On Vacation

Colorblind Productions will be on vacation until August 19th with limited access to e-mail and voice mail

2010 Begins

Happy New Year! Things are moving and shaking here at Colorblind Productions and we really look forward to introducing you to all of our new endeavors! That being said WE HAVE A NEW WEBSITE! Please feel free to visit www.colorblindprd.com and tell us what you think. We’d love to hear your feedback.

To boot, we’re starting the New Year off with our own company resolutions which we feel are important and something you all will greatly appreciate! The most important of these is to really improved communication. We’ve read the reviews of us on other online websites (wedding wire, project wedding, etc.) and heard personally from our clients that they absolutely love us but they would love it even more if we’d be more available, more responsive and generally more accessible. So beyond e-mail and our office number, you can always contact our cell phone numbers via text message. We’ve seen many of our clients friend us personally on facebook as well as our business facebook page and use that to contact us. We have a number of clients who tweet with us or contact us on Instant Messenger. Whatever communication style serves you best.

We look forward to a wonderful year and sharing memories with all of you.

Delay in response due to death in the family

Please accept our apology for the delay in responses over the past few weeks. We had a death in the family just before the Christmas holiday and have focused largely on that during this time.

We admittedly have neglected our e-mail. We are making our way through the backlog and will send a reply as soon as they are read. It may take a few days to reply otherwise.

Thanks for your patience and support.

Robot Party

Creativity goes a long way into making a Robot Party come to life. And I have to say this was a very fun concept for me to put together! For a 4th birthday party nothing seemed more appropriate for the Robot obsessed little boy then to be surrounded by his metal friends.
I had found heads similar to this online, but opted against drilling holes into cans or using glue and opted instead for empty metal paint cans I found at the Hardware store and high quality magnet buttons. Simple to put together, simpler still to take apart. You can be as creative or not as you wish and it’s very kid safe should you wish to offer a ‘make your own Robot head game.’

The bodies were a combination of spray painted cardboard boxes and Styrofoam blocks. And beyond the nuts, bolts and washers used, were mini cupcake holders, slinkys, and reflector lights.

The Robot cake was a great hit, which was hilarious as it has humble beginnings as a Costco Hanukkah cake. I personally am a huge fan of the Costco sheet cake, but wanted something far more robot specific, so I came up with the brilliant idea to hack up the sheet cake and make a simple marshmallow fondant covering to create my own creation. I wish I had taken a picture of the cake prior to my removing the big blue menorah and cutting it up in bits, but you get the concept…

And the outcome was perfect!

Coming Soon! Self adhesive removable Fotomurals

We are happy to announce that we will soon be providing our large photo mural tiles from afotomural.com in ultra removable material, making the assembly of fotomurals to most surfaces as easy as peel and stick. And what’s best, the material leaves no possibility of an adhesive residue so if you wish to move your mural to another location you can do so.

Our trial copy has been successfully tested in a kitchen, subject to heat from the sink, and other precarious instances without issue!

Once it’s officially available we will let you know! Keep an eye out at www.afotomural.com in the interim

TWOty Fruity

As I told you in a prior blog post, we took the deliciousness of fresh fruit throughout this family's 2 year old celebration!

Not only was it kind on the eye but it was easy for guests to grab the drink of their choice at any time during the event leaving the host free to mingle about.

The dining table was acombination of all things fruit! With bamboo plates over red plates and individual apples as place settings.

And what is better to end a twoty fruity party then a collection of fruit desserts!

Proof that even in the smallest of spaces, a little thought and decoration goes a long way!
