Year in Review

A Look Back 

2014 is almost over, can you believe it? I thought I'd take a look back to remind me of all the amazing things that happened to Fizzy Party. And to give me a boost for 2015.

January

 First time my tulle poms were featured in a party. Soiree Event Designs took a chance on my product and I want to thank her. I've had so much fun creating poms for people this year. The party that started it all for my poms  Frozen party. 

Hosted a  Chinese New Year Party .

February

Had to have a  Super Bowl Party since the Hawks were in it to win it.

December

 Was part of Patience Brewster's online cookie exchange .

Cookie Exchange

 I baked cookies! for the Patience Brewster 2014 online cookie exchange. Patience Brewster is an artist of whimsical ornaments. Mini Thaddeus the penguin is pretty darn cute. 

Now I love to bake but I can't create a recipe from scratch. So when I saw this egg nog cookie recipe from Cooking Classy  I had to try them. Pop over and get the recipe. 

Isn't the Santa spatula cute :)

Naked cookies ready to be dressed in frosting. 

mm, these cookies are good. I had to try them for you, right ;)

Margulis Jewelers in Portland, Oregon has a fabulous collection of Patience Brewster figures and ornaments. Perfect location for the cookie shoot. 

Isn't the cardinal an amazing piece. It has glitter!

I want to thank Margulis Jewelers for allowing me to shoot this post in their beautiful store surrounded by gorgeous pieces of jewelry.  
I saw a few pieces in there that will be going on my wish list.
