Cookie Party is Healed!!!

2010-05-25T18:03:00.003-04:00

iLoveCookieParty.com , along with apparently millions of other websites, got sick with a virus last week! It really stunk, not being able to process orders and having shoppers afraid of shopping in fear of catching something nasty! Well, good news! We got our shop treated and debugged. Now we're ready to open our virtual doors again!! So have no fear- Cookie Party is back in business =)

ART STAR Craft Bazaar

2010-04-27T17:52:00.006-04:00

The time has come again for the Art Star Craft Bazaar. It's going to be at Penn's Landing again this year-- Sat May 15- Sun May 16. I just got the post card in the mail today and sadly I will not be attending this year.
You see, Philadelphia and I were in a unhealthy relationship and needed a break. Philadelphia beat my ass pretty good this past winter, making it too difficult to even remember the days when every inch of my body wasn't covered in layers of clothing. So the 100+ Artists and Crafters will have to get along with out this Cookie Party lover.

Make sure you get in on this special event if you happen to be in or around Philly. PLUS Each day of the event they're giving away 250 tote bags!!! with the totally sweet Art Star Craft Bazaar logo on them!! I missed out last year so make sure you go early to get yours.

Review on A Lovely Little Deer Blog

2010-04-17T11:43:00.005-04:00

I received a message a few months back from Rebecca of alovelylittledeer blog inviting me to send her some products to review. Considering the crafty goddess that she is, I jumped at the opportunity. A gathered up a bunch of Cookie Party goodies and mailed them off to the UK. After about a week I got an email saying "You Spoiled Me!!". I guess I got a little carried away with the gift box :) Anyway, below is a little sample of what she has made so far with some of the Mer-Me Metallic Ruffled Elastic and Baby Bows I sent her.

Ms Doe Deere

2010-03-16T14:24:00.004-04:00

Ms Doe Deere, the unicorn queen and Lime Criminal responsible for colorizing the faces of the world with bright electric makeup, has written a review about Cookie Party and her old d.i.y. days. She truly was a pioneer in the d.i.y. movement. I'm so happy for her and her success. Recently Urban Outfitters started carrying Lime Crime Make Up! Go Doe! and thanks again for the review :)

Warning: 5 Fabrics for $5

2010-02-10T14:56:00.004-05:00

Here's 5 delicious fabrics that you probably don't need but at $5 a yard how can you pass them up?

New Fabric, Trims and Tapes!!

2010-02-01T14:37:00.003-05:00

I'm so excited I got these new trims in! The metallic ruffled elastics are like shiny mermaid tails! I'd love to see them wrapped around a little mini skirt. The tapes are functional and decorative. There's something about laced up ribbon that makes garments insta-sexy! The fabric is super cute too! It is in limited supply so I'll have to keep my own little stash (I admit, I'm a fabric hoarder). Here's the quick link to our WHATS NEW section.

Cookie Party mentioned on DoeDeereBlogazine!!!

2010-02-01T14:19:00.005-05:00

Doe Deere of DoeDeereBlogazine, formally know as the Lime Criminal, has mentioned Cookie Party on her blog. She is the mastermind behind Lime Crime makeup and updates her uber popular blog daily. Her name and styles are one of the first to come to mind when I think of d.i.y. in it's earlier internet stages. She mentioned using our Cupcake Party Buttons to "spruce up clothes with fun buttons". Here's the link to the post DoeDeereBlogazine

Miss Alphabet: A Doll of a Designer!

2010-01-08T14:14:00.005-05:00

Oh my goodness, I can't beleive it's been so long since I've blogged. I'm amazed by all the people who blog daily- and actually have paragraphs worth of content. I guess they're called writers:) With the magnitude of tasks a small business owner has to take care of, blogging tends to be closer to the bottom of the list. I do however, like to take time out and share, as well as catalog, d.i.y. designers I come across that have quirky designs that make me happy to see creativity at it's best-as functional fashion!

I came across this gal on Twitter: Miss Alphabet, is a real life doll! She designs some very unconventional dresses, tops, skirts and accessories. I would have to describe her style as punky/lolita, although I'm sure she could expand on to that. She uses a lot of pink too, which is always a plus in my book! If you haven't already, definitely take a look at her designs on etsy MissAlphabet

I'm a Picture Person!

2009-09-04T12:41:00.003-04:00

Does it make me a geek to read a book on how to properly use a blog. I'm a girl of few words and personally I don't like to read too much online. I prefer to read paper. I'd rather not write a whole bunch of nonsense to explain the pictures I post. Pretty much what I do here is post pictures of things I like-mostly diy fashion designers, and a link to their website. Pretty simple but hopefully interesting enough to the people like me that just wanna see something they love and wanna know where to get it:)
