Anilda's mom turned 70 and I told her of the cupcakes I do called "This Is Your Life On Cupcakes". Give me 12 words/hobbies about your loved one and I'll make something out of fondant to represent them. They had a large gathering of friends and family and enjoyed paella and wine. Happy Birthday Mrs. Cabrera!

Our church asked Ashley and I to plan a Mother/Son Event so had a pool party at her neighborhood pool. The boys didn't need any glow stick diving sticks or water balloons, the pool was enough fun!

Duck Dynasty

I made her a sign out of black foam board, camo duct tape and chalkboard pens.
Food table labels (wood grain paper on top of foam core)
 Signage
 I made the boys invitations out of scrapbook paper, then sewed on burlap. Their mom and I came up with the wording. So fun!
Willie (Browning Buck tattoo hand drawn)
-I coordinated the 3 vertical cupcakes with the person. So Willie has a duck, red/white/blue bandana and his tattoo. 
 
Si (Si put the Tea in Vietnam)
-Si had a quote, his cap and then his tea glass
 Phil ("Now we're cookig with peanut oil)
-Phil had Miss Kay, a camo bandana and his patented duck call. 
Jase ("Don't send a walrus to do a panther's job")
Jase had a duck, his black cap and frog hunting. 
 It's a party Jack!
Jep didn't make this batch but if I am asked to do these again, I might need to add his "fancy dunking shoes"! 
 Ms. Kay ("Food is the language I know how to speak")
 All together

Christy has a pool party every year for her son's birthday's and every year she plans it around a theme with games, food, etc to coordinate. This year Jackson and Anderson turned 10 and 6 and it was all about Duck Dynasty! I am a fan of the show and I was so excited she chose this theme (last year it was Lego Pirates of the Caribbean and the year before that Harry Potter found here on my site as well). This was a fun theme to work on and I am proud of the results. That's a fact Jack!
