Kylie's First Birthday Party

My daughter, Kylie, turned one on October 12th. Being that pink and green are my favorite colors...we used them as well as a cupcake theme.

This is a wreath I made out of a grapevine wreath, mesh ribbon, and foam. JJ cut out the cupcake with a nifty foam cutter (who knew they had such a thing?). Although the foam is not going to hold up for a long period of time, it is very enexpensice. If you wanted something that would last for a while, I would recommend using plywood.

I made this cupcake stand out of boxes leftover from our office and wrapping paper, how easy is that?! I couldn't resist the polka-dotted cupcake wrappers. If you notice, Kylie's cake is at the top. It was made from a silicone cupcake mold. I used pink and green wrapping paper from the dollar store, yes the dollar store! I made the stand for right at $2.00! You can't beat that with a stick, and it makes a BIG statement!


Couldn't resist showing ya'll my daughter...needless to say, she enjoyed her cake!


Please come back and visit. Also, I am in the process of starting up a Facebook account and Etsy account. I am hoping I can find some time to make some things to sell!
