Gingerbread House Party Feature
Posted on December 11, 2014 Leave a Comment
For my monthly DIY party planning over at Established California, I chose to do a fun spread on getting your girlfriends together to create not your ordinary gingerbread house…but a SPARKLY one using glitter, gold, and washi tape! I wanted to think outside of the norm and create a more themed party using red, green, and white candies instead of the usual colorful assortment that comes with the kit.
Now, for some washi fun! We washi tape everything…presents, cards, boxes, etc., and since it’s so easy to pick some up ($1 bins at Target and even Scotch makes some) why not washi a gingerbread house which is less messy and more fun to decorate with! There are so many fun colors and prints right now at Target so it’ll be easy to find which ones you want to set up and buy.

Birthday Surprises!

I had an entire weekend of celebrating my birthday and I felt so loved by my family and friends! I love celebrating anyone’s birthday because I love surprising them with gifts and love watching their reactions as they open their presents- it’s the best feeling! My family started celebrating on Friday night by surprising me with my favorite treats and goodies. I am so lucky!!
Then the following day I went out to eat with Peter at my FAVORITE sushi spot…Sushi Zo in DTLA. Uhhh-mazing!!! Every piece of sushi melts in your mouth and I’m speechless after every bite- it’s that good!!
Then we continued the celebration over at Established California’s holiday party at The Doughroom on the west side. The venue was cute with a great spot for a photo booth area and an outdoor patio with seats and tables too! I had fun meeting all the girls and took some cute photo booth pictures with #DIY emoticons in full effect!
It was truly a great night celebrating my 34th birthday!!
