First Post!

We close on the new house on Friday!! So excited! I will soon have so many projects to work on I will be in hog heaven :) There are several things I have all ready begun, but you'll find out later what they are.
To begin this new blog, this new undertaking, I would like to introduce my lovely daughter, Salem. She recently turned ONE.
Her birthday party was quite fun for me. I planned it all out for MONTHS ha! I spent way too much time online looking up theme ideas, cakes, etc...
I settled on "Candyland" for the theme. It was loosely based on the boardgame with more of a focus on bright colors and different types of candy in general. When it all came together, our cake table was every child's fantasy!

The "Salem" banner was made from left over scrapbooking paper :)

Cupcake tower!

Oreo Balls. MMMMMM!

Red Velvet Cookies!

The jars used were recycled jars from my G-ma :) Found the ribbon for super cheap at the dollar store, most of the decorations came from there.

A majority of the decorations were home made.

The pinata was made from tissue paper and paper mache. So much fun to do! Looking back on it now, I wish I had taken pictures of the full process.

I found a party hat print out online that I cut out and pasted over some discount party hats. Salem's hat got special treatment :)

My sister and I made pipe cleaner lolipops covered with saran wrap.

Her first party was a success!
