Elisabeth's Whimsical One Year Old Birthday Party


My sister, who has 4 boys, was so excited to collaborate with a baker to make this cake. It was perfect!
 I helped make some balloons, but this flower basket was by my fabulous sister, Pookie the Clown!
 Paper garland made by me and my mother in law using scrapbook paper.
I made this adorable birthday crown. It is actually very easy and fun to make! Just make a paper cone out of sturdy cardstock and embellish it. I used cupcake liners for the paper flower and I cut up crepe paper and glued it on the top and bottom.
 These cute boxes and picks are from Micheal's. Adding cotton candy to them made them useful!
The scrapbook paper used in the garland and party hat made a cute #1. I think I will try and do this every year!
These napkins were the inspiration for the theme. We quickly planned this party during a vacation, as in like, one day, so it was fun to come up with something whimsical, inexpensive and matching.
 This gift is pretty much only given as a cruel joke for the happy parents.

 She threw a fit for a few mintues, but then resumed to joyfully eating her cupcake.

 Entertainment for the night was a magic show by her cousin Casey and uncle Stephen.
 Her very first pigtails!

Cover Me in Triangles



Let's talk garlands. More so, I write you read, we shall chat with our minds. Pennants, banners, buntings, single flags, what'ere you wish to name them, they are the same in spirit. Usually they are triangular pieces of fabric (though some surprises occur as well) in a lovely line or toothpicks to hang in various themes.


Where have I seen them? Weddings? check. Parties? check. Cakes? check. Let's face it, they are everywhere! Have you bannered up yet? Do you dislike them? Too circus-y for you? Do you want one?

Now, we can see all of the lovely lovely banners can be used in so many ways! They are everywhere, and they can be all over your home too! I wrote a little tutorial on making a no sew easy fabric garland here if you are in a crafty type mood. ... and I had about 10 more to show you too that were stunning, but all of my amazing blogging and shop redo photos have been lost... so bare with me as I try to cope these next two weeks!

Also... I am having a free shipping sale in my Jeweled Ambrosia shop to all of my blog readers! Just mention that you read my blog upon checkout and I will refund your shipping via Paypal as well as include a little "thank you" gift in your package!
