Maya's Candyland

FINALLY!!

Here are the awaited (cheh cheh) pictures from my daughter's 1st birthday party, Maya's Candyland.

Theme: Candyland (Pink, Yellow, Green, Blue)

Maya held on to this balloon almost the entire time. It was easy to spot her in the crowd.

I got these hair clips from Stride Rite. When I saw it, I must get it because they are the exact colors that I used through out her party decorations.

My SIL, Myra, came up with this idea for guests to write their sweet wishes for Maya. It's a lollipop pedestal.

My lil cousins Aya & Sofea shopping at Maya's Candyshop.

Polka dot Apam. Note: I made the sign "Maya" in the back which I'm too proud of ;p.

For cupcakes, I asked for vanilla cupcake and frosting. I bought the pink sprinkles in the US and my MIL has the blue ones sitting in her drawer. My SIL, Zafirah, patiently sprinkled the cupcakes and my cousin, Aqila, placed the cupcake toppers that my favorite girl, Leey, designed.

My SIL, Myra, found a lady that makes one of the best macarons (not too sweet) for a GREAT price and caters your color choices. They were a HUGE hit!

Leey hand made the food signs. Aren't they just too cute?

Presenting THE Birthday Cake! Check out the awesome pink cake stand! :)

Pink tablecloth, blue and green flower buckets, and yellow flowers. Not to forget a cardboard lollipop to personalize it.

I love this shot of my sweet baby looking up at someone. She looks so grown up here. *tears*

One of my many favorite shots from Balqies. Maya with her Aunty Nabila and Uncle Ilyaz.

She had a swimsuit on (it was supposed to be a pool party but NO thanks to Mr Rain for coming to the party)and the tutu I purchased from a local website. For shoes, I got her Robeez from Stride Rite. Check out the gumball machine on the shoes! Theme-riffic!

A must have picture! Mommy will always love you my darling, sweetness of heaven, Maya Suraya.

Something Engraved

I'm a huge jewelry fan. I love them but I don't wear them as often as I used to especially after having a baby. I keep my jewelry simple and I save my dangling/chandelier earings only for work (Maya loves yanking them).

Rings are the best accessories for me since it's harder for Maya to pull it off. I've always wanted a necklace with a pendant that has "Maya" or "MOM" engraved on it but it's too common. So I saw an image of the following picture on one blog and I am completely in love with it. I want I want I WANT. They ship international too! Check them out here.

They're stackable so you can have one ring for every child you have.
LOVE!!!

p/s: Dear Aza, if you're reading this, please get this for me as my belated birthday pressie (don't worry, I'll provide you my ring size ;D). I WUVE YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!

Brilliant Tips From Miss Martha

I found some awesome ideas from marthastewart.com and I thought I would like to share it here with you.

Isn't this genius? We all know ice melts and if you put a lot of them in your punch bowl, it dilutes the taste. Personally, I do love the taste of a diluted drink because people tend to make it too sweet; they have to make it sweet because by the time all the ice melt, it will have the perfect taste and by the time all the ice melt, your punch won't be as cold as you want it to be. You get the drill. ;P
Now all I need are those punch bowls. Anyone? =D

I absolutely LOVE this idea! What a way to add colors to your plain old drinking glass. All you need is fun printed cupcake liners, a puncher (to punch the hole), and a colored straw. B-R-I-L-L-I-A-N-T.
This make hosting fun right? =D

Check out them coasters! Yes, they're leaves! How awesome is that?
There are so many pretty looking leaves out there to choose from. Your guests will be blown away with this for sure! I wouldn't even thought of this really cool idea. LOVEEEEE..











I can't wait to "impress" my guests with these awesome tips from Martha Stewart (don't think I'll have a get-together anytime soon though).

TGIF

It's finally the weekend!!! Woohoo.....

Today I went to work as usual. Thank god it wasn't a hectic day today. I love to end my work week on a positive note. Don't we all do :p

So I went to see Balqies, my photog friend who we had as our photog for Maya's party, for lunch today at Subway Pavilion to look through the pictures she took. There were soooooo many of them; I wanted to pick them all!!! I can't wait to share it here (yeah,yeah,I know. I haven't even uploaded my US & Frankfurt pictures here :p). She'll hand over the CD this Sunday. Yeehawwww...

Anyhoos, I got to go. It's officially the weekend and that means I'm off to spend a good time with Maya!!

Hope y'all have a super great weekend! InsyaAllah, I'll post some pictures up this weekend. My blog is too bare. I don't like reading blogs with hardly any pictures; I'm sure you don't like it either. :D
