A Birthday Brunch!

Whew! I have been spinning these last few days! I am up to my neck in busy.
Some news on the wedding front- we have yet to set a date so that slows everything else but my brain is stewing and I even entered a contest for wedding help. Anyways, the more immediate task was throwing my younger sister a 19th birthday surprise party! All under 4 days and it went off without a hitch! It was brunch pink and blue themed with 11 close friends and family.
Here are some pictures from today!

I used mason jars to hold the plastic ware and paper straws added a little something extra don't you think?

"Having a great time!"

In the decanters I have some plan ol' OJ and a "Sparkling Strawberry Smoothie" Which was sparkling Welch's grape juice mixed with a Naked smoothie.

On the menu I used a lot of ready-made things such as a fruit tray turned into kabobs on a pretty platter and bagged Caesar salad with all the fixin's included!

Slurpin' from a Jar later after the party!

And I had to finish off with my Beautiful sister Caitlyn Elaine blowing out her candle on her cinnamon roll!

Have you hosted any parties lately? Are you planning on it soon? If you want my help email me or comment below on anything you see! Happy Sunday!

Harrison's First Birthday (Preview and a Craft).

My sons first birthday is roughly 6 months away. Yes, my first born is half way through babyhood! I'm all choked up about it, but so excited ya'll! I decided even though it is still a ways away that I wanted to get a jump on it! With that being said I already have the following:

• Theme! (Trying to keep it a secret for now)
• Centerpieces completed
• Two games

and so many more incomplete pieces!
I love to craft so let me give you a sneak peak at some things I've already made!

These are my homemade center pieces fashioned from old formula cans and some scrapbooking paper and other odds and ends all from Joann's fabrics (their website). While these are for my son's July first birthday party with a specific theme they could be used for any other out door event with different arrangements!


Here's my little booger earlier this afternoon posin' for his six month old photo shoot, I'll blog about homemade infant photo shoots soon!

I took these with my Sony Cybershot, no biggie  and no money to hire a photographer!
I hope ya'll have a happy Super bowl Sunday!
