Kidzu Dream Gala Tickets Now Available!

As I sit here, I'm peeling black spray paint off my fingers from a mad 3-hour painting session this afternoon. I may or may not still be a little woozy from the spray paint fumes, but it's all for a good cause - the Kidzu Children's Museum in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

I'm thrilled to say I'm on the planning committee for the Kidzu Dream Gala, coming up April 9 in Chapel Hill. The 2011 Dream Gala marks the first steps of the Kidzu Capital Campaign, an effort to raise money to build a new museum on the Wallace Deck in Chapel Hill. This new site will increase the size of the Kidzu facility substantially with approximately 15,000 square feet of indoor space, and an additional 5,000 to 7,000 square feet of space for outdoor exhibits and programs.

Tickets are now on sale via the gala website at www.kidzugala.org and I can't wait for the awesome evening we have planned!

We've put together an exciting evening of  magic - think Alice in Wonderland meets Willy Wonka traveling to Candy Land...centerpieces made of discarded toys, a liquor bar stocked with mixed drinks reminiscent of your favorite candies, a to die for meal, unbelievable live auction "dream experiences"...wanna travel by jet for a day, practice with the Carolina Tarheels basketball team, have a photographer capture a year's worth of milestones, or maybe you have a special little person in your life who's been dreaming of a fairy tale play house??  All of these dreams and more can come true at this year's dream gala.

We also have a silent art auction planned, with some amazing pieces donated from local artists - and tons of surprises planned throughout the night! So, come dream with us atop the Wallace Plaza in Chapel Hill, the future home of Kidzu Children's Museum!

Make plans to join us on April 9th, and help make the dream our children’s reality! This is such an important time in the history of Kidzu and the Town, as we plan for an iconic museum that will educate and inspire generations of our community's children to learn through play.

Space is limited, so buy your tickets now!

Star Wars Gift Bag Tags

Two years ago, for Walker's Star Wars birthday, I created Yoda tags to attach to the gift bags for the party. Little did I know these bag tags would become so popular on Pinterest! To date, these tags have been repinned almost 500 times!!! So I thought since there's so much interest, I'd add them to my Etsy shop . So now, for just $8.00 - you can receive the file electronically and print them for yourself! I jazzed them up a bit with some sliver glitter puff paint on the light saber and some silver ribbon to attach to the dollar store bags. Print as many or as few as you want! So, if you are planning a Star Wars party, check them out ! And may the force be with you!

Baby Shower Inspiration Boards

I got all excited about the baby shower inspiration board contest over at Sippycups Are for Chardonnay , but only ended up submitting this first one on time. I managed to pull the second together this weekend just for kicks and loved the colors, so thought I'd share here. The first board is call "Nesting Instincts" and the second is "Over the Rainbow". I think I could get addicted to creating these things.
