.facebook.com/designsofartisan She designs for his invites, cupcakes toppers, thank you cards and stickers, oh and she printed them out too. 

5. Photobooth. 

   Since the venue has their accredited photobooth, we had iFlick. 

    Details here: http://www.facebook.com/iflicknorth

    Avail of their 4 hours package and their green screen background for more choices of backgound and additional 1 hour photo magnets as our guest souvenirs. 

6. Food.

   Ate Leny's Catering, Ate Leny is my sis-in-law's sister. And I have everything covered. Thanks      Ate Leny. I'm assured that food is perfect. 

Ate Leny is on the left in red.

 7. Photocoverage by Sophia Photography. 

     Visit their FB page here: http://www.facebook.com/sophiaphotography

     Their tandem was the best, so far. They got each guest a solo shots, that's a plus. And captures every laugh and smiles.

8. Cakes and Cakepops by CakeTerrific by Aicel and Sabie. 

    Visit their FB Page here: http://en-gb.facebook.com/CaketeRrific

    

Planning took me almost two months. All smiles and laughter made me realize it's all worth it. 

Thank you to my family, relatives and friends who spent their family day with us. From my family to yours, BIG Thank You. and may God bless us all.
