1st birthday party decor

Thursday, April 11, 2013

I was so pleased with how Blair's first birthday party turned out. And I owe it all to Pinterest! ;) Ok, some ideas were completely mine but many minds are always better than one. A month later here are the party details...

I think party planning for a living would be so fun! Stressful, sure, (I'm remembering when I was sweating putting up that butcher paper as guests were arriving!!!) but such a great way to let out your creative energy. In another life I will be a party planner. And a buyer for Nordstrom. And a celebrity (why not.) ;)

  1. Haha - I have about 20 others jobs in my other life, too! And actually, three of those would be a buyer, party planner, and celebrity!

    Party looks GREAT! :)

  3. I'm a long time reader and have never commented but have to ask a question! My daughter turns one in a month and I am planning on creating a one out of pictures like the one above. How big was it? Also, were the pictures 4x6? Thanks!
