Sweet Shoppe {An Elementary Graduation Party}

My baby girl just finished Elementary School and we wanted to celebrate her with a party just as sweet as she is...We found the perfect design at Chickabug to get our party started and I created a Sweets Stand that actually surprised myself.  Goodies were placed throughout the house from a kids table for them to color in and enjoy sweets, to a table set up with her work from Kindergarten-5th grade and plenty of fun treats, to the kitchen...where lunch was served and cupcakes and cookies were the center of attention, to the the final and greater set up outside...the Sweets Stand.
  Enjoy!

I placed kraft paper on the kids table for them to color on.

I found a great idea on Better Homes and Gardens March 2011 to use rubber bands and tags to identify glasses, I loved it and everyone had fun with it!

I placed mason jars on the table filled with Lemonade Gum Balls, Cookies, Whoppers and Lemonheads

The beautiful fondant toppers on these cupcakes are from Sweet Petal Bakery and we had used them recently on our In Flight Dessert Table.

First Birthday Celebrations

I'm hearing about 1st Birthdays a lot lately...having a few friends and family members that are getting ready to celebrate their little one's 1st Birthday, I thought on having a special inspiration post (or two) on just the special 1!

This 'LittleMan' Theme also created by Kori at Paper and Pigtails 

was originally for a Baby Shower but I think is adorable for a boy's first birthday as well.
