my life & my house! Julianna's birthday is only days away{Friday!} ::tearslotsoftears:: and her big birthday party extravaganza is on Sunday!! ::eeekk:: Can you say crunch time? My to-do list seems a mile long and every time I cross something off the list another thing is added! Luckily my mom and SIL came over this past Saturday to help out and I definitely put them to work! I am so thankful to have them!
I know I haven't posted too many details about the party other than the fact that the theme is pink and green ladybugs & polka dots. I guess I have been too busy obsessing planning & creating (I use that term loosely) to actually sit down and write about it. I also didn't want to give too many party details away because some who will be attending the party also read my blog and I wanted to try and keep things under wraps until the big day! I am kind of weirdo like that. Forgive me?
So some may remember a post from November about me trying to be crafty and make some of the decor myself, like the centerpieces. I have changed the topiaries a bit and love the way they have turned out! I also decided to make a ribbon wreath for the front door. I have seen these being sold on Etsy for upwards of $35.00! I made mine for about $15.00! I'm sure I could have made it even cheaper but the ribbon I used was kind of pricey. I am making/made a few other things and I am praying it all turns out well!

This is now how the centerpieces will look. I am very happy with the way they turned out!
This is my interpretation of a ribbon wreath. I chose to make it a little differently than some of the ones I had originally seen. It may not be perfect but I don't think it's too bad for my first attempt!
This little number will be apart of the decor. I have a lot of them! & let's just say I never dreamed that one day I would have about 200 yards of tulle in my house!
The invitation. I LOVE how it turned out! My friend Becca at Jumping Jax Designs made them for me and they are perfect! If you ever need invitations, cards or even a blog makeover, Becca is your girl!
Only 6 days of party prep. left!!
WOW, ONE YEAR...isn't it crazy! Great sneak peak...love the DIY projects!! Can't wait to see how it all turns out:) Love the tutu..I can't wait to get one (or several:) for my little girl too when she arrives!! Have fun.
