Birthday Parties Galore!

***KEEP SCROLLING FOR THE GIVEAWAY!***
It seems as though everyone is ordering birthday hats! Are there more birthdays in the spring and summer months? Or is everyone celebrating the fact it is summer and summer means outdoor parties and fun times? I decided to do a little research on birthdays since the surge of birthday hats has me wondering. Here is what I found out. First I did a search on my favorite search engine google. The first entry came up from Wiki. More people are born in August and the second month is October. I went to another search engine--Yahoo. From ABC news in 1995 the most popular birth months were August and September--Christmas and New Years would have something to do with this.
My opinion July is sure a popular month also! Right now Sugar Locks averages between 10-15 birthday hats a week! In May I only did 30 hats total. There has been a lot of calls and emails requesting special hats that match the party theme--keep it coming! Coming up with new ideas and changing color combinations are a lot of fun! Keep checking out the new birthday hats section and always ask if I can match your theme first--I haven't turned anyone away yet!

I am in the middle of planning a Birthday Soiree (fancy word for party) for my two girls Gwendelyn (4) and Olivia (2). I will be letting you all in on all the fun as the preparations come to life to create a very memorable Fancy Nancy and Minnie Mouse Clubhouse combined birthday parties! You may wonder why am I posting my party on here--there is a reason--Fancy Nancy is one of the most searched for names for kids parties! Plus I love to plan and decorate creative parties for my children!

One of the first things I did was find a photo card from Shutterfly. You may wonder why I didn't use an invitation from my collection that is not yet all online. I didn't use my own advice and thought about the turn around deadlines. Instead I took an adorable picture of the two girls and made a picture invitation card.
These adorable birthday number t shirts can be found here.

The challenge is to create a birthday party using two different themes. I want my girls to have the fun of choosing what should be on their OWN cake to reflect what they like at the moment. Miss. Gwendelyn is all about Fancy Nancy which is an easy way to decorate. Miss. Olivia LOVES Minnie Mouse from Mickey's Clubhouse another pretty easy one. I decided my colors would be hot pink, green, purple and orange. A trip to Hobby Lobby was on the agenda this week so I went through the birthday aisle and I found the perfect plates, napkins, cutlery and ribbon!!



These plates got the ball rolling. That night I went searching on Oriental Trading for decorations. The first thing I knew what I wanted to look for was big flowers to hang and lucky for me these were on sale and BIG I ended up with 24 of these flowers.



Stay tuned as more party decorations start coming in! Wait until you see the Fancy Nancy Applique outfit and the new Minnie Mouse clubhouse designs and outfits!!

Christmas in July?!?!?!?

Last week I was applaud at Hobby Lobby for putting out all Christmas decorations even lighting the trees! Was there Halloween and Fall stuff adorning the shelves? Nope, but there were Christmas lights, ribbon, garland, tinsel and ornaments packed on the shelves. I of course had all 3 children with me and they oohed and ahhed over the lights and pretty ornaments. Then the questions came "When is Santa coming?" "Mom I want this for Christmas?" "Where is the snow?" When young children see all of the Christmas stuff out they automatically think Santa is coming now! Boy aren't they disappointed when I pointed out Christmas is 6 months or 1/2 a year away. They heard the number 6 and think days. Since I am in this constant Q&A and arguing about Christmas I thought instead of being a Scrooge I would play Santa which is more fun!

So Christmas in July sale begins all Christmas t shirts are $15.00!!! (savings of $10!) Even better long and short sleeve options are available! Don't wait this offer is good until July 7th!!! No coupon or code is needed. Please note being that these are Christmas t shirts the order will take a full 2 weeks. Please order different products separately if you can't wait the full 2 weeks.

Click HERE for the Christmas shirts!

By the way our Hobby Lobby trips are numbered and now I make sure that dad or a sitter is with them before I enter the store.

New Shipping Time Frame

Thank you to all of my wonderful customers! You have made Sugar Locks so popular that the shipping time frame is 10 business days to 14 business days. No exceptions! Usually I am able to squeeze a small order out sooner but for right now there is no possibility. I do apologize if this causes anyone inconvenience. When everything is shipping on a better schedule I will then start being able to accommodate quicker orders. Starting in June I will have full time help which will then allow me to lift the shipping time frame.

**When placing any orders please indicate a shipping date that is 10-14 BUSINESS days away otherwise your order will not be able to ship out in time.

Thank you for your understanding!

Stephen Joseph Bottle Buddies



Stephen Joseph Bottle Buddies are unique, affordable and ageless! When the bottle buddies came out last year I tried the product out at our hair salon and I was amazed by who was purchasing! I figured how cute for kids but I didn't expect a Harley Davidson Motorcycle group to all want them for their rides!! Then the bachelorette girls that had to have them for their party and the list goes on..... I have sold and personalized the bottle buddies for kids, adults and businesses!


Personalization is done on the strap and makes a great item to take on vacation to the zoo or just outside when playing. Made to fit a water bottle, however some sippy cups and alcoholic beverages also fit nicely! At $6.00 each ($7.00 personalized) makes a great birthday party favor! The adjustable strap allows toddlers and adults easily carry them. No more "Hey Mom can you hold my drink!!" Now your child can hold their own! For babies and toddlers insert a sippy cup or bottle and loop around your stroller's bar or strap and pull through--this way your bottle/sippy cups never falls on the ground while shopping!! Great for car rides loop around the crotch strap and pull through, never again will you hear crying when the bottle falls.


The new bottle buddies are hear and in stock!! The adorable Pirate, Flower, Hippo and Mermaid are way too cute!!!




These cute bottle buddies are on sale until the end of the month! Stock up for the summer birthdays! Even though I keep six of each in stock I am constantly selling out on the website and at the salon so please contact me if you need more than 6!!
