Party Planning

Happy Thursday, the weekend is almost here! My mom is turning 50 next Wednesday and I am wanting to throw her a small party and I am trying to think of cute, unique ways to decorate, food, etc. I was hoping you all would have ideas to share!

I did a search on Pinterest to see what ideas I could find there and there wasn't very many for a 50th birthday. Here are a few things I did find.

Please let me know if you have ANY suggestions. I want to make this a special day for my mom! :)

Weekend of Cupcakes & Edible Flower Arrangements

The bridal shower went well yesterday! My mom made edible flower arrangements so I took pictures of it all so I could share it with you! I also want to reveal the cupcakes that I made.

How was everyones weekend? Did you do anything interesting? My mom and I went to Tuscaloosa Friday to take back some of my work supplies and bring back some of my clothes from my apartment down there. My brother was also in Tuscaloosa that day for orientation. He registered for classes so he is officially a UA student!

Saturday I made cupcakes all day and then that night my sunday school class had a get together and we ate and played games all night. It was a great time.

Sunday after church we had the bridal shower. Here are the pictures:

Don't they look delicious?

The cupcake!

What do you think about the cupcakes?

One Lovely Blog Award

Last week I was honored to receive the "One Lovely Blog" award from Life with Elizabeth! I am supposed to share 7 facts about myself and then pass on to 15 other lovely blogs!

1. I love to decorate and plan for parties. I love when someone in my family or friends have a birthday because I like to go all out! I would love to plan parties for a living!

Emily's Princess Party

Jake's Farm Party

Super Bowl Party: Saints vs. Colts

My birthday party with family

Bama gameday party

2. I want to open my own bakery. Since I have been decorating cakes and cupcakes I would love to open my own shop. I know this will not happen anytime soon, but it's ok to dream :)

3. For the next 3 weeks I will be employed as a transfer advisor at a community college, but since the job is based on a grant and it will end in the next few weeks, I will then be unemployed :( I have really enjoyed this job and hopefully I will be able to find one like it very soon!

4. I am obsessed with elephants! While attending school at the University of Alabama I would buy stuffed elephants and now I have a large collection. Here is the latest one from my Easter basket! He is sooo cute :)

5. I am excited that May is just around the corner! May is one of my most favorite months besides December because it always means school is getting out, summer is approaching and last but not least... My Birthday!!! Yesterday, actually was a month until my birthday and I forgot to post about it. I take birthdays very serious. haha If I could I would most definitely celebrate all month long! I did come up with celebrating "birthday eve" :)

6. I am a tv addict. Living away from friends and family this past year has been a little bit lonely so I consoled myself with tv shows. Each night I would have certain ones to watch to make the time go by faster. I just recently started watching The Vampire Diaries and love it! A few shows I could never get enough of are.. Friends, Sex & the City, The Hills, Grey's Anatomy, The Bachelor, One Tree Hill and several more.

7. I am obsessed with bows! I don't necessarily wear them in my hair, but I really do like them. My friends have bought me rings, necklaces, shirts, etc adorned with bows. I posted my new sunglasses that have bows on the side here. I recently found a pair I want to get from Sick For Cute:
