Professional Event Planning, Here I Come!

I mentioned in a previous post that I love celebration, and I love to plan and host parties. I am re-mentioning it now because I got an interesting request last week. 

I have thought about getting an event planning certificate and planning parties and events professionally, but I always thought it would be 'in the future'. This happens with many things in my life (have I mentioned I am addicted to hobbies?) I thought that maybe after ACAD I could hop over to Mount Royal and do their Event Planning and Entrepreneurship Certificates, but it turns out I am better known as an event planner than I expected!

I got a request from a lady I know through the grapevine to plan her fundraiser! I am really nervous, and super excited, and I really don't want to mess up. To see some other parties I have planned you can go to: http://camisthemedparties.blogspot.ca/

Wish me luck! I will post some pictures of the event once it has happened.

Little Red Riding Hood Photo Shoot

I am very proud and excited to share with you my latest costume photo shoot, Little Red Riding Hood. I created this costume for Halloween of 2012, and got together with the customer (and model you are about to see) to document it so that I could use it for various marketing purposes and possibly in my portfolio.

 The model, miss Kelsey Lyle, was fantastic to work with! We had a great time the the park feeding off of each others creative energy, and basically playing around with ideas. I think you will agree the result was a thing of beauty. Check out my facebook page for more pictures of other costumes, and artwork I have created: https://www.facebook.com/ColossalChameleon

Stampede Bows!

I am happy to present to you, STAMPEDE BOWS! It has been announced that despite the Calgary floods the Stampede will go on, so celebrate and stampede in style with these bows for hair, around your neck, or alternate adornment. Get creative :D

$10 each or 3 for $22

Dreams and Floods

Many of you have probably heard about the southern Alberta floods of 2013.

Yes, that is (was) a truck

Because the downtown core is off limits, I have had a couple days off from my full time job to get ahead with Colossal Chameleon work. I have finished a new line of bows, and a costume photo shoot (stay tuned for my next post) and I have another shoot scheduled for this afternoon. I have had so much fun the last couple days and I can't help but dream of a day when this could be a full time gig for me.

Thanks for reading, have a great day and dream big.
