Bohemian Baby Shower: Operation Shower

You have to know how much we here at Paper & Cake LOVE Operation Shower. It just doesn’t matter how many of their group baby showers benefiting military families we are involved in – we. want. MORE. This time, we designed a bohemian style collection of paper decorations for their “Dream a Little Dream” event...

operation shower: play date

I know, I NEVER talk about my love for Operation Shower. Their heartwarming events are NEVER on my blog. And, I’m sure I’ve NEVER even mentioned Operation Shower Play Date. Did my sarcasm shine through? Okay so, last month, I had the honor of volunteering (again!) for an Operation Shower event. This time the baby...

post weekend update: Annual Holiday Bazaar

For the past couple of years, my daughter Autumn has taken it upon herself to throw a little “handmade craft fair” in our living room. She makes every kind of ornament she has time for can think of!

My daughter, the crafter… I don’t know where she gets it from! Last year my daughter, Autumn, came up with this idea to throw her very own Holiday Craft Bazaar.

part 1 ~ operation shower: sunshine safari

I am a sucker for Operation Shower. They say “jump”, I say, “how high?” If you haven’t heard me talk (gushing profusely) about them in the past, then you may be hiding under a rock. It all started with an email from Amy asking if I had anything in my shop with animals, that could...

post weekend update: holiday bazaar

Curse you American Girl Magazine with your crafty ideas that inspire kids to take on projects way too lofty for their tired mothers to keep up with. Why must you dedicate 5 pages, with great big colorful images and diagrams, to the “Holiday Bazaar” concept complete with compelling quotes from real kids who have supposedly...

Flashback – 80s Style

On Sunday afternoon, we attended a Fundraiser Party for our friend Casie. She was recently accepted into the Orange County High School of the Arts (woo hoo!). It is just the perfect place for her, a girl who LOVES to perform. The only drawback – the price tag for a year of attending. The solution?...
