I haven't posted in a few days because I've been a decorating machine and running all over town trying to make sure we'll be all set for BB's party on Saturday. I took some tips from my guru, Martha, and made this heart garland. It's all tangled up here in this picture (I kind of like it that way) but it will be uniform when hung up.
I also spent some (or way too much) time making a little "Happy Birthday" heart banner, made of pink and red card stock, red glitter glue for the letters, and cream-colored yarn. (The third picture has some good sunlight, but I took the other two in the evening so they're not so clear.)
My crafty aunt up in Montreal sent a lovely package for BB's birthday. This cute little handmade tag was one of the things included inside. I think I'm going to attach it to the front of this scrapbook I got for the party. Dave and I are going to have everyone sign it and include each person's picture (from the day of) with each message. It will be a great thing for BB to have when she's a little older.
So all that's really left to worry about are the balloons and cake, and those will be easily taken care of (although I'm not sure who's going to blow up all the balloons...). We've got 50 confirmed guests so far and about 15 who are still unsure. Dave and I literally had to call everyone we invited because ONLY ONE person RSVP'ed by telephone (immediate family does not count). Thank you, Aunt Tami for responding in a timely fashion. Is everyone trying to make my hair fall out?!Aside from all the party plans, Dave started his new job at a financial company downtown yesterday! I was so proud when he told me he got the job. BB's actual birthday is tomorrow, so I might have to plan a little something for dinner. I can't believe it's been a whole year already...
How can you resist that face?
