life: 1st birthday theme

sometimes stepping back & focusing is a good thing... right?

or maybe i should say..... obsessing instead?

ya. i'm obsessing...

i mean.. you only get ONE first birthday right?

& it's coming quicker than i'd like to admit!

i was fairly sure i was going to have a knights & dragon's party for the babe..

my aunt set me on that path because she calls the babe 'sir rancelot'.

cute, right?

but tough. so tough.

i mean. everything just seemed too grown up.

i couldn't get a handle on the vibe.

...and ya.. i realize that probably sounds silly..

but what i mean is that stuff wasn't jiving for me..

food, decorations, colors, games, favors... all that stuff.

and i thought it was just because i was coming off of a post-birthday high with the lego birthday..

but when it didn't subside i knew i was in trouble..

and that's where the birthday express catalog stepped in.

up until mason's lego birthday, i was all about avoiding the themed birthdays..

i like the non-character, build from scratch birthdays..

but truth is.. sometimes those are hard.

original. fun. but hard.

so, as i flipped through the catalog, just because.....

ya know, i can't toss it out without looking at it first..

i found like 4 different themes i liked.

a lil' rebel one with argyle & skulls.. blues & blacks..

a dinosaur one..

an owl one... which i had already contemplated before...

and then the one that, after a little digging online..

i decided i just couldn't NOT do...

just a little something i whipped up...

any guesses as to what it might be?

i'm SO excited!! :)

xo-k

ps. back tomorrow with some crafty posts... i think the dry spell has left me..

wellllllll.. maybe it's just that i ran out of smut to read... ya. i'm thinking that's it. :)
