For the past month or so, I have been consumed with a big event that I feel passionate about. The All Night Grad Party at the High School.
We have been working on this party for the better part of the year but as time drew closer, so did the responsibilities. I have to say, it was a huge undertaking for me as I was unfamiliar with a lot of the aspects and the people involved (one of the many downsides to not living in the same school district). But the party was a huge success and went off without a hitch!! The rewards of hearing how the kids had a great time and seeing them laugh and have fun far outweighs missing one night of sleep. :-)
Now that the ANGP is over, I can finally focus on Bella Mia! One thing I am going to try and do is to hold a fundraiser with various salons where we collect hair and donate it to stop the oil leak!! Did you know that nylons stuffed with hair will help to clean up an oil spill?? I didn't but I think it's neat!! I'm also going to focus on pet salons as well...they have a lot of fur too! :)
I'll update everyone on that goal as soon as I have updates to give!
Until then....I have some more events that I am working on.
Creatively yours....

Fourth of July is a summertime favorite for so many. It's a time for BBQ's, parties, friends, and family.
Of course there are the standard party decorations that you can get from the party store like the Stars and Stripes bunting, or the red, white, and blue balloons, or little American Flags however, why not make your own festive party decor? It's simple, inexpensive, and fun for the entire family!
For a pretty festive table take a white plastic table cloth and sprinkle red, white, and blue confetti all over it and then layer it with a clear plastic table cloth. If you can't find a clear plastic table cloth then go to your local fabric store...most will sell it by the yard.
For a festive and fun center piece why not make a mini candy buffet? Take various clear glass jars of varying shapes and sizes and fill them with fun and sassy candies. You can get red, white, and blue m&m's, red twizzlers, silver hershey's kisses, blue cotton candy, rock candy, starlight mints, and red, white, and blue lollipops, etc.
For the dessert table you could do a cupcake tree with red, white, and blue sprinkles or maybe little mini flags in each cupcake. For a little fun you could always buy special sparkler candles to use on the cupcakes. Please keep in mind that regular sparklers burn up to 1800F degrees which can be very dangerous around small children not to mention that regular sparklers give off a black soot like dust which may be harmless but isn't very pretty on your dessert.
There is so much you can do to make your party classy and pretty but very inexpensive.
If you want some more ideas on how to make your 4th of July party shine please contact us and we will be happy to answer any questions for you. Also remember that for a small fee, Bella Mia will come and decorate for you so you can relax before the big party!
Have a safe and fun 4th of July and a rest of the Summer!
Don't forget to book your Holiday parties early because they will be here before you know it! :)

Tammy
