Zebra Print, Lime and Teal Office Party

To celebrate the 4th anniversary of Rhino Chiropractic, I created a fun color scheme and focused on one area of the office.  I took these photos before the food was set out but you can get the ides:)

Spruced up water bottles using the paper scraps left over from the banner.

I was extremely thrilled when I popped into my favorite dollar store (Party @ Buck Or Two +) and discovered that the owner had just taken a balloon course down in Dallas.  She is a balloon bouquet master and she created a fantastic creation for me for a really great price!

Cute little cupcakes with flags!  I love the mini cupcake size for parties.  It is the perfect amount; kids eat the whole thing {not just the icing}, grown ups don't feel guilty taking a second one, and small = cute!

Cute cute cute!  And the fab cupcake papers?  Michaels is carrying tons of great patterns now.  Being in Canada, it is always exciting when we can get great stuff like this without having to get it shipped here.

This party was limited to one wall in the office with one table in front of it.  It was really fun to go all out and make that area amazing.  I find if you try to spread the decor out all over the place, it often gets lost.  This way, the eyes were directed to the party table and there were not tons of unnecessary decorations.

Have you ever thrown an office party?  Got any tips?

Baby Sleeping Sign

Catching up on recently finished projects...

This is a little plaque for my best friend's front door to keep that UPS guy from ringing the doorbell at nap time!

This was so easy to make and I just love how it turned out.

Ingredients:
-wooden plaque from Michael's
-paint
-1 1/2 yards ribbon
-rhinestones
-hot glue
-scrapbook paper, tissue paper, wrapping paper..
-school glue
-spray coating
-Sharpie

I painted the plaque, used my finger to spread school glue down where I wanted the paper flowers, then spread the glue over the flowers as well.  This is my cheap and easy version of Mod Podge. (That's how my Mom did it back when there was no such thing as Mod Podge:)  You can use the "real stuff" if you feel better about that and have lots of cash to blow.

I hot glued the rhinestones, wrote the message with a Sharpie, and sprayed the whole thing with a matte spray coating.  Then I attached the ribbon to the back with hot glue and the cute little bows went on last as an afterthought that I think just put it over the top in the cute department!

You can make this!  it does not have to be for a sleeping baby, it can be for a big kid's room with their name on it or perhaps a "please knock".  If you make one, please share, I'd love to see your version!!
