Megan – Way. too. fast! I’d be so happy if you used the flag idea. That really added a cute personal touch. The boys loved seeing their faces on the cupcakes.

The photo sticker flags are a wonderful idea! I might be borrowing that idea in the near future when my little girl turns one, she is just about the same age as your little girl, she’ll be one 9.22.11. So hard to believe how fast she is growing. Enjoy the birthday parties!!! You have great ideas!!

Oh happy birthday to Baron & enjoy that Lego pirate party! My boys are 17 & 21 now and the oldest one just moved out on his own last month. A bittersweet milestone but now I enjoy those Sunday family dinners when he comes back even more. And the boys have been known to go on a lego building spree even at this age. I do miss those “kidlet snuggles” but there is something wonderful to experience at all of the different ages and stages. The trick is being present to notice. You understand that. Have a wonderful celebration!

First, can I come to the party? Second, you are putting all of us “regular” moms to shame. Third, I need to squeeze that baby.

Rebecca – I can’t seem to find a clear tutorial. I may have to do one myself. 🙂 Real quickly, I started with a sturdy cardboard base that I found at a local party and costume store. Then I cut hundreds of tissue paper squares – they don’t have to be exactly. Roughly 1-2 inches depending on how fluffy you want it. I used a technique similar to this http://notwithoutsalt.com/2010/03/14/always-in-bloom/ (except with squares, although you could do circles. I had a shallow bowl filled with elmer’s glue. I dabbed the bottom of the “blossom” into the glue then, with the pencil eraser still holding the tissue paper, I attached it to the cardboard. Continue that process placing the next one right next to the first. Squish them together so that no cardboard shows.
I hope that helps. I’m happy to answer any questions you have. If I come across a link I’ll email you.
Thanks for the comment!

Those tissue paper numbers are so cute! I would love to use them for my wedding with our initials. Could you post a link for a tutorial on how to make them?
