First Birthday Bar-Bee-Que
The forecast is calling for 70 degrees this Sunday and it has given me some serious Spring fever! We love being outside during this time of year when it is not too cold and not too hot, it’s perfect! This party is sure to get you in the mood for Spring! This bee party theme is soft, sweet, girly and so much fun, just like the birthday girl!
The mason jar lids were topped with stickers to match the invitation and a hole punch was used to make a hole in the lid for a pink striped straw.
These water bottle labels made to match read, “It’s fun to BEE one!”
There were drinks for the adults too, they were found under the sign “Get Buzzed Here!”
What else would you serve at a bee theme birthday but Bar-BEE-Que pork?
All the food was labeled, including the bunzzzz.
The little queen bee herself in her lace crown.
We used this sweet Shrimp & Grits Kids ruffle bubble as inspiration for the paper goods.

Party + Event Planning: A Little Series
I started the thought process this week: My little one, (I call her “LB” for “Little Bit” as so many of you probably call your little ones) is almost another year older!
{I didn’t realize it was such a popular nickname, I just picked it out as I looked at her when she was a fresh new baby, 5lbs 7oz, a tiny “little bit”, so that was her nickname that stuck right away. To prove my point, here she is, 11 days old, the first day her Daddy went back to work at his office, next to a normal 8.5×11″ piece of paper wearing preemie clothes that were falling off of her. So tiny!}
I am totally off track right now, but I guess I felt I needed to tell you who I
am talking about when I refer to “LB”. Now, my friends, you will know!
Anyway, where was I?
I started the thought process this week: LB is going to be 4 soon! What, I am going to have a 4 year old?! Really, it is so true. So, with exactly 3 months until the big 4th birthday, that’s where my party planning begins. 3 months is a good range for me in the birthday party planning process.
I picked up some ribbon and fabric yesterday. They all work with my vision of her 4th birthday. I love fabric, I’m not much of a seamstress. Yes, I may have won our school’s 4-H sewing competition in 4th grade, but that about wraps up my sewing career. I think I am a patient person until I am sitting in front of this machine with my foot on the pedal thinking “when is this going to be over?” I’m not cut out for a sewing career. I do it a little for my daughter, but that is about it. I love fabric for its color, patterns, texture and possibilities…
I’m not going into much detail today, but just wanted to let you know about our upcoming party planning series! I’m really excited because I am a planner and I love to help you make your parties and events special. By thinking about an event well in advance and having a strategic plan, most times you will have a less stressful event and you will be a happy hostess! I’ll walk through some easy steps to help your next event be less stressful and more organized. We’ll have a post a week about it until we wrap it up!
Have a great weekend!
My Favorites of 2010 part 2
We are back with some of our favorite designs from 2010! We’re going to make this a quick, condensed version of some products that you may not have seen yet:
This is our cross design. It has been very popular for clothing and for the personalized melamine plates.
Our new ladybug design has been a hit, too, this year. We’ve been putting it on luggage tags, calling cards and plates.
We love our little owl buddy. She has shown up on placemats like this one, note cards, party invitations, stickers, plates, clothing…
Our door signs for babies continue to be one of our most popular items. This is one of my favorite color combinations. These signs can go on a hospital door when the baby is born and then go on the nursery door! These make great shower gifts. A ribbon bow is tied on the sign to hang it up. They can be found here on our website.
This is my favorite family enclosure card. I love the color combination because it works well for everyone in the family.
These precious twins were born in August and after a long stay out of state, they finally came home to a happy family. This design was on the back of their Christmas card.
This is another of my favorite birth announcements from this past year. A modern look with a cutesy twist.
Thanks for following along as I’ve been reflecting on 2010… now on to 2011! We have much to do, many more designs coming soon and a super cute cupcake party to show off very soon!
Hope you have a great day!
