A Handmade Birthday Party!

I had a great time getting ready for my son’s first birthday party. I choose a dinosaur theme because for some reason it seems my son is always growling at me (like a dinosaur) so it seemed appropriate. I found this great open source software program online called InkScape which I hear is a lot like Adobe Illustrator but its FREE! I used it to create all the paper designs as well as the iron on transfer onesie he wore for the cake photo. Turns out my son doesn’t have a sweet tooth

You can download the program at www.inkscape.org. I was worried about viruses but so far so good. It’s been on my computer now for about 5 months and still running strong. I created cupcake toppers, 2 banners, Frisbee and water bottle and bubble bottle labels. I highly recommend this program if you are looking to DIY your kids next party. It’s a great way to save some $$ and it was fun to manipulate shapes into cute prehistoric animals! Have Fun!

I look forward to seeing you there. Please stop by and do some holiday shopping and introduce yourself!

Ok, so my wedding was many moons ago now and I have been holding on to these ladybug wine charms we gave to guests as favors.  I am offering them on my etsy.com page as I have several remaining (I tend to overestimate) Here is a picture of what they looked like on the tables.  Visit my site to see an actual picture of the individual charms.
