It's a 1st Birthday Party!

I had a 1st birthday party for my little girl, and thought I would share some photos. Since her birthday was at the end of April, I chose a garden theme.
Here is the birthday banner, which was colorful and fun!




Above is one of the flower poms I made. I also made a yellow and light pink one, but didn't really get great pictures of them all together. That's the challenge of hosting a party I think.....trying to get nice pictures among other things. :)
This is the cake which I really wanted to make, but my husband didn't want me to. He thought we should try to keep things simple by ordering a cake. The top layer was mango flavor with raspberry filling and the bottom was vanilla with a vanilla and strawberry filling.


Last time we had a party, all of our little neices chose cupcakes over cake, so I had to make a small cupcake tower. Couldn't help myself! I discovered that one of them only likes the icing, so next time, I will probably fill a cupcake cup with just icing and no cake just for her. ;)

I made mini cookies as well, decorated with royal icing and colorful sanding sugar.

This is a springtime sugar cookie house that I have been wanting to make for a very long time. I finally got to make it, and can't wait to make another one!

Last but not least, favors! I found these pretty pink boxes and had to have them. They were actually perfect, because I was able to put cookies in them for the adults and BabyLegs in them for the little ones!

Thank you to everyone who entered and remember to check back soon for another fun GIVEAWAY!! On my quest to refresh the look of a few rooms in my home, I realized that purchasing too many new items would get kind of pricey. To stay within my budget, I decided to move some of the wall art and decor from one room to another and only purchase a few new items. In particular, a vase, some decorative pillows and wall decals which I have been wanting to get for a while now. All Modern is one of over 200 CSN stores and is the perfect place to find all of these items and more. The other CSN stores offer everything from footwear to luggage to home improvement products. They definitely have something for everyone. I have always opted for traditional paintings and picture frames to decorate my walls, but have been hearing
