Per Your Request

I've had some requests lately for pictures from my last two celebrations.  I'm too lazy to edit them and make them all pretty and glowy and I'm probably going to be too lazy to really document anything about them.  But hey, most of you just look at pictures anyways.  One day, when I'm not too lazy to edit them and make them all pretty and glowy, I'm going to start a new blog that will feature all my knock-off ideas. One that will have tagged pictures and be Googleable.  But it will have to wait for a day when I'm feeling a tad more confident and ambitious than I am now....

So, without further ado, here's more pictures than you could ever hope to be forced to look at.  Sorry for making them individual, it's just easier for the two people who may want to re-post them.


I've intentionally omitted all pictures with people in them since this is not a post intended for journaling.  So if you were at either celebration, please don't fret over not making the cut. 


Mickey Mouse Birthday Party...



 Cupcakes made by Rachael...







 Cake made by Mallary...
 Photos taken by Lisa...

Vintage Birthday (some pictures are a little cut off due to size, please excuse them)...
 There's a lot I would change about this gathering if I could.  Like adding lemon slices to the vases...


 Cake by Mallary (sorry about the crappy lighting, the settings on my camera were wonky and I'm too lazy to edit)...

 I would have blown up the balloons more so they didn't have the stupid dark spot on the bottom...
I wish I would have taken pictures with the plates on the table and I wish I would have added doilies underneath them (they were clear plastic plates)...



 I hung these up at the last minute and by myself so I didn't notice the wonky spacing until I looked at the pictures...dang it...



 Best. Cake. Ever.  My mouth is watering remembering the goodness...


It was fun to try out new ideas with both parties.  There's a lot of things I loved enough to do again and some definite tweaking or adding before I throw another party.  I'm also going to start expanding my guest list now that I have a better feel for how many people I can comfortably accommodate.  I will accept monetary bribery to be added to the guest list.

Color me jealous and drooling...Seriously, you go above and beyond and then make it seem like it was no work at all, all 50's house wife-ish. The pictures look great, and the party was just as cute if not cuter in person. Give yourself a big ole pat on your back...and if you can't reach it, just have Jason do it...he might aim a little lower tho...sicko

Love all of it, Amy! You are amazing. Remind me to enlist your help at my next gathering...er, wait, I really don't do parties. ;) That cake looks seriously yummy. And I want to drink out of those jam jars. And the grass planters? Probably totally stupid question, but did you buy them, grow them? How? They make me happy. Oh, and the cut off pictures are totally my fault. Someday I will expand your blog white-space so you can fit pictures on it properly. Or, if you're sick of it, I promise not to be offended if you want to scrap it and make yourself a new template. ;) Miss you!!

So Alicia wasn't kidding when she said you and Rachael create the most amazing parties! I love everything but those jar glasses are adorable!!! And your photos are really really good! I am super impressed, have already hired Alicia to do some cakes this fall...do you ladies hire out? :) Amy Cazier

Great job, Amy! You've solved the problem of not knowing whose glasses are whose. Love the little flags on the straws. I may have to try that one!

See? I brag about your party-throwing skills to other people. That's how good I think you are. And these pics only prove me right. Amazing. Oh, and I fully expect to be added to the guest list.

I don't have money to bribe you with, but I would totally make you something yummy to eat. Would that work? :) Cute ideas! I'll call for sure next time I want to throw a grown up party.
