I still think it is cute!  ;-)

Razorback PARTY....

Well, my sister had a project for us...  Her boyfriend turned 30 so WE made invites to match the party theme...  Had to share..   I made 2...  She liked the more formal one...  LOSER!  lol!  Just kidding sis!  But I wanted to share both of them with you... 

Razorback diapercake

My cousin was having a baby shower today and I didn't get to go. But I had been REALLY wanting to do a Razorback diapercake so that's what my gift was. Dean said is she a Razorback fan? I said I don't know. But she's in Arkansas and that is what I wanted to make for her!

Hot Diggity - Go HOGS Go! :) Kelley

DORA!

Well, I met Jennifer at the scrap event who has a daughter Abigail.  Imagine being at the same table with 2 other preacher's wives!  We had an awesome time with them and all the tables nearby.  Val, Danna and Danna's mom and Aunt sat next to us!  :)  What a wonderful weekend away.  Anyway, Jennifer mentioned that Abigail is having a Dora party in a couple of weeks...  I got her address and told her that if she opened her mailbox and saw something YAY, if not I would catch up with her later...  (Schedules!)  She said she probably couldn't afford me...  Well, I am still working on my portfolio and need some DORA!  So she gets a blessing! 

Here's my Dora invite...  I had to save it in .pdf, so it isn't that crisp...  I'll try to get a pic before I send the final ones out...

Enjoying Dora and ENJOYING LIFE!  (lol shoutout to my friend Robin!)
Hot Diggity,
:-D Kelley

Scrapbook Event - girl time

Okay, so let me just say, YES, I know it is lame, but ONE of my fav movies of all times is Goonies.  The only thing I can figure is that I can relate to the Goonies.  They were from a small town.  They were a group of friends that had a lot of history between them.  And they were about to be forced to move away from one another.  Everything in their lives was about to be changed.  They had the opportunity through one last adventure to fight to keep things the way they were.    The goonies were a group of multi-faceted albeit nerdy and goofy kids who came together.  They related to and protected one another.  Why do I love them so much?  It's a great reminder to fight for those things worth fighting for!  I recently got strange looks and comments from my family when I asked my sister's new boyfriend if he was a goonie..  He didn't understand and I wasn't going to give him the answer...    You see, whether or not you are a goonie is important.  (And for the record, yes I know I'm over 30, move on, this is my thought here!)....  If you are a goonie, you are accepting of people, without judging them at first glance.  If you are a goonie, you don't sit back and let your life be destroyed, you take action to find a way to stop it.  If you are a goonie, you don't look at why you can't...  YOU DO!  Goonies never say DIE!  They work together so they can STAY together!  I will admit my feelings were hurt when even my brother and sister didn't understand and questioned why I would even ask someone that...  I pray someday they will realize....  why being a goonie was important to me and how tough it is when you look behind you and you realize you are alone and not understood.    Anyway, on to fun Goonie stuff.  So my bestie Donna and I go to a scrapbooking weekend each year.  This year the theme is Scrapping gone Hollywood!  A few years ago I planned my own Movie themed b-day party, so I am going ALL OUT!  And Goonies will be my theme!    Hope you enjoy this as much as I do!   If u were to see the whole dusplay area you will see that I have a shirt signed by Jeff Cohen, Chunk in the movie.    I went to Astoria a few years ago when I had to go to Portland for a conference and I picked up a pamphlet - Movies in Astoria - do you know that they shot scenes from Kindergarten Cop, Short Circuit, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and the Ring there as well as Goonies.    The year after I went was the 20th anniversary of the movie so I ordered a commemorative cup and dubloon from the Chamber of Commerce.    My bestie Susan got me 2 Goonies shirts!  :)  I'm letting Donna borrow one...  Don't worry, I'll make sure I get it back Suz!    I have been working on a treasure chest for Princess Parties, so of course it gets to come...  I mean, what good is it to have a search for treasure movie if you don't have any TREASURE?!?!?!    Well, hope you have enjoyed this stroll down memory lane..   Hot Diggity, I'm a GOONIE and LOVING it! :)  Kelley P.s.  If u r wondering why Jar Jar Binx is behind me I brought him along for the ride. What's a Hollywood themed event without such a celebrity?!?!!

I'm a work in Progress - PRAISE THE LORD! ;)

I will have to admit that the blog hasn't been living up to its name and for that I'm sorry...  My plan has been to start the blog and build my portfolio and really get a grip on where life is headed...  Wait, is that too much to ask?!?!?  Lol!  Okay, so really the plan is to get my act together and prepare my "business path."  I have been blessed to be able to have a few parties to work on for cost to figure out what time is required to complete tasks as well as how much things really COST.  I feel bad if I ask people to pay a lot more than what the materials cost, however, what I realized is that the materials for the items may be inexpensive, but to come out with a custom look, that costs money!  Well, it costs TIME which equals money...  This isn't my profession, I have a JOB, but this is something I enjoy doing....  I love, love, LOVE parties!  And all the glitter and props make me HAPPY!  I mean, I have been working on this Treasure Chest for WEEKS to get it JUST right!  (Yes, as you can imagine I enjoy being at Walt Disney World and Universal Studios just looking around to see all that the imagineers and staff have come up with to awe us...)  If I had a wish it would be to have a place in this area where kids and adults alike could come to be awe-d....  When I grow up, that is what I will do.  If you could take a look into my thoughts your head would be spinning too...  So, all that said, PLEASE bear with me as I find my place in these blogs...  I promise I won't disappoint you...  I have to find balance, structure and direction....  Well, that and I wish for WHIRLED PEAS!  ;)

Lol!

