Featured Vendor: Sugar Cookie Creations

Michelle of Sugar Cookie Creations is my "go-to" person for decorated sugar cookies. Not only are her cookies gorgeous, they're so tasty they'll make you forget all about counting calories. Show her a design and she'll replicate it. I love her attention to detail, and it's great that she's local. If you're looking for sugar cookies with that "wow-factor", be sure to check out her cookie gallery.

Featured Vendor: Rebecca Watkins Photography

For me, having a photographer that you can count on to capture the details of an event is key. On the day of the party, there's just no time to take pictures when you're greeting and entertaining guests, setting up the food and beverage area, and putting the finishing touches on the dessert table. Ever since Rebecca Watkins photographed my nephew's DinoFOUR birthday party, I've been able to focus on what I love best -- hosting joyful parties for children. Having Rebecca there means I can relax and grab a piece of birthday cake without missing a picture-perfect moment.

This past weekend, Rebecca was gracious enough to donate her time to the Children's Alopecia Project (CAP) hair drive and fundraiser. I'll be sharing those pictures soon. Thanks, Rebecca!

Featured Vendor: Monkey Moo Moo

With my one year blogging anniversary just around the corner, I wanted to feature some of the amazing designers, bakers, photographers, and other vendors that I've had the absolute pleasure of working with over the past twelve months.

First on the list is Donna of Monkey Moo Moo. Both my Halloween and Easter parties were inspired by Monkey Moo Moo's designs, so when Donna launched her blog last week, I became one of her first followers. Did you catch her Rootin Tootin Western Party on Kara's Party Ideas? I always knew Donna was an incredible designer, but I was really blown away by her talent for styling parties. Visit her Etsy shop and new blog, and see why I've been such a big fan of her work.
