My baby girl is 1 {sniff, sniff}. I can't believe how fast it went by! It honestly does seem like a short while ago I was rocking in her my arms to sleep at night and now she's almost walking. I have two beautiful children so I think I'm done that's why I'm savouring every moment with my baby but she's one now!! Whatever, she's still my little baby forever!
This is the decor in my foyer. A little french banner and tissue flower garland.
Turn your french riddling rack/drying rack {I know many one of you bloggy-ladies have one} into a display for your baby's photos!
I took photos of my baby girl every month in the same white chair. I printed those photos on my home printer on cardstock and hung them on the rack. I added her age on each photo {through PicMonkey}.
The chicken wire basket holds the favors for the little guests. {Click here to see more about the invitation and favors.}
And now on to the dessert table! I made these delish cupcakes and pink sprinkles cake. {For the cake and cupcake recipes, click here}
Here's my beautiful family...
My baby girl's sneaking some icing off the cake..thatta girl ;)
They went a little crazy unwrapping the gifts!
She's waiting patiently for her brother and daddy to put together one of her birthday gifts. Sooo precious.
She got tired of waiting. Now she's eating a pickle LOL
Happy first birthday, sweet baby girl! We love you. xoxoxo

Dear Jamie! I loved your Baby Girl's Birthday Party!
ReplyDeleteGREAT Idea with the photos!!! I loved the details!
I am looking at everything then I see the burlap tablecloth... wait a minute... I have seen this before!!!! I was the one that bought your stools!
I am so happy to see you are blogging again!
SInce then I changed my blog to www.restory.ca
I have been struggling with the change! Today I made a change form Blog reader to Bloglovin that one of my Blog friends recommended. So now I will read all the blogs I follow with Bloglovin. It is faster to make comments and keep connected! I just need to figure out how to add bloglovin icon to restory.ca... one thing at a time!
I am so happy I found you again!!!! Congratulations on your beautiful family and the wonderful party! Claudine

How wonderful to have the insight to take the photos the way you did! Can't wait to see what creative project you come up with next!

ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
DeleteJamie
So Delightful! Beautifully done! Love the photo display- but not sure what a riddling rack is- lol-and Happy Birthday to your little one!
ReplyDeleteLOl Thanks Christina! Actually, I think it's called a drying rack. A riddling rack is similar but made of wood. They used to hold wine bottles to dry but now are sold in stores as mug holders. Whatever it is, it comes in handy ;) Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteJamie
What a beautiful party. I love everything about it and how it was so tastefully done, so whimsical. You have a beautiful family and you can tell you put your heart into the party making it a special event for your little girl. That photo display is darling..what a great idea to do that photo in the same place each month. Just love it.
