Turns out the uncrafty woman is actually just a teensy bit crafty after all!

This week I have been putting together birthday invites to send out for Melia's birthday. (Holy Moses my daughter is going to be 2 already!!) Now they are not to professional but I spent long agonizing hours cutting and gluing and stickering and be-dazzling (ok not really be-dazzling...is that even around anymore??) and I feel quite accomplished. I wasn't too sure of how the final product would look, I was kind of throwing whatever I thought was cute into my cart at Joann's.
I even went all out and spent a whole whopping $2.99 on a cute font! I know... so very professional of me! haha
I wanted the jungle animal theme this year because if you know Melia, then you know that she has a love for animals and can tell you EVERY sound an animal makes...with her favorites being an elephant, lion and of course monkeys.
But for some reason I always find myself having a difficult time planning events. I start out with a very detailed list but along the way everything that has to get done jumbles around in my head and I get stressed out and flustered, so then I put it all to the back of my head and I don't pull it out until the day before and then it is cram time. Maybe I perform better under pressure? I have no clue!
It's not a kids party this year, just family and close friends, since it is on a Sunday (Bryce couldn't get any Saturdays off!) it won't be too wild. But I will have to bring cupcakes or something to playgroup the week before so Melia can spend time with all her little buddies...meaning that I get to hang out with my girls too!

I enlarged it so you could read the catchy little jingle! =)

  2. Hi Allison! I'm so glad you found my blog! I'm just a beginner! Your little girl is absolutely adorable (what do you expect from two attractive parents?) So I was scrolling through your blog and saw that you watch Dexter! We LOVE Dexter (but we're closet watchers). How are you?
