Puppy Party!

A few weeks ago my friend threw he daughter a Puppy party and asked if I'd help make a few items! Just thought I'd share what I helped out with! I still have yet to see the pics from the actual party...I bet it was SUPER CUTE!

I made this sign using, paper, a dollar store frame, some vinyl, and ribbon.
These dog bowls were found at one of the dollar stores in the colors of the party....what a score! Just added some vinyl to make em even cuter!
I also made this banner! Have I mentioned yet....I LOVE making banners! They are so time consuming, but I'm always happy with the end result!
This bowl had some chex muddy mix! Cute huh?!
I love the fun bright colors for this puppy party! Thanks Jenny for letting me make these and for the cute hair bows I got in return! Check out her shop for some super cute headbands!

Chicken Wire Frame & Momma is OVER THE HILL!

I am up so late! It's 11:45 at night right now and I'm waiting for my hubby to get home from the airport with his momma. She flew into town to go to Disneyland with us tomorrow! My mom is coming as well...which means Paul and I will get to ride adult rides for like the first time since we've had kids! I can't wait! I'm so excited I feel like a kid myself! Anyways...yesterday my momma turned 50! OVER THE HILL! I say that because it makes her mad...haha, but not in a bad way mad, it's my way of joking with her! She had been telling me she wanted another magnet board to hang up all of the pictures I give her of the kiddies (I LOVE having family pics done! I'd do em' every month if I could...haha!). I decided to try make one of those chicken wire frames instead that I have been seeing all over bloggie land!

Here's what you need to make it:
-Picture frame, just the frame (or you could save the backing and cover it with fabric, that would be cute too!)
-Chicken Wire, I bought a 10ft roll at Lowes for $3.50 ish
-Spray Paint
-Staple Gun & Staples

First:
Spray your frame with your spray paint, I used Valspar Satin Finish. I liked the color!
Second:
Once dry, roll out your chicken wire and staple it into place. The excess amount I just twisted in out of fear of cutting wrong pieces and it all comes unraveled!
Third:
Fill it with cute stuff! Before I gave it to my mom I put some random bows to show that this could be a hair bow holder as well as a picture holder!


Then to give it to my mom I redecorated it...she's not into hair clippies with flowers so she probably wouldn't like it how I first had it...plus I don't think Hannity or I want to part with some of those flowers....well me anyways, Hannity quit wearing bows at about 7 months old...it was seriously the saddest day ever for me! Still everyday (She's almost 14 months now) I put a headband on her in hopes she will want to wear it but no luck! I cut out a 50 with my cricut, she said she was taking that off! Haha!
I just used little clothespins for hanging! On some of them I added embellishments. This is my favorite one! The flower is from Stampin' up. I bought the package for making earrings, and had some left.
Here it is finished! We got her a $50 Downeast gift card, a dollar for every year!
Here is my momma! She's pretty great! And she's always guaranteed to have a Tab in her hand...yes they still make that stuff! Haha! Happy Birthday momma! We had her over for dinner then my hubby stayed home and watched the kiddos while we went to the movies and saw Horrible Bosses. That movie was pretty funny, but WARNING: LOTS OF SWEARING! We did laugh so hard though and I almost had a straight up laugh attack on one scene...it was pretty hard to get myself to quit laughing!
After the movie I came home and found out that my hubby got both kids to bed by 8:30...what the heck!? Landon NEVER falls asleep that easy for me! Hannity does...she is the BEST sleeper ever! It was a good thing though because Paul had to study! He is taking Step 2 of his board exams next week! We are really hoping for him to get the Orthopedic Residency, so we need him to do AMAZING on this test! 1 week left to study! We are both so nervous! Wish him/us luck! Anyways, I still have so may posts to catch up on! Hawaii Trip, London/Paris Trip, Michigan Trip, now Disneyland trip, plus many other daily events and tutorials! Stay tuned!

Hannity turns 1!

On Saturday June 4, our sweet little girl turned 1! I can't believe that a year has already gone by since she was born! She is growing up too fast and I wish she would just stop! That's obviously not going to happen though! She has had quite the first year! Lots of fun little trips that she won't remember (luckily I take like thousands of pictures when we go on vacation!), such as Arizona, Michigan, Utah (of course BYU Football and Basketball games!), Disneyland, Hawaii, London and Paris....what a well traveled girl! She is super mellow for the most part, yet she is kinda sassy at the same time if she doesn't get her way! She puts of with her big brother very well (he steals like every toy she touches!), she is the best sleeper (2-4 hour naps, and sleeps 8-12 hours a night, and goes to bed pretty much immediately when she is laid in her crib!). She's pretty much a perfect little gal! She goes in spurts of repeating every word we say, but then never repeats the words again. Some of the words she says on a regular basis are; Momma, Dadda, Landon, milk, cracker, shoes, fish, dogs, and birdie! She gets so excited when she sees birdies, and she is terrified of doggies in real life but not in pictures. She sat up at 5 months, crawled at 6 months and currently takes 4 steps at the most at one time! She has the BEST smile with the cutest little dimples! Her smile can brighten any ones day! We love you sweet Hannity and are so lucky to be your parents!!! I could go on and on about this sweet little girl of ours but I'll stop now before I bore anyone to death! Now on to the party!


