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.

 Entertainment for the night was a magic show by her cousin Casey and uncle Stephen.

Valentines Favorites


As with all holidays, I enjoy learning a bit of the history, who was the Saint, what were the pagan beliefs, how was it commercialized and spread worldwide? Go here for some excellent reading on Valentine's Day.

 But I also love the treats, the warm feelings declared by not only lovers, but friends and family as well. The decorations and of course, the treats are definately a huge plus as well! What is your favorite association or anti-reasoning of this holiday?
