Paris in February!

During the last part of January, I received an email from the fabulous Misty Rodda, of Misty Rodda Photography, regarding her little girl's 5th Birthday, which was coming up just around the corner.  I met Misty a few years ago through a mutual friend.  Now, if anyone knows her, or has had the opportunity to work with her, you will understand why I was looking forward to working on this project.  And, while I took care of party invitations, cupcake toppers and some of the decorations, much of what you see can be attributed to her own creativity. 

First off, I have to share, looking at these pictures makes me smile a bit.  Only because the original plan for the party included transforming their home into a spa for 8 to 10 little girls.  It was once we began talking over ideas and colors and activities for the party that it somehow emerged into a beautiful, Parisian Soiree!      

Can you imagine being a 5-year-old girl and walking into all of this!  Not abandoning the "spa" idea completely, the girls attending were given a manicure in the Salon and played dress-up in the Boutique.  Misty drew a AMAZING Eiffel Tower for the girls to play a game of "Pin the Butterfly to the Eiffel Tower".  And of course, they were treated to delicious cupcakes! 

 

  And the look on that sweet face...

well, that is why I absolutely, positively LOVE, LOVE, LOVE what I do!
