Fancy That $100 Giveaway!

*UPDATE* This giveaway is now closed. Congratulations to comment #209, Amy Cooley! Thanks to all who entered!!

It’s time for another fabulous giveaway!

Win a whoppin’ $100 gift certificate to the darling shop, Fancy That!! Wahoo! I’m telling ya, there’s so much that $100 could buy in this lovely online shop!

"When an all-ages (yes, adults too!) party planning business is located inside a bakery, you know you’ve come to a place where fun and delicious treats rule the day. Living, laughing and loving inside Bliss Bake Shop in Portland, Oregon, Fancy That provides in-store and at-home party packages for everybody. Luckily, those of us who don’t live in Oregon can still reap the rewards of Fancy That because they have an awesome online shop, too!

Throughout many years of helping friends and family plan birthdays, weddings, get-togethers and more, mother of two, Lisa Komer, learned that preparing the perfect party is a multi-faceted challenge that can result in a planner who’s more frazzled than fun. Also, easily-accessible planning ideas seem convenient but often suffer a severe lack individuality and flair, leaving both host and guest with the disappointing feeling that they’ve attended this generic party before. With this in mind, Komer founded Fancy That in 2006, following a fresh, customer-oriented mission statement to “create custom products and party packages that are unique, stylish, and a bit quirky.” Would you like to treat your friends to tea, brunch or a girl’s night out? Is your child a rock star, a rainbow, or a princess and you want to give them a fantastically memorable birthday party to match? Let Lisa provide the tools and support for you to host at home, or the space to relax and enjoy as she does the hosting for you. No step is overlooked, as Fancy That also offers custom greeting and announcement cards and DIY party and gift supplies both in-store and online.

From busy adults striving to maintain friendships and the joie de vivre of being a grown-up, to caring parents hoping to bring memorable magic to a special moment in their child’s life, Fancy That offers comprehensive, personalized packages tailored to you and yours."

Owl Themed Birthday Party For Triplets!

Whoooo wants to see the most adorable OWL THEMED BIRTHDAY PARTY for Triplets?! This is one of those parties that just blows me away. SO much work! Submitted by L´apparato of Brazil, this Owl party is sure to impress.

Here is what L'appartato said about the party- "We made this birthday for triplets, who completed three years, two girls and a boy .... the theme chosen by the mother was the birthday of owls, because the owl means 'wisdom'.

We did something lovely by hanging owls from tree branches, which were the souvenirs. The bottom panel of the table was prepared by CRIA art and dressing...it matched the theme of the party.

On each guest table we put handmade owl books, which were delicate and childlike."

Girly Camping Themed Party

My next winning party feature goes to this beautiful CAMPING THEMED BIRTHDAY PARTY submitted by the wonderful Wendy Updegraff Photography. This party theme is getting more and more popular..I can see why. It's just so fun! Wendy always does such a superb job. This party is adorable. The green chevron, pink, yellow and turquoise colors are my favorite. Take a look at the s'mores kits and leaf & tent cookies...so cute!

Here is what Wendy had to say about the party- "We came up with the theme of Camp Bella when we were looking at my Favorite Designer/Artist Lori Marie's website. We have a few of her pieces and love her style and colors, she is uber talented!!! We saw her feather headpiece and decided to have the whole party center around it! It turned out perfect and Bella and her friends had a great time!

It was raining most of the night so I was really glad we decided to have it all inside this year, a lot less stressful!! We managed to sneak outside for a few minutes here and there, to blow bubbles and to make s'mores (you can see the rain drops in the s'mores pictures!)."
