Princess and the Frog Tea Party

I had the pleasure of planning a beautiful birthday party for a client's daughter.  When she told me that she wanted a Princess and the Frog tea party, I was ecstatic!!!  What a fun party to create for a little girl.  I really enjoyed this movie and did my best to incorporate aspects of the film into the party.  Enjoy the pictures!

Entrance Table.  Included was a treasure of princess pretties for the girls to add to their royal attire.

In the movie, Princess Tiana worked really hard to purchase her own restaurant by keeping all of her tips in a jar.  As you can see, she made it!

Birthday letter from Prince Naveen

The little princesses enjoyed learning the proper way to sip their tea...dainty pinky up!

Our version of Princess Tiana's tasty beignets.  ...powdered donuts!  

After lunch, the princesses were able to make their own pot of  "sweet gumbo".

Mason jars were the perfect containers for the "sweet gumbo" ingredients.

Cute and yummy princess frog marshmallows.

Remember Mama Odie?!  Well, the princesses moved right on over to make their own special glitter lotion.  This was a hit!

Small aprons were provided so that they wouldn't get their royal attire messy.

Sunny Side Up

What a great time planning a sunny yellow shower for mommy-to-be, Janairo. At the time, she was preparing for a precious baby boy and she really wanted to use the color yellow (her favorite). I think the sunny details came through great. Congrats, Janairo.

Happy Planning,

"One" Magnificent Garden Party

I have had the pleasure of working with some amazing mommies in planning parties for their gorgeous little girlies. This party was for little Nyla who turned one. I had a blast seeing all of the details come together for this indoor Garden Party fit for a little princess.

Happy Birthday, Princess Nyla. Enjoyed the garden party with ya!

Happy Planning,

Thankful Thoughts

I sat down at the computer for the usual "inbox" check and I received a heartfelt email from a client/friend {which happens to be related to me} that shared with me her gratitude for me and Monica assisting her with her business opening.

By no means, did I just do her event because I found out that we were related-this was an act of kindness that I truly wanted to demonstrate. I would love to do every event for free because I just "love" planning and designing but this case was different and was a donated service for the owner. Just know that when you give, it will be returned to you and in this case, I am still receiving my return. So, please no calls or emails asking me to do your event for free:)

Here's what was in my inbox this evening:

Tish, There are absolutely no words I can think of that would properly Thank You for your work you did with the business opening of Refining Images but I'll try. When I contacted you, I was simply ordering invitations and water bottle labels, that's all. Once you realized I didn't have an official coordinator for the event you unselfishly gave your time and ideas to help me pull the event together, at the last minute. The next thing I know, you drove all the way from Pine Bluff to Little Rock right after work with help in hand and was decorating my event with your own supplies and decor, and would not accept one dime from me! Who does that? It was no one but God who strategically allowed our paths to cross. You exhibit such a spirit of excellence and servant hood unlike any I have ever seen. You are the best kept secret in Pine Bluff, but not for long. I am so glad to not only have found a friend but also a sister in Christ. Rest assured that whatever event I have in the future, I will be calling on The Planning Diva Extraordinaire.

Sherri Brewer
Refining Images

Thank you so much Sherri for allowing me the opportunity to assist with your event. It was a pleasure and Monica and I had a blast. I look forward to working with you on upcoming events as well. By the way, Sherri is one of just a few Certified Image Consultants in our State. If you would like to book her for a consultation, please send me an email.

Lil Queen Bee turns 3!

I spend almost each week of every month celebrating occasions with and for others but this past weekend, I had a blast spending it with Lil' Queen Bee (LQB). She turned three on Friday (Sept. 26) and we had her party for a few little girlies on Saturday. LQB began months ago (seriously!) talking about her party from the colors, her outfit, guestlist, and even decor--she wanted pink balloons, bears, and princess stuff;) She woke up on Sunday asking me if she could have another one later on that day....kids are so funny! Here are a few pictures from the party.

10 years since High School

Last weekend, my class (Class of 1998) celebrated our 10 year reunion. Our school mascot is the Zebra and our colors are red+white. What a modern theme we had to work with! Our events started on Friday and concluded on Sunday! An entire weekend of fun and fellowship done with extreme elegance and class.

Yours truly chaired the Banquet Committee for Saturday's main event and I might add that it was extraordinary. The food, people, music, program, and most definitely the decor!
