Our New Business

Hi readers... Brian and I have started a new adventure.  My uber-talented hubby built a PHOTO BOOTH from scratch... yes, you heard me, from scratch.  We've been throwing the idea around for years about starting our own lil business but couldn't find the right thing to do.  Brian was reading a magazine and found a company that sells turn-key photo booths.  We received information from this company and the more Brian looked in to it, the more he realized that he could do it himself.  With a couple weeks of research, about 1/2 the cost of buying a photo booth, and about 3 weeks of manufacturing in the Patterson garage, we now have ourselves our very own Photo Booth.  Tada!

 

 

I'm so happy of our decision.  Brian and I are excited to have something to do as a couple.  Our plan is to rent the photo booth to events like weddings, work parties, fundraisers, CHRISTMAS parties (these are coming soon, anyone interested?), or any other gatherings of a bunch of people.

 

 

We were able to debut our photo booth at our 4th annual Halloween party.  All of our guests had a blast taking funny pics and putting on our assortment of props and costumes.  What was really cool was that they immediately uploaded to facebook so everyone could see them online and tag themselves.

Our first dilemma.... we don't have a name!  Any suggestions out there would be very helpful, so leave me a message if you have ideas for our new company name.

 

Brian will be working on an enclosure soon and we will have customizable props and backdrops.  Sooo... if there are any events coming up in the Houston area that needs a photo booth, please let us know.  We'd love to do business with you!

Halloween Party Recap

 

For those of you close to us, you know we have a Halloween Bash every year.  This was our 4th Annual Patterson's Halloween Party.  Each year I seem to keep buying more decorations and looking for new creative ideas.  Last year we added our mini “Haunted House” and this year we added the Photo Booth.  The creation and back-story of the photo booth will be in another post, but for now you just need to know we had one at our party… and it was spookily Awesome.

 

Here are some pics of our decorations at our party… (imagine red/dark lighting and spooky music)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yum... and food.  I always find a new treat to make.  This year I made little spiders.  Chocolate covered Ritz crackers surrounding peanut butter… complete with eyes and licorice legs.

 

 

And of course, what party wouldn’t be complete without Jello Shots… with worms and gummy body parts.

Thanks to my hubby and my Mom for helping with the party.  It was a great success and I hope every one had a SPOOKTACULAR good time  (cheesy... I know).   But really, thanks to those who came.  Can't wait for next year!
