Quickie Idea Post - Party Art Project

So, I found this cute "Paint your own tea set" craft project at Walmart. I am thinking this will be great for a cute activity center idea. I am planning on painting the tea pot with "Happy Birthday Cara" on the front, then have everyone sign their name on it with a permanent marker. Then, each child can paint their own tea cup and saucer to take home with them!

We hit the 1 month mark!

My baby girl is 11 months old today! That means the one month countdown begins. Hopefully I don't lose my mind before then, although that is a considerable possibility...

I am thinking I need to get a little organized. Maybe come up with a checklist, and break some projects down into time lines to keep me on track. Although, with my slight OCD, that could become a major perfectionist project in itself. Wow, a rush of overwhelmness-ness is hitting me just thinking about it.

Just gotta keep focused on the task at hand. It is suppose to be fun, not stressful! Besides, I promised the hubby it's going to be a simple party and that I won't go overboard. More later...

Cara's Birthday Party - The sleepless nights have begun!

Well, after many a sleepless nights browsing through cake pictures and videos on the internet, we have FINALLY selected a theme for Cara's first birthday! YAY!

Ready? Drumroll please............a Very Merry Birthday Tea Party! That's right, we are going to use the Alice in Wonderland "unbirthday" tea party theme.

So, the search began for decoration ideas. I scoured the internet trying to find decent Alice in Wonderland clipart, and this website was the most helpful:

Here is our official invitation...if you are looking for an Alice in Wonderland invitation for personal use, feel free to copy my genius if you like! (click on the picture for a larger image. I also blacked out my address...not that any of you are freaky stalkers, or that I am interesting enough to stalk. But, safety first!)

Now, I need to focus on decorations. I cannot find ANY high resolution pictures of Alice in Wonderland, but I did find some great coloring pages on Disney's website. I was able to turn those into big, nice pictures that I colored with photoshop. I am planning on getting those printed on cardstock to use on the walls. I will post links to the pretty, high resolution pictures in my next blog for you to use if you need them as well!
