Event Design
Part of my stress relief and creative outlets is designing events—a purely personal project that I tend to have way too much fun with. Typically events are for myself (God bless my husband for the budget!) or my friends (God bless my friends for the trust!). Many of my designs gets printed at The Printworks of Altadena.

Star Wars Baby Shower
When we were getting ready to have our first child (and only child so far), I really wanted to design the decor for the shower—possibly the last event for a while for myself. My friends happily agreed—one less thing for them to worry about! I used toys from childhood and from our nursery (also Star Wars themed of course!). I did all of the design and decor—table center pieces, table activities, guestbook, invitation, and thank you cards.

Toy Story First Birthday
My son is obsessed with Buzz and Woody so for his first birthday I threw him a toy story party. I designed the invitation, the decor, activities, and photo backdrop. We had a dessert table with decor and a guestbook (sign Army Men for my son) & gift table with decor.
My friend Heather helped me construct this Buzz Lightyear rocket ship.
Smash cake I baked and decorated for him.
