We ARE what happened in Vegas! What a delight to create this immersive vintage Vegas party at the Jazz Kitchen in Downtown Disney District in Anaheim. A sumptuous menu collaboration with the Jazz Kitchenās talented culinary team included decadent treats like lamb lollipops, sinful blackened chicken mac and cheese, a robust seafood display, prime rib carving station, Cobb salad with lobster and chicken made to order, strawberry Showgirl Shooters with vodka whipped cream and an ode to The King, peanut butter mouse tarts with bananas flambee. Signature cocktails were offered in honor of The Chairman of the Board, āOld Blue Eyesā, featuring a delectable mix of blueberry vodka with lemonade and soda. Guests enjoyed a live swing band, celebrity Elvis and Frank Sinatra singers, a live DJ, strolling sleight of hand magician, and of course plenty of showgirls! A feather-adorned pinup was positioned in a ten foot lighted birdcage, while satin and sparkle covered cigarette girls in pillbox hats passed out feather fans, dice, playing cards and lots of fun swag for guests to take home. Three casinos and a high-roller room featured poker, craps, roulette and blackjack, and a hilarious trio called āThe Priscillasā added hilarious antics to the fun. My personal favorite thing to create for this event were the handmade, lighted neon signs and the āSlots a Funā casino costume, designed for guests to interact with a gorgeous retro styled entertainer. A round of applause to the incredible team at the Jazz Kitchen, and many thanks to my clients and team of party staff and providers. Couldn't do it without you. Viva Las Vegas! ā ļøā„ļøā£ļøā¦ļø #vivalasvegas #downtowndisneydistrict #jazzkitchen #corporateevents #eventplanner #southerncaliforlife #partyplanner

What an amazing week at Creativation by Namta! It was wonderful to see everyone, and I had so much fun working with the Notions team to bring Tonic and Little Birdie products to life in fun demonstrations. Just look at all of these incredible creative brands, manufacturers, and talented designers. Canāt wait to see everyone again next year in Seattle! #creativation #creativation2024 #namta #creativedesign #crafty #neworleans #creativeprofessional #decoearth #decoart #jacquardproducts #sizzix #christietroxell #ritzyparties
Iām sorry, Lucy. I donāt deserve your manicures. #painthands #creativelife #societyofwildflowers Wild rose face paint by Michelle at @silly_face_painting
Giving myself a tattoo, and learning how to pronounce new words. This is actually the coolest thing, something I discovered while at Creativeworld in Germany. Whoās ready to do a little self-inking? #selftattoo #jagua #jacquardproducts #henna #mendhi
Cheers to 2024! Anyone else totally fine with leaving 2023 in the dust? The past year has been wild. Iāve been quietly navigating a bajillion big challenges with health, family, friendship and business. Sometimes 2023 felt like a circus! I think every one of my coping mechanisms was tested to the limit. I learned a lot about boundaries, listening to and relying on my intuition, and Iām proud for getting through it all. Happy to be heading into the new year with some big wins, exciting goals, renewed optimism and of course, the creativity is in check and on deck. At first making a recap of such a frustrating year seemed like it would be pretty blasĆ©, but I decided to peek back, if only just to reflect. I cannot believe I almost missed the chance to remember how many bright, happy moments like these were happening in my life the ENTIRE time! Iām looking forward to being more present in 2024 and feeling so grateful for this beautiful life of mine. #happynewyear #2024goals #watchme #goodbyeandgoodriddance

Santa came early and dropped off this amazing new lineup of DecoEarth premium RECLAIMED acrylics! Hello 2024, itās finally here - the sustainable craft paint weāve all been waiting for, (and these colors- WOW!) #decoearth #decoart #ourplanetourhome #recycledpaint #sustainablecrafts #planetfriendly
At the last possible second, I decided to participate in a huge Christmas craft show, what do you think of my little booth? Iāve never done one of these big craft show before, itās been fun to learn on the fly! Back to making holiday headbands, this starts tomorrow at 11am! #christmascrafts #shophandmade #shopsmall
Pro tip: Forget the milk and cookies. Youāre guaranteed a spot at the top of Santaās nice list with this festive little sipper. Frost the rim, give it a whirl in pink sanding sugar, the drink is equal parts vanilla vodka, Baileys chocolate cream, and bourbon. Spritz with a touch of Blow My Bubble virgin spirit enhancer. Get ready to jingle some bells. #christmascocktail #cocktails #cocktailor #cocktailvision #holidaydrink #nicelist #santababy #chefrubber #chefrubberparty
Iāve got a little extra holiday cheer, enough to share! Itās a delish booze-free holiday mocktail with orange and amaretto flavors. I love being able to kick back and relax while decorating for the holidays without getting too blitzened! This was simple to make, I added two large ice squares to a 16 ounce stemless glass (thanks Target dollar section!), then poured in a bottle of Curious No. 4, itās flavored with orange and mandarin flavors. I added three sprays of CockTailor Amaretto Virgin Spirit Enhancer and clipped on a Fruit Fetish Blood Orange Slice. My holidays just got brighter! Cheers, rein-dears ā¤ļø#cocktailor #mocktails #mocktailrecipes #holidaydrinks #holidaymocktails #christmasdrinks #mocktailrecipe #boozefree #nonalcoholic
Here are a few holiday headbands and hats I crafted up today with my friend Kiki on MadeTV, we both love to embellish our holidays, including ourselves! Dazzle your seasonal accessories with fun items like Little Birdie Flowers, a top hat die that can be cut on your Sizzix machine, and lots of trims, feathers, junk jewelry and holiday embellishments. Hot glue from AdTech holds it all together! @littlebirdiecrafts @sizzix @elenalaietcheverry @madetv.network @vanessakikijohanning @trimsbytheyard @debraquartermain @adtech
