Do you guys like my new header?

I’m still a birthday factory over here. I thought I’d save money by designing and printing my own invitations last week. I spent $40 on Avery blank postcards…the kind that are perforated and you use their template. Anyways, the point is, I couldn’t get anything to work on the template, and I had to get help anyways. Lesson learned.

Luckily, I found Kim from Silly Me Baby & Design. She fixed me right up! Then I asked her about designing me a simple header. I love it! (I’m not going to tell you what I paid, because I think she gave me such a super good deal because she felt sorry for me since I’m so dumb clueless.

Edson build a PVC pipe backdrop for Bella’s party. It also doubles as a photo backdrop for my blog photos! It cost him $40 to make, and he literally put it together in 5 minutes. I’ll show you in a future post!

I’ve been working on tissue paper poms and flowers.

Here is our snowflake wall decor made from paper plates and coffee filter snowflakes.

I did a few paper fans too.

I’m excited for our party. I invited Bella’s class, so I’m pretty sure either nobody will come, or the entire school district will show up with their extended families.

Here’s another garland:

I got Krystal’s dress hemmed. I had to dust off my blind hem foot. I don’t use enough blind hems.
I hand stitched a patch onto a pair of jeans. I’m having sewing withdrawals…bad ones. I’m hoping my machines won’t be mad at me for abandoning them the last 2 weeks.
