Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.

For Grace's first birthday party we had a little gathering at our house. It was a twinkle, twinkle, little star theme.. and while Grace doesn't have many friends her age (here local at least!).. we invited some of the people that have been around her since she was a wee little one. More or less, it was a party for me. I enjoyed it.. while bittersweet, celebrating my baby with a party is something that will never get old.

Invitation.. that didn't actually get mailed out. Just some glitter chevron scrapbook paper, cardstock and double sided tape. I uses KG Miss Kindergarten and KG All the Stars fonts.

I decorated the house with black and gold. I found hanging gold star twists and a gold star centerpiece at our local dollar party store. I used black streamers around the table (which I somehow got no pictures of..). I brought out her photo books, that I'm 6 months behind on. We had guests sign a Dr. Seuss Happy Birthday book with a sharpie. I made the banner that hung above our TV using the same fonts from above, scrapbook paper and twine. On the back door I hung her birth to 11 month pictures, with the help of a certain one year old..

Grace's outfit - black onesie with a gold one added by a friend.

Black and gold polk-a-dot skirt found on clearance at Walmart.

Headband found on Etsy.

Grace's highchair was decorated with a pillowcase covering the normal print, and a ribbon and scrapbook paper skirt that was taped on using double sided tape. We had two helium star balloons hanging from the back. I made Grace's bib using a plain white bib from Hobby Lobby and an iron on G along with two iron on gold stars.

I made Grace's cake that she shared with her daddy using a box strawberry mix and cream cheese icing in a star cake pan (found on Amazon). Topped it with some gold food coloring spray.