The morning of Hannity's birthday party my friend Mandy did some family pics! I brought some of the party props and we used them for the pictures, and I'm so glad I did because how cute are these?! The best pat was Mandy edited a few pics for me to use at the party! How nice is she?! I bought the cute pennant that's hanging at Target for $4 and it's fabric! So cute! There is a sign that says "Welcome to Hannity's Sweet Shoppe" it has a glare on it so it's a little hard to see, but i got that from an Etsy shop called Dimple Prints. They have all kinds of cute things in their store that you purchase and it arrives via email and you print it yourself! I love that because it makes it very affordable and you can reuse the files!
I love her face in this one...it's her way of saying "Don't you dare think about taking away my candy!" Her birthday outfit was purchased off of etsy from Three Little Starfish. I was in search for just a shirt for her birthday and the second I saw this little top my search was over and I got a whole outfit!
Oh, and isn't her headband just darling?! My friend Jenny made it for Hannity. The bummer part....I put in on backwards so you can't see it but there is a teal rosette on the other side! Oops! I was just so excited that she was keeping the headband on (she started pulling them off at about 7 months...worst day of my life! I still buy her lots of headbands though...lol!) I failed to notice it was on backwards!
I found this cute bucket at Hobby Lobby for $1.50, and it held the perfect amount of lollipops! I ordered these from Oriental trading company and they are pretty tasty little suckers! I got the cute little labels at Ciao Bambino, another cute Etsy shop that I found. The package had so many labels I put some on the treat bags and used them for cupcake toppers and I still have tons left!
A friend form high school made these cute little cake pops. She doesn't have a facebook page or website that I know of for her stuff or else I'd post a link. Her name is Krysten Jankowski though and she makes super cute cakes and cake pops!
These water labels and juice box labels were the labels from Dimple Prints.
The cute fabric just so happened to match her birthday outfit, so I had to have it when I saw it at Hobby Lobby!
I had a little goody bucket....there were way more pencils than this but my son hid them and still till this day they have yet to be found! The cupcake notepads were from Oriental Trading and the pencils, erasers, and stickers were from Target in the Party isle, Spritz brand, and the ribbon is from Hobby Lobby!
This is one of the tables I had for people to sit at. I painted the 1 and mod podged some birthday paper to it! Paper, fabric, 1, and H are from Hobby Lobby....cute baby in the picture....made by me and my hot hubby!
I had random chairs scattered all over for people to sit on. I decided it would be way cute to add a vinyl cupcake to each chair, so I did, and each chair had different colors that went with the party!
Every Sweet Shoppe party needs ice cream and toppings! I kept it simple and just had a few. The bowls I already had and are from Anthropologie, and the spoons go with my silverware set from pottery barn, that I love and we copied from some friends of ours who have great taste!
Bad lighting and wind= not the greatest picture! The banner was from Dimple Prints. I printed it out and assembled it using cardstock, ribbon and tuille.
A friend form High School Tawnie West made these cute candy bean bags for a bean bag toss! So cute! I don't think she has a shop, or I'd post it! I found the cute buckets at Target, my favorite place!
I so cheated and didn't hand make any desserts! I got these mini cupcakes at the Wal Mart bakery, it worked out great because they were chocolate, butter cream frosting, and matched the color scheme! I made the toppers using the labels from Ciao Bambino.
Again I didn't make these cookies either! I did however semi make this cute KEEP CALM AND EAT A CUPCAKE picture....thanks to a website I found where you can generate your own little signs like this. Sadly I can't find the name of that site! I'll let ya know when I do!
Here's more of a close up of the treats. Most of the jars are just from the dollar store!
I found these cute ice cream bubbles by Spritz at target in the party section and thought they were a must for the party! And they worked out great on my cupcake stand, which I got years ago at Williams Sonoma!
Here's a view of the back yard...again it was windy so stuff was blowing every which way! Every time I throw a party it's windy! What the Heck?!
I had this "Welcome to Hannity's Sweet Shoppe Sign" outside of the front door for all to see when they arrived. The metal sign was on clearance at Krumpets (a cute little store in St. George) for $10. Sold!
I made up some Happy Birthday signs to pull out for last minute birthday decorating. Here is one of them!
And here is the other!
Here's the bucket filled with ice cream cups! I made the chalkboard label using chalkboard vinyl and my cricut. If you want vinyl to cut your own, or want some already made let me know!
Ice Cream table close up!
Landon trying to steal Hannity's cake...which I didn't make...it was just from Smith's bakery...it was only $1.99 and it matched perfectly and saved me lots of time!
Here she is enjoying her cake! Mmmm!
She got a little messy! Her poor face did break out in a rash though from the dye =(
Here is a family shot. I look gross, Hannity is checking out Landon, Landon is blowing bubbles not paying attention...my husband looks good!
Here is Landon with one of his girlfriends sharing a cookie....so sweet!
There are the party details and some info on our sweet little girl! If you would like to order vinyl or even borrow any of the party stuff let me know! I kept most of it in a nice little storage box labeled "Party Stuff."
