~personalized cupcake toppers~

My little lady turned 1 a couple days ago.

I can't believe it. 

WOW....that year flew by!

For her birthday I decided to make cupcakes

for everyone instead of a cake.

I thought about buying some cute cupcake

toppers but got a great idea to make 

some with the pictures I've been taking of 

her at each month mark.

I loved the way they turned out

and everyone had fun looking at them.

 

 I know the pictures aren't the greatest but

I think you get the idea. 

To make them I printed up the pictures,

cut them out and then just used clear packing tape

to cover and attach them to the toothpick. 

For the rest of the toppers I tied ribbons around

the top of the toothpicks and called it good.

 

I learn so much with each party I have for the kids.

What I learned from this one:

cupcakes would have photographed better if

they were lined up on something flat instead.

Also-don't wait until the last minute to get things done.

Have it done before the actual birthday so I can 

enjoy the birthday with them :)

This week my mind is on one thing:

Pirate Party.

My little guy's birthday party is in one week

and I have A TON of stuff to do. I want to get it

finished within the next few days so I'm not scrambling

at the last minute and stressed out. 

I have found some super cute ideas.

I just got introduced to Pinterest.

HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS?

I love it!

Now if I could just figure out how to use it.
