Watermelon Birthday Party

For my daughter's baptism and first birthday I decided to throw a watermelon themed party. Watermelon is her favorite food so I thought it would be cute and the hot pink and bright green color combo is so much fun. Here are some details from the day!

Banner hung on mantle - so bummed this is the only picture I got and the lighting is horrible.

The most amazing birthday cake

Pumpkin Birthday Banner

Every year I offer to help my friend out with decorations for her girls' birthday parties. This year her daughter who is turning two is getting a fall/pumpkin themed event. She asked if it was possible to make a banner shaped liked pumpkins. I had never done it before, so I was excited to go outside my comfort zone. I'm really happy with the way it turned out.

Nautical Baby Shower

My nephew's baby shower was a blast! The sailboats and whales were just too cute. My banner fit perfectly above the dessert table. And the diaper cake managed to stay in one piece. I'm in the process of working on completing the guest scrapbook. I had everyone sign a onesie cut-out and took their picture in front of a large sheet of nautical fabric (which I called the photo booth). Now I've got to match photos and comments together. My goal is to bring it to the hospital for mom the day of his birth.

Happy 2nd Birthday Banner

Earlier in the month I shared my paper haul from Scrapbook.com. I purchased all of this gorgeous paper to make a fun owl-themed birthday banner for my favorite 2 year old girl. Here is a picture of the final banner. These are a labor of love, but well worth the time and it gets easier each year (mostly thanks to my Gypsy!). This will be my birthday tradition for her. Her cake was super adorable and delicious. It was a very fun party! I'm hoping her mom sends me the pictures she took with her camera - which is much much nicer than my little Elph.

Sophia's 1st Birthday Party

Sophia banner for inside! Look at that amazing spread!

Today we celebrated little Sophia's 1st birthday! My friend had a vision for a beautiful ladybug party for her baby girl and it turned out amazing. I provided the banner and to-go containers for the candy. Her mom carved up that adorable ladybug watermelon fruit salad. Way cooler than my plain bowl from last month. Here are some pictures from the fun day!
