Candy Buffet

Oh my I am getting too excited over this party thing. I got this idea after searching online for my centerpieces for my tables. I just thought it was so adorable and cheaper than making party bag favor for our guests. MMMM! Well we will see how this works out at the end.

Centerpieces

I am thinking of making silk flower pots as for our tables so cute!

Party Time

It's so hard to believe that 1 year ago I was still pregnant and ready to pop. Now I am planning my baby's 1st birthday party!Since Olivia was about six months old I got really excited and started planning her first birthday! Though I did not do much I did come up with the party theme. Now I do not like characters themed parties like Winnie the Pooh or Dora the Explorer. Yuck! So I wanted it to be more modern and cool and I came up with this. From here and here.Polka dots and flowers! What girl does not love some dots and beautiful flowers. As much as as I wanted it to be all pink I decided to mix some other colors to go with that soft pink like green, purple, yellow, and orange.

The first part of planning a party is choosing date, time, location and invitations. It took most of our YoungLife assignment to figure what I wanted for and the end I came up with this.

This is a pop up card using all Stampin' Up Stamps. This very cute idea I got from one of my favorites blog from another demonstrator in another state. Her blog is on my fave sites list on the top right corner of my blog or you can click here to check it out. I wanted to do something different and pretty using one of my favorite SU Stamps called Fifth Avenue Floral. It's so chick, hip and cool all the qualities I look for. Although It took me a while I had so many people help me thanks Jay, Javi, Laura, Maggie and Adrianne. Now I can relax as they are on their way to to the hands of our guest! Yay!

Now the fun part really begins shopping for party decorations, centerpieces, pinatas and all that fun stuff. I will post more on our party planning status.

This is the dress daddy picked out for the birthday girl to wear for the party!

YoungLife Camp

Well most of this month we spent it here at this awesome YoungLife Camp for our assignment as part of our job. Chris gets to do program(all the funny characters that are in charge of all the fun activities at camp) and my job is to be a spouse(kick back and enjoy camp) It has been awesome seeing kids being loved by their leaders and the other staff here at the camp and how many people volunteer to serve and be Jesus to them. My biggest moment was to see the Capernaum kids(kids with disabilities) up here. Many of them are just out casted by society and many of them just ignored. First week of camp was just for them. You know they need Jesus too! It was awesome to see them enjoy life and camp just like any other typical kid. I cried tears of joy when I saw a kid in a wheel chair go down the slide as the whole camp cheered for him. Oh man if you just saw his face it was wonderful. I love them! Second it was all Wyldlife(junior high kids)camp but we were sick so we did not enjoy camp as I would have loved but I know it was a great week. I just love how much energy they have when they sing songs and do all the activities. Tomorrow we start our last week up here and we will have more Wyldlifers here. Yey. So excited!
