Teachers Gifts




It's always hard to find unique and quality gifts at an affordable price for gift giving. I found something, which I think teachers will utlize and use.

I found these beautiful personalized memo pads from Sweet Life Paper on Etsy

I made coordinating magnets to compliment the memo pads.

This is a wonderful gift that teachers will not re-sell at their yearly garage sale where they sell their numerous mugs and picture frames that they receive during the holiday season.

My Son's Birthday Brunch




My children love being with our family. They love to go on family vacations, and spending their birthday with their extended family. This year my son requested a Sunday Brunch with the "Famiglia". I had set up a beautiful buffet, of greek yogurt parfait, french toast, turkey breakfast sausages, and a delicious cremini mushroom and swiss chard quiche (visit marthastweart.com for the recipies or the current edition of her magazine).

What a success. We all ate like pigs and chatted. The finishing touch to his birthday was a delicious tiramisu ice cream cake. Yup, I made it all. Tiring but worth it.

The guests all took home expresso pound cake with two sachets of the new Via coffee from Starbucks.

Halloween






It was quite a busy day for us on Halloween. We had a birthday party early afternoon for my niece at the Funnery in Newmarket. It was quite amazing. An indoor playground for the children. There's a lounge area where the parents can relax, have refreshments while their children play. All guests at the party had to dress up. It was quite fun!

The Funnery is located at 611 Steven Court, Unit 3, Newmarket, Ontario L3Y 6Z2
(P) 905-252-1619 (F) 905-418-0242

The Funnery Play Park

After the party we hurried home and prepared ourselves for a fun night Trick or Treating. Trick or Treaters were greated at the door by my husband dressed as the Ghost Rider. The wee ones were a little scared but most of the boys thought he was really cool!

New Pillow Design Blast Off


A special request was made by little Lucas' auntie for us to make him a spaceship pillow. Lucas loves spaceships. So we made this cute pillow which we love! We have now added this design to our collection which is only available in the 16" size to accommodate the design.

Lucas you are so lucky to have a thoughtful auntie!

We are so honored to make this for you! Enjoy!

Halloween Craft Ideas







Last year we hosted my nieces first birthday party. Her theme was Halloween. We created Halloween crafts that were easy, cute and everyone enjoyed (including the moms). Everyone dressed up for the occasion which was really fun too! My sister-in-law is very crafty. She purchased re-usable bags at a local dollar store and had the kids stencil their halloween bags we (they) also made fun pipe cleaner spiders!

How fun! When I was a kid we had to play pin the tail on the donkey - boring!
