A NATIONAL WALK MS Team


A Fundraiser to celebrate our 5th year walking.





Orange Awareness Ribbons throughout the hall




A banner made up of pictures from the 4 previous walks
went all around the hall




T-Shirts from the previous 4 walks were hung for display 



My Cousin Sindy (Just E's Support Team's Worcester, MA Team Captain) and My Sister Emily (Just E's Support Team's NATIONAL Team Captain and NYC Team Captain)
Emily was diagnosed in 2006 with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and has dedicated a large portion of her life to raising money for MS awareness and  research through the National MS Society.
This Fundraiser was a huge success and with the help of friends and family (even all the way from Massachusetts) we raised money and had a great time doing it.

Another Yo Gabba Gabba Party
This time, for Jacob's 2nd Birthday


Turned plain colorful buckets into Yo Gabba Gabba characters.


Centerpieces filled with gumballs to hold up chocolate covered pretzels
Pretzels made by Save A Bite
Toodee Balloon in background made by the Balloon Man.  E-Mail me for details.


SOUVENIR TABLE: Turned a plain gray tablecloth into DJ Lance's Radio.  







These souvenirs were plain water bottles before I transformed them into DJ Lance, Muno, Brobee, Toodee, Foofa, and Plex.



The only thing that guests had to say about this party was "YO, this party was AWESOME" :)

The Cake Table
I made a personalized banner in the colors of the theme.  Two wooden airplanes painted red were on both ends of the banner.  Cloud printed oak tag in the background.


A Portrait of the Guest of Honor,
Master Pilot Jacob Carter.


Guests couldn't stop talking about the Baggage Claim area.  This is were the children picked up their souvenirs.  Each gift bag had a personalized luggage tag on it with the child's name and a Logo Sticker on the back. (Same logo that was on the invite) A wooden suitcase, contained airplane shaped sugar cookies by Save A Bite
 


This party was a huge success.  Guests are still talking about the flight attendant (myself) who walked around with a cart, offering them refreshments right from the cart
(drinks, pretzels, peanuts, chips)

I even made ID badges with the airline logo that said staff and had a picture of the staff member.  My title was flight attendant; the birthday boy's parents were Airline Engineer and Co-Pilot. We had a ticket agent who collected the tickets at the door (which were used for a raffle).  There were lounge attendants who worked the bar area and bag handlers who helped give out the souvenirs.




Zion's 5th Birthday

After a batman party and a Marvel Superhero party, we pretty much covered most of my son's favorite characters.  Recently he turned 5 and he asked for a Batman Arkham City VILLAIN party. What is that, you ask?  Same thing the baker asked. So after my unsuccessful search for villain cake ideas, I had to draw something myself.  Along with drawing the cake, I had to create centerpieces and souvenirs to go with that theme since NO ONE sells villain party supplies.

 


 My sketch

 The Cake


I made a shirt for each child in the colors of the villains. Green for the Riddler and Poison Ivy; Black and White for Two Face, The Penguin, Bane and Catwoman; Purple for the Joker; and Red for Harley Quinn

The Centerpieces.  Each table represented a Villain. Along with a picture of the Villain, there was a brief bio on the character. Centerpieces where both a centerpiece and a quick read to entertain and educate guests.


 Cake pops (made by Save A Bite) were mounted on a city sky line.  Banner in the background included 2 Batman Arkham City logos and 2 pictures of Bane, who my son wanted to dress up as.  Banners can be made in different sizes, shapes, colors and can be made in your choice of 4 different fonts.
