Fall Birthday Planning

Our little baby is almost one and I have had lots of planning to do.  Here are few things in progress.

1- B-day Banner is made. Except for hanging the pennants on ribbon.  We found some nice chocolate brown and orange and white polka dot paper from Michaels and scored some brown and orange plates from the $1 section at Target.

2-  The 1 circles are made for the cupcakes

                  
This fabric down below that the # 1 circles are sitting on happen to be the fabric for the sleeves of Madelyn's dress.

3. Cupcake Liners are bought.  I originally thought about getting polka dot cupcake liners but changed my mind since the circles would have polka dots too.  Plus, I am hoping to dress up the cupcake stand with leftover trim from the party hat.  Speaking of trim... check out the super clearance trim Michaels for $1. Here are some damask chocolate brown liners we found at Michaels as well.  Gotta love that place.

4. Birthday Hat Trimmings which look like they were hand made to match her dress!  What a find.  We snagged up some yellow and orange pom pom fringe.  Some Ric Rac Orange Ribbon, some fun yellow ribbon that looks like a ruffle almost and some brown sequins.

Here is a close up of the trim...

My mom actually gave me this cute little bud vases for my Birthday few backs and thought they could some how be used at the party.

So, there you have it. Lots left to do but the stages of planning are on there way.

Madelyn's First Birthday is fast approaching...

I thought I would brainstorm on here! What better place right?? What about this for a smash cake. Do you think we should leave the pumpkin top or just do the bottom portion? Or pumpkin top minus the jack o lantern face?? We are totally doing a pumpkin theme. It is the only time mom will have a chance to decide on birthday theme! I bet when she is two she will be saying "I want Elmo for my birthday or Dora. Who knows.
