I will say that Rainie was a little bit of inspiration to me. She has been planning Talon's party pretty much since he was born. She is NOT a procrastinator (I guess that title is reserved for me.) So - about 6 weeks before her birthday, when Rainie literally had everything completely done for Talon's Carnival Party - I thought I better get started. And, crafting - I did.
I will say....I had a LOT of party inspirations:
A.Party Style
The TomKat Studio
Swanky Pear
You will say - I pretty much re-created all my favorites from all my inspirations. I was definitely laughed at with my spreadsheet-ing and lists and crafts. But, that's okay. It was fun. And you only turn 1 - once...right??!!
Welcome to the Party!! |

Ribbon Topiary made especially for the day. |
Ribon/Picture garland...it's now hanging in Charlie's room. |
