Got Milk? Baby Shower

It seems baby season is upon my friends and I and I am LOVING it!

What's cuter than bedazzled onesies, cuddly stuffed animals, and miniature baby shoes??

...A baby shower that goes moo! 

My friend was expecting a sweet baby girl and I absolutely fell in love with the idea of doing a pink cow print baby shower.  I even had a darling cow outfit from little Audrey's baby shower that lended itself perfectly to the theme.

For the backdrop, I made this cute picket fence out of poster board.

Recycled baby food jars were used as mini milk jugs, and scrapbook strips added an extra ounce of adorable.

The little details were the most fun...

Ok, I had no idea cow print ribbon was so hard to find, but look how perfect the diaper cake came out!

It was such a fun baby shower, and kid-friendly too!

Now, I can't wait to get my snuggles when her little bundle of joy arrives:)

XOXO,

Lion King Birthday

Oh how I love the season of summer birthdays! Between my oldest daughter, my mom, my aunt, my brother-in-law, and my niece, the first two weeks of August are PACKED.  But let's be honest, it's the kiddos' parties that are really fun;)  While Little Fashionista settled on a Brave theme, Miss Sparklepants opted for Lion King and the result was simply RAWR-some!

A Brave Birthday

Bravery, fate, and birthday cake--that pretty much sums up Little Fashionista's 3rd (golden, might I add) birthday this year.  She absolutely insisted on all things Merida and the crafty goddess inside me was jumping for joy.  The possibilities were endless! From $1 bow and arrows to Disney Store's Twice-Upon-a-Year sale, I was able to score a princess party on a pauper budget.  Let me know what you think!

The party table was complete with (Non)Nightshade Berries, Bear Claws, Fate Pops, and Clan Cookies.

Beautiful cake by Diane Anderson.

Each kid got their own bow and arrow set to use in the archery competition and take home.

Highland Games-kiddie style.

The homemade Merida favor bags were a huge hit and so affordable!

Clan signs were made from burlap and felt, and didn't take nearly as long as I had expected to make them.

The witch's brew (punch with dry ice) also gave the kids a kick.  I had to explain it wasn't a real spell before they would drink it, though. LOL!

Happy birthday, Little Fashionista!

May you find your fate!

XOXO,

Bella C

All American Boy: Baby Shower

Red, white, and baby boy blue...it's time to welcome a new little boo! When my friend told me she was pregnant, I could not wait to start planning her baby shower....seriously. That's how my brain works. LOL.  Months in advance, we already had creative juices flowing with all of the possibilities.  One thing we knew for sure: with her Fourth of July due date, we wanted to play with a patriotic theme.  The result? An All-American Boy baby shower with hints of Southern flare from her Charleston roots.
