Nyomi's 2nd Birthday Party...

If you happened to have read my previous posts, then you'd know that my little angel, Nyomi Anne, had just turned 2 the past Tuesday, the 24th, and had her birthday party the past Saturday, the 28th.

Before I continue though, I wanted to first share a picture of her actual party invitation card since the last one I posted on here was an e-invite image.

Anyway, the card says it all... The party was a Sesame Street inspired party...
In the hopes for at least a cloudy day, we still went ahead and decorated and set up the front and backyard...
But as expected, it sure wasn't a sunny day that swept the clouds away! LOL! The sun only came out for a bit and then mostly rain and it was really cold. So we had to move a lot of stuffs back in the house. And even though I've been stressing about the weather, thinking that it's gonna be too crowded inside the house... It actually wasn't so bad and we all had a great time!

Here's her Sweet Table that had to be set up at the garage LOL!!!
Remember my vent about the cake? LOL... Well, I still wish it had been done... I still wish the cake designer did not back out on me like that. But I'm glad that I found a not-so-bad one at Wal-Mart! LOL! I have to get two separate cakes though to make it a two-tiered cake myself because if you ask for a two tier cake made, they consider it as a wedding cake and it costs a whole lot LOL!!! Weird and stupid but oh well... I found something ok so I'm not gonna throw a fit.
Ahhh the sesame street cupcakes... simply made out of colored icings, candy melts, peanut m&ms, oreos, chips ahoy and bugles chips! LOL!!!!!
Here's the lamp post that Noel made and the backdrop. I got this image from Aaron over at flickr, with permission to edit and use of course. I am also planning to sell the backdrop too but I have to go to the post office to check the shipping prices before I do. So if you're having a sesame street party in the future... let me know! I will definitely set up my etsy soon ;)
And yay! The happy birthday girl! She really had a blast! And I'm glad she did!!! Everything paid off! And thanks to those who came and joined the fun! If you're wondering where are the pictures of the food... uh... LOL... I didn't get to take much shot of it... a lot of our friends came early so as soon as the dish is ready... serve! LOL!

Now before I sign off... And aside from my family that helped made this party happened, there are certain friends and vendors that I want to give credit to...

1. Rhodora Suematsu (Nyomi's Godmother) - For the party decors!!! I couldn't have done it without her support LOL!
2. Hanna Boyle (Nyomi's Godmother) - For the large street signs and the backdrop.
3. Shop Sweet Lulu - For the pretty packaging supplies
4. HeyYoYo - For the cupcake liners

Quite A Bummer...

I've been monitoring the weather for this Saturday, oh say, more than a week now. It has been saying that it's going to be sunny, to mostly sunny, to possible showers and now, 50% rain.

That's of course a downer... But heck, I'm sure we're gonna have a great time regardless...

Unfortunately, this is not the end of it!

For the past month and so, I have been looking for a decent cake artist that's not going to charge me a whole lot since I wanted a certain design cake and have no time to do it myself with all the stuffs I have to prepare.

Well... A friend of mine offered and that her friend is an artist and willing to do it for me. That was all set until today...

The artist decided to back out and didn't have the time to do it! SAD! Why do that the last minute...

I wish I was told a little sooner...

But I'll live LOL... I just needed to vent...

Anyhoo... Got more stuffs to work on... Rain or shine, we'll have a blast! Till I blog again! :)

Two Years Ago...

2 years ago around this time... I was terrified, in pain, miserable and exhausted. But I must've done something good in my life that God gave me a beautiful baby girl.

Having her made me want to be a mother... having her helped prepare me to fight my battle with cancer... And having her made cancer itself seem feeble.

And now she's 2, I am grateful that I get to live this far and get to watch her grow and witness all the things she does (yes! That includes the stress LOL)...

And to you, Nyomi Anne Ledesma, my wonderful angel and princess... Happy happy birthday! I wish you lots of love and all the happiness in this world. You just make me so proud and i love you so much!

/end drama LOL!

Party Preparation...

Yes... I have been slacking off and sorry for not blogging for quite a while.

Anyhoo, my daughter, Nyomi, is turning 2 this coming Tuesday (how time flies) and she's having a sesame street inspired party the coming Saturday. It is gonna be so much fun but with that said... we're pretty occupied preparing for that as well as for her actual birth day. :)

I promise I'll blog all about the upcoming events! As for now, if you haven't seen it... check out her invitation I designed for her. :)
