BIG thanks to Nina at Momma Go Round for helping me
conquer my remaining html issues! Nina has a fantastic
series of tutorials teaching us non-techy-types how to
beautify our blogs. I highly reccommend it if you're looking
to update your page! I used Nina's excellant advice to
create the fab page-link-buttons on the side of my site!
Her series also inspired me to *finally* create a button!
Whoo hoo! ;) I'm linking my new & improved blog to
Nina's "Beautify Your Blog" Party.

Jaxon's Winter ONE-derland Party!

One of the sweetest little guys I know, Jaxon, recently
celebrated his very first birthday!
I was honored to help his mumma plan his special party!

By now, you know, I LOVE a themed party!
For Jax, we took the "Winter ONEderland" concept to a new
(more personalized) level - by focusing on boy-friendly snowmen
and incorporating Harley Davidson motorcycles! The combo was
PERFECT for Jax's party, as his family loves their Harleys! :)

Here's a recap of the fun!









The kiddos played
"Pin the Nose on the Snowman"and "Snowball Toss"

Beverages:
Snowman Slush & The Snow Much Fun Hot Cocoa Bar





Jax's custom Birthday Shirt! ;)

The Birthday Boy and his pretty Momma!

This is Jax's present from my parents;
They decorated it to match the party perfectly! LOVE them! ;)

Custom Cowgirl Banners

I LOVE making personalized party decor! :)
It is such a privilege to design and create unique, one-of-a-kind
decorations and outfits for life's most special days!

I recently made two of these ADORABLE
cowgirl banners for a customer in Louisiana.
I LOVE this color combination!

SO Sweet!
Makes me smile and think of Miss I*'s Boot Scootin' Birthday Party

You can design your own custom banner by visiting the

"Design Your Own" section of The Shop!

Later this week - lots of pictures from Jaxon's adorable
Winter One-derland birthday party! :)
Have a GREAT day, friends!

Miss I's Pirate Princess Outfit

Last weekend, my daughter Miss I*, had a great time celebrating

her friend Emma’s 3rd birthday! As I mentioned in {this} post;

Emma’s mom is the very talented Jes of {Parapluie Modern Events}

Jes sent out fabulous, hand painted, treasure map invitations

asking all the little party guests to wear pirate or princess attire;

it was fun to see so many little pirates & princesses!

Here is the outfit I made for Miss I* -

I made the hand cut Jolly Roger appliqué out of black and white
“pirate” striped fabric. To keep the shirt girly, I embellished the
appliqué with a red glitter face and a large, red chiffon bow.

I made Miss I*’s bright red pettiskirt for Christmas
and she LOVES to wear it! I just love those frills!

I layered the pettiskirt over a pair of black leggings that I
embellished with black and white “pirate” striped ruffle cuffs!
{I heart the way the cuffs turned out!} ;)

I hand sewed the sparkly princess crown to the front of the skirt
to make the outfit a little more “fancy” and princess like!
We accessorized with a black marabou feather puff, a red
chiffon bow, and black Converse All-Stars! :)

Here’s my little pirate in action!

I LOVE a themed party!
Such a fun day! :)

The Princess-Pirate Birthday Shirt

Here's a peek at the Princess-Pirate birthday shirt, I made this weekend, for sweet Miss Emma.

Emma's mom is the talented Jes of Parapluie Modern Events.
Jes has planned a phenomenal Princess & Pirate's themed party
to celebrate Miss Emma's 3rd birthday. I'm thrilled to have
designed this special shirt for the big day.

I wanted the shirt to have a "treasure map" feel, but look very girly...
I love the way it turned out!

A special shirt for a VERY special little girl!
Happy Birthday Emma! :)

Weekend WrapUp at Tatertots and Jello

Welcome 2011! May we all be blessed with love, joy, and good
health in this special New Year!  :)  2010 was such a wonderful
year, I am excited to see what 2011 has in store!

I had an excellant "vacation" - and truly enjoyed my holiday
season to the fullest! With every season comes change; I am
so thrilled to officially re-launch the recently updated
Daydream Believer Shop and Daydream Believers.net

I LOVE to design and create clothes. I believe every child
should have atleast one piece of handmade clothing in their
closet, and that every little girl must have a tutu of her very own!
So, I am working around the clock to stock the
Daydream Believer Shop with LOTS of lovelies, just for you!
If you, like me, have been dreaming up fab parties themes
and special outfits for your little ones to rock this year-
let me help make your dreams a reality!
Contact me  to design your own tutus, outfits, and banners.
You select the colors and styles; I handmake your one-of-a-kind
pieces, just for you! :)

I believe every new year should bring new opportunities -
In the next few weeks I'll be announcing a great opportunity
for you, my fantastic readers and friends!
It will be my very first giveaway and I'm so excited!

I have put together a great collection of Valentines Exclusives,
new "Princess Collection" tutus and some super sweet, new
birthday shirts for 2011! I can't wait to share them all with you!
I expect to have pieces ready, photographed and in the shop soon!

For now... It's back to the sewing table for me!
Have a GREAT day and a HAPPY NEW YEAR! :)
