Cupcakes, Cocktails, and Creations Party Photo Recap

Well, another Cupcakes, Cocktails, and Creations party has come and gone. It's kind of weird reflecting that it's already behind me when for so long I have been looking forward to it. Overall, the party was a very fun and energetic time. Between myself, my friend Kay who sold her fabric creations, my friend Janice who sold embroidery items, my friend Sherri who offered $5 massages and paraffin hand waxing, my cupcake server Lennea and my husband and friend Darryl who served as our in-house bartenders, we delivered a larger than life party to over 60 people!  Here is a photo-recap!

Lurking deep in our basement was a party ready to happen!

There was much to do with an unfinished basement that looked like this:

But after awhile we managed to make it look like this:

Getting everything organized was harder than it may look, as it included placing items in terms of genre or price and then adding price tags to each one. Thankfully I had a great husband who was willing to loop each annoying little tag onto each piece of jewelry, my least favorite part!

The husband and I made this pink screen display thing by hand. More on that in an upcoming blog post!

This was a re-furbished Salvation Army find. More on that in the same upcoming blog post, too :)

I sold-out of these super fun Tiffany's inspired bracelets :)

I put my mom to work while she was in town and had her paint this sign from Vistaprint - got it for free but didn't like how small the fonts they offered appeared - so decided to paint it on by hand!

This was the earring rack that I bought for less than a dollar at Salvation Army and spiced up! 

Another Salvation Army find -- more on this creation in a following post!

A Bead Up first - DIY earrings kits!

Bead Up Check out ;) 

And once Kay's "Kreative Musings" table was up, and Janice's embroidery table was set (which I didn't get a chance to photograph - oops!), we were ready for business!

And what is a Cupcake party without... cupcakes?! Right before the party started, I iced the Oreo cupcakes with whipped topping, white icing, and crushed Oreo's!

And did the same for the Raspberry Lemonade Cupcakes -- whipped topping, white frosting, lemon peels, lemon flavoring and yellow food coloring!

And Kay brought Red Velvet cupcakes:

And Lemon Drop cupcakes!

And of course there were drinks, too!

...And massages!...

...And hand-waxing!...

...And my lovely bartenders - my hubs on the left and our doggie-sitting friend Darrel. 

The key to a successful party is in the details:

Haha - I couldn't' resist using this hilarious ribbon! Too random!

Though I start my new job tomorrow, I am going to do my best to list as many products as I can to Etsy within the next week or so. And am scheduled to show in a church fair and also a charity event next month - game on! Wouldn't want it any other way! Thanks again for everyone for another successful party!
