Sixty Invitation

This past weekend I hosted a lunch for my Mom in honor of her sixtieth birthday (tomorrow)...which is tomorrow.  I hunted around for awhile for the 'perfect' invite.  I was going with the pink and black theme.  I found this chalkboard card from tinyprints.  I get nothing for saying this, but I like the way they turned out.  I went through my aunt's old photos and found a photo from when my Mom was in second grade.  I blew it up and added it to the invite.  Lot's more details to come celebrating my Mom.  :O)

Favor Cakes

My Mom turns sixty this month!  I've got quite a few festivities planned...including a tea with friends.  I'm going with variations of pink for each of the festivities, in this case...pink and black.  I'll post all the details later, but....these are the favors I made using mini cakes for each guest.  Again, once they are all done...more pics, but this was the test run.  

I found a free chalkboard background and downloaded some chalkboard fonts to make this tag.  

 I made these little poppies (which I posted instructions for making last week).

 I added a ribbon and ran the end product through inspections...approval granted.  

 Inside those little containers are baby bundt cakes from Nothing Bundt Cake.  I wish I got something for saying that, but I don't....but regardless....I heard these cakes!  I'm getting several different flavors.

My favorite is the chocolate chocolate chip....should anyone be near a store and want to please my pallet!
