Personal Time | Maryland Fine Art & Lifestyle Photographer

As most of you know, I have closed my calendar and am taking some time for myself these next few months. It is essential, recharging for next year is just priceless to me. Plus, I don't want to miss out on this time of year with my beautiful girls. I'm going to try and put up some personal posts these next few months in hopes that you can see who I'm carving out time for, and for myself to prove I haven't completely put down my camera! ;)

My little miss is turning 6 here soon! We had her party on Sunday with school friends, she was so excited! She asked for a rainbow party. So I hopped on Pinterest, found some really cool ideas and went with it. I love how it turned out, and so did she! I admit, I love party planning. I find it so much fun!

We had a rainbow candy table for party favors. After the party the guest would grab their personalized monogram bag (felt bags were purchased on the cheap at a local craft store during a deep discount, felt letters were hand cut by me) and we'd fill a baggie with their favorite candies.

Rainbow cupcakes were really easy to make! Cupcakes and frosting were made from scratch and were Pinterest inspired. The balloons on the right was one of the party games. Each balloon contained a goodie. Guests took turns popping the balloons and collecting the goodies inside. A different spin on a pinata, if you will!

And her favorite part, the monsters. :) Hand knit by me, each guest got to "adopt a monster" to take home as a party favor.

With 2 more birthdays in the next two months....I've got more party planning to do. :) Look for more posts in the future!
