My Baby's Party Favors & Centerpiece...



The past week has been a busy one and although I would have like to been crafting other projects, I needed to finish prepping things for my baby's first birthday party that was held yesterday. One of the things that needed to be done was to finish the 200+ favors for the guests! Everyone kept saying that they "can't wait to see the favors." Hope they didn't get disappointed that these were pretty simple. Let me tell you, I was dreaming of Hello Kitty the night I finished them...LOL! Then of course my 6 year old daughter reminded me that she wants her birthday party (next month) to be Hello Kitty too! Don't get me wrong, I love Hello Kitty, but I think I need a break for a bit...hehehe! But I guess I need to suck it up and do what all moms do... give their kids what they want.



Here is a picture of one of the centerpieces for the party. Luckily I only needed to make 6 of these since the other centerpieces were Hello Kitty banks, lunch bags, and other HK stuff. For this project, I used my big shot to cut HK out from my decor elements vinyl. I stuck HK to each side of the jar (which I got from Wal-Mart) and filled it with some HK marshmallow candy.

Well, thanks for stopping by. Now that the party is over, I need to catch up with posting my Easter raks and our last mtg. swaps/project. Have a great week!
