In her own words, "I am a stay-at-home mama to two sweet little boys and a wife to a wonderful husband who supports my need to create. Since I was a young girl I loved to design and make clothes, paint, draw and sew little animals. Today, sewing is still a passion of mine, but I also love scrapbooking, card making and digital design. I am addicted to creating designs and illustrations in Adobe Photoshop and more recently Adobe Illustrator.
I opened up an Etsy shop called mateo & tobias, named after my boys, in the fall of 2010. All of my craftiness is done during nap times and bedtime with me often staying up until the wee hours in the morning. When I am not on my sewing machine, in front of the computer, or cutting paper with an Exacto knife, I love to read, take pictures, cook, bake, and garden. My favorite time above all things is time spent with my boys. Laughing. Playing. Having fun. Just time together."

Amy Nichols Special Events is a full-service event and wedding planning company based in San Francisco, California. Recently, Amy was asked by Lisa Quinn of Home with Lisa Quinn (on The Live Well Network) to design a pink and green themed dessert table for a wedding feature. We were thrilled to design for Amy the labels for the occasion. Even if you're not hungry, you will be after you see these candies and desserts. We love this preppy twist and know you will too! Thanks Amy for letting us share with our readers your elegant table. You can read more about Amy's events on her blog here.
She set up three stations in her house - a dessert/candy table, a work station, and a favor table.
The desserts were sooo fabulous... I can't even believe this cake!!!
This was the work station for valentine-making....
Last but not least, the favor table!
