    Once upon a time, my birthday was a great excuse to get a little silly. This year, my birthday’s on a Thursday, and I have a one year old.

    Maybe someday, I’ll enjoy a few of these poolside. . . (more…)

  2. Charlotte in Wonderland

    August 19, 2011 by crystal

    As you may have read from my earlier post – My baby is one year old! I guess this makes her a toddler now, but I’m going to keep calling her my baby for a little while longer. Like, until she starts kindergarten.

    Charlotte’s Alice in Wonderland party was awesome! She had a great time, and I think our guests had a nice time too. My mom says that it’s a good thing that I’m off summers and Charlotte’s birthday is in August – because I planned this party like it was my J-O-B! Thanks so much to our guests – especially those that helped set up (Hi, Kerri and Eric!) and those who helped clean up when the rain started!! Luckily, the rain held off until the evening – and the temperature was actually reasonable!

    A picture is worth 1,000 words, so here are a few photo montages from Charlotte’s big day. . . And who doesn’t love a good montage, right?

  4. Pom Poms

    August 11, 2011 by crystal

    I love the look of lanterns and pom poms hanging from the ceiling. I have been in a crafty mood lately, so I decided to try and make some for Charlotte’s birthday party. We’re putting up a couple of tents outside, so I thought they might look nice hanging in them. I looked around and found Martha Stewart’s instructions on how to make this. She makes everything look too easy, so here’s how this crafty project really went down.

  6. Five Tiered Cupcake Stand

    August 8, 2011 by crystal

    You read that right! FIVE tiers! We are having cupcakes for Charlotte’s first birthday party, and her theme is Alice in Wonderland. This was really, REALLY easy to do. The best part? It only cost $11 in glassware and $4 for glue. That’s it! I want to give a shout out to Meghan for the idea. She made one of these bad boys, which inspired me to try it on my own.

  8. Birthday Banner

    July 25, 2011 by crystal

    I was wondering around a party supply store when I realized that I am so very tired of streamers and regular, boring birthday banners! I looked around online, and flag banners seem to be all the rage. They are also really easy (and cheap) to make! (more…)

  9. “Wonder”ful Party Hats

    July 18, 2011 by crystal

    Charlotte is turning one in a month (WOW, right?!), and the theme for her birthday party is “Alice in Wonderland.” I’m so excited about this. I have several fun do it yourself projects planned, and I plan on sharing them with you. So, stay tuned for some fun party crafts!

    To start us off, what’s a party without some great party hats? We will have two different kinds, in case some of the manly men aren’t into mini hats. The first hat is based on a video on this website. It’s about halfway down, under the title “How to Make a Mini Top Hat Video.”

    I am a crazy person who made 28 of these things, so I had a whole stack of supplies. To make just one hat, (more…)
