Today was lil miss Olivia's 1st Birthday Party. It was a blast creating everything BUTTERFLY. From Invitations, Cupcakes, Rice Krispies, Banner and a front door sign.

Dino Fun

Dinosaur parties are always so much FUN. For this party, we did the personalized water bottles, large banner with dinosaur shapes and gummy kabobs as loot bags with personalized thank-you tags. And of course....CUPCAKES but I forgot to take a picture of them. I am famous for that.

peeps topper ~ free download

ok...if these aren't the cutest little things around..what are? so simple to make. i found this free download at http://www.eighteen25.blogspot.com/ I was trying to figure out what i could give to jordyn's little 2 year old friends last year in preschool... well ta da...i whipped up a few this aft and it took me no time at all. one row of your fav colored peeps chicks fits perfectly in a ziploc snack-size bag then with white cardstock cut out 6 3/4" x 4 1/2" pieces (i used my cutter so that the lines were straight) fold in half and staple on bag or use double sided tape

 The kidies loved them and so did the parents. I hope you enjoy making them as much as I did.
