WELCOME TO MY BLOG!

FINALLY!  I set up this blog shortly after opening my etsy shop, CelebrationPaperCo,  and have just gotten the chance to start posting.  So, welcome to my blog:)  Celebration Paper Co is not my only etsy shop.  I also run Paper Peddler (paper crafting supplies) and Marmaduke Alley (which is currently empty).  I opened Celebration Paper to have a place where I could create and sell paper banners and assorted party supplies.  I created the shop on a whim (as I also did with Paper Peddler) and it has really taken off for me.  I am absolutely loving it!  This blog will be dedicated to the shop, current and past projects, custom orders I'm working on or finished with, and assorted other things.  I hope you enjoy - thanks for taking time to stop by!

Really Cool Presents

I have decided that I'll never wrap presents the same way again!  My oldest daughter celebrated her 7th birthday on Sunday and chose birds for her theme.  I thought it would be cool to have her gifts coordinate with our chosen paper collection and so I went to work.  I wrapped everything in solid color paper (red & lime green) and then I added strips from our paper collection (DCWV Song Bird) to decorate the front of the each package.  I also made a matching bag but I've been making those for a while.  They turned out really nice!!!  I  was really excited with the way they turned out (and almost hated to let her unwrap them,lol).  I can't believe that I have just now figured out what a great wrap my awesome paper & card stock collections make.  I took photos and have added them below.  Enjoy:)

Reviving the Blog

Just a quick post to say that after many years of forgetting about my blog, I've decided to revive it.  I'm looking forward to future postings so stay tuned....

"Project Birthday"

It's hard to believe that this time seven years ago I was on my way to the hospital to have my first baby.  My oldest daughter (of two), Sydney, will celebrate her 7th birthday tomorrow!  She is a total "bird nerd" and so she has chosen a bird theme for her decorations.  We don't have big parties for our girls in terms of having friends over or renting out a place.  We keep it small and generally have my parents over for a late lunch and then cake, presents and fun with the family.  Each birthday the girls choose a theme and we go all out with decorations.  This year my daughter wants everything birds (she is a true "bird nerd").  We went through my paper (tons of it) and decided on this: We are going to use red, orange, green and probably some yellow and blue (this paper has a lot of color options).  I am making a bird banner, cupcake toppers, cupcake holders, bird confetti and maybe a garland and a couple of boxes.  I would also like to make a gift b
