Getting ready for the big ONE.

This BIG guy is turning ONE.

So his momma and I got together to create some party decor FUN.


First project of the day, was a 1 shirt for him to wear on his BIG day.
He's going to look SO cute!

Next up, was a circle garland banner.
Levi LOVES balls, so we went with anything circular, spotted or round.

Next, pinwheels... just because they are so darn cute.


Our original decor idea and inspiration was a circus theme, so we covered these cans in tickets. They will be used to hold treats or whatever Candice chooses.

Quite a productive day, don't cha think?!
Notice the little pinwheel for Levi's cake and the cute cupcake toppers Candice made too.

Can't wait to see how it all comes together.
This is going to be FUN!!!

Decor & Food

Here's all the "fancy" stuff we did to get ready for Abree's Fancy Nancy party...

Fancy flowers

These were so cute and so fun to decorate with. They are made by accordion folding tissue paper, securing with a wire and then a lot of careful fluffing.

The fancy table settings
The fancy front door
"Bonjour", because Fancy Nancy loves French (everything sounds fancy in French).

Fancy necklaces, boas, bracelets and hats strung about.

The fancy books that inspired the whole theme.

The fancy hat cake

(I'm not super proud of my cake, but with all the other fancy stuff around it, it looks ok.)

The fancy accessories that each guest was given to wear.

The fancy favor bag

"Merci!"

An eraser cell phone, candy ring, a princess Lip Smackers, stickers, necklace, candy bracelet (not shown) and bubble ring.

Abree's "Fancy Nancy" party dress and tiara. (Just like the one she wore in the book.) :)

Non-fancy glasses that the girls made fancy by decorating with sparkly stickers.

A Fancy Nancy picture the girls colored and decorated.

The fancy food

Finger sandwiches (with Fancy toothpicks), grapes, strawberry parfaits and pink lemonade.

We're ready.

Let's Par-tay!!!