Hot Diggity, I'm planning some SHINDIGS!

:)  Kelley

Totally Kelley!

To steal a line from Jeff Foxworthy - here's ur sign. Well cept this is MY sign!!! Was shopping at one of my fav SE Ark stores Flowers and Gifts by William. Okay so I do have to admit I didn't buy the sign. (even though I did throw down some cas in there!). I am happy sharing the pic. Lol! Hot Diggity Kelley

Snips and snails

Getting ready for a boy shower and this one is construction themed. I LOVE the colors navy, green and pale yellow. Hope Tara likes the decor. :)

Hot Diggity a BABY! Lol! Hugs and Prayers, Kelley

BABY SHOWERS!

Wow!  I have been one BUSY little worker! 

I have had 2 showers in the works and 2 PRINCESS PARTIES!  Not to mention finishing up the WWE party! 

Okay so starting with the babies....  Here is a diaper cake I did for Baby Evalee....  I didn't take a pic after I had it on the cake plate wrapped up....  But it turned out really cute...  You can't tell the exact color, but the tulle accents were purple and lime green....  And I LOVED the light up butterfly!  Oh, and it plays a song too....  Awwww!!!! 

I really hope someone else got pics at the shower.... 

Hugs and Prayers!
Hot Diggity,
Kelley

Finally a PRINCESS!

Okay so for all my friends you know I am a tiara wearing Diva- but I have never had the opportunity to work on a Princess party! I am one HAPPY HOT DIGGITY DIVA!!! Okay so right now I'm just revealing a draft of the invite. I also picked up an old samsonite train case (free from the curbside neighbors trash!!! Seriously take a look as you drive by. U would b completely surprised what people throw out. Use your imagination and look around!) that I hope to have made into a treasure trunk for the party to hold the beaded necklaces and huge bling rings and maybe some big jewels too. Okay this Hot Diggity Diva needs to call it a night. Looking forward to revealing more of the party as it is finalized. :)
Okay how funny is that. I can't get it turned on my phone!!! The story of my life!!! Oh well hopefully this isn't an indicator of how the day will go! Lol!
Hugs and prayers,
Hot Diggity Kelley

Awwww....

My dad tried to post a comment, but since he had trouble he just e-mailed me...  I had to share... 

Thanks Hot Diggity Dad!  lol!  I LOVE IT!

OK, I tried to post a comment, but don't know how to get a "profile."

Anyway, my comment was.....

"Amazing cool site with an amazing cool enterprise.  Once again my daughter has put the mint on the pillow!

But the true and ultimate cool, is knowing that the value of true friendship and caring is priceless ! 

You're awesome, Boo, and you have great friends too!"

Love,

Your....

HOT DIGGITY DAD!

PS:  My other kids (and their kids 'n pets) ain't bad either !

Wrestling!

Okay, so my friend Amy from church has a son Jackson.  Jackson is turning 7 and wanted to have a wrestling party...  I offered to do her invites for free b/c I had an idea that I wanted to try out. 

Ticket was printed on card stock and placed on Black card stock so it stood out (it squished when I saved it on here)

Will laminate these for favors.  I hope Jackson loves them!

I even printed a few of the invites out smaller so they really looked like tickets for Amy to put in her scrapbook.

My first post!!!

This first post is one to honor my dear friend Carrie.  We met working for the same company, yet lived in different cities.  She was the receptionist at our headquarters office (in Maryland) so I spoke with her several times a day...  She has such an upbeat attitude it was a blessing to talk to her each day.  And then, Breast Cancer struck.  Carrie handled treatment and therapy with such courage and grace.  Honestly, cancer has touched me before, but never breast cancer.  She was treated and healed.  And our friendship grew over the time and miles.  :) A few years ago she even came to Arkansas for our Race for the Cure.  This summer we met at the home of another co-worker (Susan) for a few days of grown up summer camp (in Kentucky).  That is when I found out that her 50th birthday was coming up in November.  Long story short, I took over her invitations. 

She wanted a mad hatter party...  You got it girlfriend!

Inside...  Yes, it is all glittery!

A stamp from cow town stamps - Carrie loves the cows!!!

A little surprise I found for Carrie's party at Tuesday morning, how cool is that?!?!?

 Well, there you have it!  Love you Carrie!  Hope you love your invites!  And to my new online family, thanks for taking a peek.  I pray I won't let you down!  ;)

Hugs and Prayers,
Hot Diggity - Kelley
