{Press} On The Nashville News - Courtney Dial from Pizzazzerie Featuring Pinkoween

I am sure you have all heard of / seen Courtney Dial. She is the rapidly up and coming event designer and founding editor of the popular website, Pizzazzerie. She has been named Martha Stewart's "Doer of the Week" and "Top 40 under 40" on LaunchHer, to name a few of her credits.

We have worked on a couple projects with her recently (all of which were so much fun!). Pinkoween was the first project we collaborated on with her (remember!) So fantastic!

She is so fantastic on camera and has done lots of TV news casts showing entertaining and table styling tips. One recently was focused on the Pinkoween project!


WSMV - TV 4 Nashville recently shot Courtney displaying the
Pinkoween Dessert Table that she styled and we designed the graphics for!

Check out the video here...

Awesome job, Courtney!

{Client Parties} - Sweet 13 Pink-O-Ween!

Angela, a lovely & very talented client of ours recently sent us photos from her niece's Sweet 13 Pink-O-Ween Party. You won't believe the amount of effort & details she put into this occasion for her special niece. Angela made all the goodies herself, from inspiration she found on Etsy and the web - Be prepared to be amazed!!!!!

Angela - used double sheets of glitter craft paper to layer her invite, and put a rhinestone in the spider web!

She layered white boxes to give a dramatic effect with spiders and ribbons. Look how her cake just matches perfectly!!I can't get over the fabulous pink & black spiders she even hung from the rafters! So fabulous!!!
Love the flower bouquet - look at the tiny spiders everywhere!

Her dessert table had so many treats - which she seriously made herself! You won't believe the detail in each goody... I about died when she told me she did it all! There is so much to see - I couldn't even find a good comment to write for most of them because ... all I could say is WOW (mouth-dropping WOW)!I love love love how she displayed her cupcakes - so creepy and elegant at the same time!
Look at the spiders in her pink lemonade - I mean... Angela thought of everything!Here is the lucky birthday girl and below with her wonderful Aunt Angela
Ok - so when we tell you that you can do these parties yourself (and all you need is our little printable package), we never dreamed a DIY party would turn out like this. Ummmm Angela - are you for hire???

If there was an award for "Best Aunt of the year" - I would be nominating Angela!

Thanks for making our printable package look just too cute for words!!!

We are always excited when people purchase our designs. We were absolutely thrilled when Nancy Schaub of Lincoln, Illinois, purchased our Printable Happy Pink-O-Ween Design Collection and hosted a Pink-O-Ween party to raise money for breast cancer awareness. In one afternoon, Nancy and her friends raised $305 – THINK PINK!

Nancy owns a cupcake business in Lincoln called LoveN Spoonful Cupcakes, and was kind enough to send in some pictures from her event. Her cupcakes look incredible and I am sure that they taste even better. You can find Nancy and LoveN Spoonful Cupcakes on Facebook. Thanks for sharing your photos, Nancy and thank you for promoting breast cancer awareness!

Check out the spider lace that she draped over her pink tablecloth.

I love the pink and white yogurt covered pretzels.

It’s not too late to host your own Pink-O-Ween party! The Printable Happy Pink-O-Ween Design Collection is 50% off and $2 from the sale of each set will go to support Team Pinkoween for Susan G. Komen.

Virtual Pink Smurf Sale to Benefit the Susan G. Komen Foundation

With everyone walking around saying “touch yer boobies,” you must be aware by now that October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Anders Ruff and the ever so spunky and talented Courtney Dial of Pizzazzerie, have joined together to form Team Pinkoween. We would love your support. All pink Smurfs (wink) are just $1 (wink), or name your price (wink, wink).

Anders Ruff has roughly 279 Twitter followers, 224 blog followers, and almost 1000 FB friends. If every one of our friends gave $1 to Team Pinkoween, we would surpass our goal of $1000 in a snap. I’m quite sure you could use a virtual pink Smurf. I mean, who couldn’t?! We might even be able to dig out a Limited Edition Pink Papa Smurf (wink). Anders Ruff will also donate $2.00 from the sale of each Printable Happy Pinkoween Halloween Design Collection package purchased to Team Pinkoween.

Thank you all so much for your continued support of our company, our blog, our tweets and everything else. We would be nothing without you!

Now go touch yer ta-ta’s! Breast health is vitally important and my guess is that every one of us personally knows someone who has breast cancer, beat cancer, or died of breast cancer.

Think pink!
