What a cute party! There were so many colorful themes to look at. I loved the goldfish favors, candy station and the octodogs. Oh to be a kid again.

Every thing looks terrific! Planning GG's first birthday was truly a labor of love...who knew a party for a one year old could be so consuming?! I'm sure everyone and your lil' man had a blast! The octodogs were a hoot! Good thinking!

Amazing job. I can't believe you found time to do all that. It turned out great.

Suz September 8, 2010 at 11:38 PM  

umm, amazing!!! Love all the details & the hot dogs are awesome!!!

Meant to be a mom September 9, 2010 at 6:38 PM  

Wow what an amazing party. You did a fabulous job. Every detail is awesome.

I tried to make a party hat the other night and it turned out ok. But you should see the shirt with the number one I tried to make to match it. NOT GOOD. I will be working on that for the next week in hopes that I can get it looking better before my sons party.
It looks like you handled everything great. I bet Kyah will love looking back at his perfect 1st bday party :)

Yvonne September 15, 2010 at 9:34 PM  

Mama Dub, you are doing such a great job. My Buddies and I have some wonderful ideas and things going on, we need to take picture like you do. Excellent job on Kyah's bday. Did he really really enjoy i?, My daughter's 1st is in Jan and I am unsure about whether it's worth doing it big.

Michael September 17, 2010 at 6:22 PM  

AMAZING! I love that you did everything yourself, it was adorable. I love a good party, and this one looked like a blast. I'm sure your little guy loved it!

If you don't mind me asking, what was your party budget?

Laura July 11, 2011 at 12:31 PM  

What is the recipe for the beach cupcakes? I have been searching for a cake to make for my son's "sandbox" party that has a topping resembling sand on top! I would love to know...they look great! :)

I have probably spent an hour looking at all of your craftiness. I somehow happened on your site, and I'm not sure how, but I'm glad I did. You are a girl after my own heart. I just thought I had all of the crafty ideas, but I am truly jealous. You are so creative, I am envious, and everything is awesome!!!!!!!
