Jacque Made: a place to share my creative side.

Thursday night was our monthly Relief Society Activity I was in charge of. This is an activity we have for the women in our congregation meant to help them get to know each other better, learn something, and be uplifted.  We decided to have the activity be about pioneers (the early  members of our church and how their faith can strengthen ours... and pie ;)). Jaime helped me so much with the design of the invite and the other printables.. as well as helping me with the activity idea itself. I think this may be one of my all time favorite invites Jaime has ever designed! I love it! These oil paintings of pioneers were also found by Jaime and inspired the feel of the dessert table. Aren't they gorgeous? I got the flowers at Trader Joe's, of course. We had pies and bread/rolls with jelly and butter for the refreshments. I love how it all looked together and felt it really had a pioneer feel to it.    This was the table in the front of the room.

I was so thrilled when my daughter, Avery, said she wanted to have a Beauty and the Beast themed birthday party. I loved the new movie and thought the theme would be so pretty and fun to execute. As always, my twin sis did an incredible job designing the printables for the party. This invite inspired the whole party design. Isn't it gorgeous? I loved how this enchanted rose turned out. I found the rose and domed glass at Hobby Lobby. The stand is an old one I got at Target. I used a tutorial online for making Belle themed slime and loved the idea for party favors. Isn't it so pretty? The rose beads added such a great touch. (I found the beads on Amazon.) I found these adorable Belle bracelets on Etsy for party favors. Avery loved them, and I did too!   This is what the favors looked like all wrapped up and with the thank you tag.   Amazon Prime became my best friend while prepping for this party. I got these paintable teacup planters for the kid
