Lorelys Maia's Alice in Wonderland Birthday

We had such a blast on my daughter's third birthday. I did a Tea Party theme inspired on Alice in Wonderland. I designed all the paper goodies and here is my second attempt to make a sweets table... I learned a copule of things on the way and want to share them with you on another post... but first see the pics and bring on those comments!

 

The chocolate goodies above were done by Edu, a local artisan, they are actually typical Puertorrican candies like guava, cocconut and "polvorones" covered in chocolate... something you can only find in Puerto Rico! Visit Edu here!

We covered the cupcakes with tulle because living in a tropical island, mosquitoes are an everyday issue... but I ended up loving the way they look.

I hope you enjoyed the pics and stay tuned because I am working on the tutorial for the cupcake stands! I was so happy to have such a great response in Facebook for those...Thank you!

More Alice in Wonderland Goodies: Mini Menus

I just created some menus for a local event, and had the idea of creating this mini menus for the kids table. They look so little and cute! Enjoy and keep those comments coming in... I want to know if you are still out there!

 And pics of the little cutie on top of the cutie mini paper cupcake stand...
Again, please excuse the pics, but my poor camera is dying!

Don't forget to keep sharing the Mini Cupcake Stands post on Facebook, when the post gets 15 shares, I will share a free tutorial on how to make this little cuties. They are very sturdy and easier to make than you think... I am a scientist so I experimented and developed a method to do it! Yeah, so weird, but that's how I am!

Mini Paper Cupcake Stands!

I had started to see this cupcake stands popping up all over the internet, even with tutorials in you tube for how to do them. So I definitely wanted to design some of my own, specially after seeing the ones from Hello Hannah at Amy Atlas! Cuteness in a cupcake stand...

With the birthday of my daughter coming soon, I decided to design my own to match the birthday theme of course, Alice in Wonderland! And here is how they turned out!

You will have to excuse the photography, but the sensor in my camera has a crack... yeah so sad! That's the best I could do! I need a new camera!

Do you want a tutorial on this cute cupcake stands? Yes? Well, If I get at least 15 Facebook shares on this post, I will do a tutorial... so start sharing with the handy little button in the upper right of this post. Comment here if you shared this on Facebook or just to say a nice thing. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

It's that time of the year again!

Yep, my daughter's birthday is coming soon and I have been doing some things to celebrate in style! I am so behind with my blog, so please excuse me... I am in the last stage of my PhD which means craziness all over! I am designing stuff for her birthday and printing/cutting at night when I get home... but I love it! Of course I want to share the little things I am doing for Lorelys Maia's third birthday with all of you, my loyal readers! Just like I did last year.

I decided on the "Alice in Wonderland Tea Party" inspired theme which is a movie that my daughter loves (the original movie). This is the invitation that I designed, I just love how it looks. I incorporated the tea party elements and a colorful palette, it is unlike anything I had seen before and that's what I like the most about it!

Stay tuned for the rest of the things I will be doing... including some cute paper mini cupcake stands inspired by Hello Hanna!

Alice in Wonderland and Goodbye for Now!

I have two announcements:

First - I am really thinking about doing an Alice in Wonderland Party for Lorelys Maia's 3rd birthday!

Second - Classes are going to start soon, so I will not have a lot of time to update my blog :( I don't know if I told you before, but I am currently writing my thesis and I was recently hired to teach full time at a small college, so between that, my daughter, my husband and house I will have my hands full!

But this is definitely not goodbye! I will keep updating on everything I prepare for Lorelys Maia's birthday and any other interesting things I see, but it will not be on a consistent basis so keep coming occasionally... and make sure to follow my blog to see my new updates in your dashboard... maybe you will find something you love and of course I will read every one of your sweet comments!

Thank you for being the heart of this blog, I am thrilled that my little blog has more than 100 followers... Thank you, thank you and thank you a million times!

But for now I want to share some pics I saw on Google Images from the new Alice in Wonderland movie and some digital changes I did to them... if one of the pics is yours and you want me to remove it or give credit please tell me and I will!

 This is a pic of an invitation I saw someplace on google images (can't remember) and I changed it to create a cute teaser for the Lorelys Maia in Wonderland upcoming Birthday Party. This is a great idea for the actual party invitation.

I love the idea of small tables with different table clothes.

See you later my sweet friends!
