THOMAS the TRAIN

Posted on April 3, 2013 by the COOP

Theses are some cute pics of a THOMAS the TRAIN COOP and CABOODLE party we did recently. Little man Laszlo was saying goodbye to 2 with a CHOO CHOO! Laszlo LOVES Thomas so we went with the branded Thomas goodies on the bags, lolli’s , plates and helium balloons. I love a train party in turquoise and red — so we kept all of our basics — balloons, tablecloths, etc — in that color scheme — and accented it all with the branded goodies… so as not to overload on branded (usually kind of cheesy looking) stuff. We stuck with our cool (unbranded) goodies for the goodie bags — Engineer hats, bandanas, wooden train whistles and train cups for all. The COOP fun is plenty for a party — but Laszlo REALLY wanted a train too… so we brought in a trackless train for the outdoor courtyard area. WE also had a great train conductor face painter/ balloon artist who added to the festivities. Julie at blue cupcakes is responsible for that amaaaaazing cake and cupcake tower… and as usual she did not disappoint! It was a wonderful party with lots of friends and fun! Hope you enjoy the pics.

TICKLE TIME with Anne Heche

Posted on April 3, 2013 by the COOP

We did a great event a while back for Anne Heche. She has a wonderful new sunscreen product called TICKLE TIME — and we hosted the launch at the COOP. It was a beautiful day and everyone had a BLASDT! Since it wasn’t a birthday party — we just went with a cool modern graphic look. Her brand color is turquoise, so we incorporated a lot of that — and added splashes of orange and yellow in keeping with the COOP colors — to give the whole party a really cohesive look. I made more paper flowers for the event (I have kind of been obsessed with them since I made a boatload last year for my school fundraiser) — which are beautiful and since they are COOP color — we have been able to use them over and over in the space! I love the rubber bouncie balls in the Lollipop crates instead of the paper shred we usually use… so bright and colorful and fun. Julie at Blue cupcakes did the cupcake tower, natch. She never fails to impress me… love the simple colorful graphic shapes as cupcake toppers. I just love love loved how the whole party came together – so wanted to share a few shots with you. The sunscreen is also pretty cool if you are in the market… it’s mineral based powder. Check it out here http://www.tickletimesunblock.com

Hi guys… took some pics of a COOP CRATE we sent of to Washington state yesterday and wanted to share.

The COOP CRATE comes in 3 different options —

The BASIC CRATE is decorated goodie bags and the party favors for inside the bags (for the ROBOT one above — all the kids got a Robot Arm hand grabber, a hand of laser fingers, cool robo-sunnies and a squishy robot)….

The CLASSIC COOP CRATE includes the goodie bags, party favors, balloons, a Birthday Banner and vintage striped straws, and…

The CUSTOM COOP CRATE (that’s what this one I have photographed is) includes the decorated goodie bags and party favors, balloons, birthday banner, vintage paper straws, decorative tissue balls, a BIG birthday balloon, plates (lunch and cake sized), napkins (lunch and cake/beverage sized), 2 decorated lollipop crates to display the decorated lollipops which are also included!
