Back to School means Back to Routine!

September is HERE! With that means sliding back in to FALL ROUTINE! I am hoping that means that I can increase my Blogging! I am setting up a schedule that I will be sharing in the next few weeks. For now I am sharing a few photo's of  past projects I have worked on over the last few months! Kind of my own version of "What I did on Summer Vacation"!

First up is a recap of the MIB:Shopping Showcase that I was a part of way back in the Spring! It was FANTASTIC! I made so many business connections and met so many great people! We managed to raise  money for a very good cause to boot!
 
My sister stopped by to show support and was SNAPped!
 

A view of my donut display!
This is part of a product for Office Celebrations, a FUN way for Co-Workers to share a Birthday!
I am loving all the Sweet Tables I have been able to design!

I was able to also "Spot Light" some of the GREAT vendors I have enjoyed working with, like cupCAKE
 
Delish Citrus Macrons!

And FUN Hot Air Balloon Cookies by Jen at Simply Cakes and Sweets

The corner of my spot held some products; like custom party hats, Birthday Wishes Candle kits, As well as some photos of my work and some info about me!
 Next up was a Fundraiser at cupCAKES as part of  their Donation Days; I was so honoured to be a part of this particular fundraiser. I have had loved ones who have had to fight Breast Cancer and I hold this cause very close to my heart!

This was a quick shot of the Quilt of Hope that was being created for the day, those buying cupcakes were encouraged to fill a memory card to honour some one special
I tried to decorate every corner and window!

 Over the summer I was pleased to get involved with a group; Cake for Kids who is trying to bring smiles to every birthday boy & girl. By providing them with a Birthday Cake when their family is in need. I have been able to help out by creating small Custom Party Boxes so that they can have mini celebrations. I try to include invites, thank yous, activities and Loot. First one I was privileged to take part in was for a special little girl, who loves music. the theme was Rock Star Divas and I absolutely loved putting it together!
Simple plastic drinking cups were "Diva-fied" with paper cupcake wrappers and ribbon

Loot bags were made from store bought take out containers, with a little streamer detail added
And for all the Divas; loot included Nail polish, lip gloss and candy in the perfect Diva colours of Pink and Purple!

For the centrepiece I used a Rock Star trophy and add some pizazz with a hand made tissue flower
My latest project was a collaboration with Jen from Simply Cakes and Sweets, we had a BLAST setting up the Sweets Table at the Rogers TV Midland Fall Programming Kick-off. Being able to submersed with the wonderful colours of fall, the past two weeks, has really got me thinking its time to find some Apple Cider or make a batch of my famous Roasted Squash soup (I've shared that recipe before!)
Reds, Oranges, and Burlap were a perfect match for the warmth of Fall.
Jen's FANTASTIC Rogers TV logo Cupcakes looked GORGEOUS with my rustic elements!

I guess that is all for my photo essay! Looking forward to a bit of a breather over this weekend, and some time with family!
