Party Prep

My little Hailiegh bug's party has passed and it was a complete success. Here's some photos of the preparations...

 Aunt Ashley (me) hanging the birthday banner
 Mommy filling the gift boxes
 Me again, mixing up the buttercream...very red buttercream
 Decorating the giant cupcake...don't judge my icing bag holding technique...I was just trying to get the job done at this point.  Lindzy's mommy added some powdered sugar to my cheek for some extra photo "cuteness". LOL
Teaching (or pretending to do so) birthday girl's daddy how to decorate a cupcake.

Chocolate...nuff said

We've all heard of the Pampered Chef and Mary Kay parties.  But have you heard of a Chocolate Party!!??  Well, don't worry, I'm here to enlighten you!!  Just like those personal business companies (Lia Sophia, Scentsy, Michebag, etc.) you have a company rep come to your home & show you the products, and we all place our orders.  However, this type of party is a little different.  Why you ask...UMM, HELLO! IT'S CHOCOLATE!!!  Who doesn't love Chocolate? Actually, me...I don't care one bit for Chocolate...usually.  But this isn't your typical Hershey bar!  About a week ago, I dropped my boy off at a friend's home so I could do a photo shoot.  When I returned to pick my boy up, she convinced me to sample some of the chocolate that she sells.  IT WAS AMAZING.   She had mentioned several times off and on that I should host a party for her, but considering I'm not that into chocolate and I'm on a diet, I kinda put the idea on the back burner.  That was until I she tortured me with a single taste! I was SOLD!  Within a week, my Dove Chocolate Discoveries Party was underway.  My turnout was awesome, considering I had only planned it 5 days earlier.  I also was amazed at the amount of sales we got, considering the lack of success from my previous Lia Sophia and Pampered Chef parties.  I believe 2 girls booked their own parties from mine, and I plan to have another one around Christmas (I smell presents!)  I'm also considering a blog giveaway, because 1: you all NEED to experience the sheer bliss my tongue experienced and 2: It'd be nice to give my friend a little networking boost.  However, I'd like to get at least 50 followers before I do it, so send your bloggy friends my way.  In the meantime, feel free to check out my friends' website and definately look into hosting your own Dove Chocolate Party in the near future!

Shower Planning #2

Well I'm waaaayy...behind on updating my blog. But I have an excuse, I've been fullfilling my maid of honor duties. :) Well, the shower has come and gone and it was a lovely success, in my opinion.  We had strawberry mimosa's, chocolate covered strawberries, a beautiful cake (designed & decorated by my mother). We also went to see the movie Bridesmaids after, it was hillarious BTW.  Below are a few photos I captured at the shower, for more you can check out the bride's blog post here.
