Gigi's Crafty Place

02/06/2024

That’s a wrap! Over the past year and a half (and for those magical 4 years in Cohasset) I have been so blessed to celebrate the most amazing young people with their friends and families. You haven’t seen any posts on social media as it was just me running the business and we were booked for just about every possible time slot as it was! 🤪. My party moms and dads were all the advertising we needed and I am forever grateful for all the love that was thrown our way to make my little passion project a thriving reality. Every party has been such a gift and I will miss the hundreds of cuties I have gotten to know (and their awesome folks!). There is no way to adequately explain how much joy this biz has brought me. But it is time for me to pass the torch to two wonderful women who will, no doubt, continue and grow this little party place in their own special way. With lots of glittery love, from the bottom of my heart, thank you to all of the families that shared your little loves with me. It has been an honor to be silly with them! Please continue to support the new owners of The Crafty Place - I am excited to see them thrive! THANK YOU! And, by the way, I cannot possibly say goodbye without thanking the ladies that TRULY brought the magic and the secret sauce to the studio - Bridget, Catherine, Elbe, Elizabeth, Meghan: I could NOT a have done this without you all. I adore each of you and will miss seeing you as frequently, but you can’t shake me off (see what I did there?!) Thank you for making GGCP what it is. You are each magic personified and I love you like my own. Proud of each of you and so excited to see what the future holds for you!💗🧡

This group of pals indulged me and came in to try out a new crafty class concept: making beaded friendship bracelets. They’re all the rage if you’re going to the T Swizzle concert this weekend, which these girlies are! So lucky! Have fun, ladies!!!

Reach out if your pr***en and pals want to come crank some tunes, giggle, chit chat and make some new wrist candy!

What do you get when you take 15 kindergarteners on a chilly morning and mix em up with crafts and cupcakes? Pure goodness!

04/03/2023

Boas bring out the best in us - even when we have to shake them out outside first, which, duhhh, requires much posing, dancing, giggling and tossing them everywhere! I share your excitement, girlies!💗🧡

04/03/2023

I mean, can they be any cuter?!?! Not an ounce of drama, just pure fun with the sweetest group of girls. Puppies, a photo booth, silly glasses and boa feathers to last for days! My heart melts every time I look at this”bounce” and see each of them! A fabulous way to spend a Friday afternoon!🧡💗🧡💗

Spent the morning with the absolutely cutest family doing a Photo Booth test run for tomorrow’s party. I always loved watching the kiddos (and parents!) hamming it up for the camera in the studio and am so excited to now be offering this as an in-home party option as well!

09/12/2022

Oh, if only we had a studio!!! Not sure I‘d create a tree made of illuminated pink flamingos, but it does make me miss the days of our disco balls and pink sequin ornaments! Perhaps by Christmas 2023…

10/11/2022

Out of the mouths of babes! So true and, oh, if only I could…..

10/11/2022

Not sure how to distinguish between what goes on Insta and what goes on FB so just sharing away everywhere! If you know anyone on the South Shore looking to celebrate their littles, please pass along my info! I truly love being with the kids and can always find the time for them!💗🧡💗. Especially when we’re taking Llamacorns. I mean, come on?! Can it get any cuter?!

Summer’s over, school is in full swing and it’s time to party! Let me help you celebrate your little ones with creative fun. Don’t worry about the size of your house - the kids don’t care! It’ll be the size of the FUN that they remember and I promise it won’t disappoint!

Two parties two days in a row felt like old times…. Especially when one of the littles explained to me that her great grandmother’s name is GiGi! I asked if I looked as old as her and -out of the mouths of babes - she responded “not quite”!🤣. Well, time with the kiddos is definitely keeping me young at heart if not helping with the grey hair!!!

This crew of nine year olds were beyond fun! Loved every minute with them - including the “blindfolded makeup challenge” (birthday girl request!) and the “surprise” cake that mom made - it included all sorts of yummy candy treats inside! Such a special day to celebrate the younger sister of one of my original studio days birthday girls! Miss Estelle is such an adorable and fun little queen! I was honored to celebrate with your family again, Deborah Brockney! Thank you!💗 🧡
So many pictures because the makeup challenge just had me laughing too hard not to share - the death grips on their friends’ faces matched with the laid back vibe of the ones getting made up, followed by the shrieks of laughter - it was hysterical!

What do you get when you mix one very adorable five year old birthday girl with ten of her besties, magical “alacorns” (their name for unicorns with a horn AND wings) and a stuffed animal sized tea party set up? Too much cuteness and fun!!! These muffins were an absolute joy! I loved celebrating Little Miss Annabelle with her pals!

How did my post not post??? I only now just realized our pics from the World’s Sweetest Unicorn Pajama Party either never posted or got deleted… hmmm… so without further ado - I could melt just looking at these again! The day was perfection! I mean, when you show up and the birthday girl is wearing almost identical jammies to the ones you are outfitting the unicorns in - could the Universe be screaming any louder that this was meant to be??? And while I clearly remembered how much I enjoy the kiddos and their laughter and hugs (and this group was particularly lovely), I was reminded how much I adore my party moms - could not have hand picked a better family to re-launch with. Was such a happy, happy day for all! Thank you, Caitlin O'Callaghan Reen, for letting me celebrate with you and yours! The photos are out of order this time, but I think you’ll see - was a wonderful day!

When you’re walking the dog with your unicorn hair looking fine, or so you think, and hubs snaps a quick pic…. Of course you go home and fix that one that’s out of place! And you cover your eyes in glitter!!! (Skin care friends ignore the wrinkles and sun spots!!!). Wait? You don’t wear colored hair, glitter shadow and pink jimmy jams to work??? It’s almost time!💗🧡💗🧡💗🧡

I honestly feel like it is Christmas Eve over here!!! For first time in YEARS, we have a real life, in-person party tomorrow! And how fitting that it’s for the most adorable 5 year old complete with unicorns and jimmy jams! My bags are packed full of craft supplies, magical unicorns (and dinosaurs!) waiting to be loved, fairy dust and more. Now busy breaking in my unicorn love slippers and waiting for the clock to strike GO! (No, my studio has not reopened - still looking for a space - but starting back with in-home parties. Reach out, I’d love to celebrate with you and yours!)
