Friday Fun Random Facts

1. In 2 days my baby is going to be 13 months old.

 2. Sweetest girl in the World.

3. Walking.

4. I now have a few more bows on my Etsy shop, go check em out! You can find them here.

5. The weather here has been nothing short of amazing. So we have been soaking up the sun every chance we get! Here's my Diva lovin' the outdoors! 

 Thank You Lord for such amazing weather!

6. For my devotions I have been reading in Hebrews, and I find it so amazing that my Lord came to Earth as a human.. He endured all the temptations that we do. He then died on the cross for me. He is Almighty and All Powerful, but yet he chose to endure all that suffering, and all those hardships so that I can have everlasting life. What a gift. I accept that gift of Salvation, and I feel so unworthy. 

Well, the Weekend is upon us and I am so ready!

Friday Fun Random Facts

1. Savannah was totally, way to, crazy, adorably cute yesterday! She wanted to be a baby too!

2. I recently bought her a pair of Jeggings at Target, and I am IN LOVE! They are the cutest little things ever! Here are a few pics of how cute they are, but really in my opinion, Savannah is what makes them so darn cute! 

3. Savannah was helping me clean a few windows yesterday! She is my little helper with everything I do. We had a beautiful day yesterday (but really windy) so I thought I would clean a few windows! I got two rooms done, and did my weekly cleaning to those rooms as well. I always feel so good after getting any type of cleaning done, especially with the help of a 1 year old! :)

4. In the picture above you can see that Savannah is trying her hardest to walk on her own! She does really well if she takes it slow, but she usually takes one step and then tries to run, which ends in failure...for now. Practice makes perfect! 

5. Me and my treadmill need to start growing a long lasting friendship...soon.

6. The toy Savannah is standing on is good for one thing....getting her onto the couch! 

7. Savannah walking to her Auntie last night!! YAY!!! And her cousins were cheering her on each step of the way! Melt my heart!!

8. Sweetest sight ever...Daddy playing with his little girl! I think they were playing with the candy for about 30 minutes! Yes, the candy is just for playing around our house, we never eat any! Wink...Wink. Don't Judge! :)  Her shirt says it best..."I Love My Daddy" and she sure does!! 

Happy Friday Friends!!

Re-Using Tissue Paper

I have been re-using tissue paper for a few years now, and I am hooked! I never have to worry about running out of tissue paper, and I use tons of tissue paper for gift bags so this way I don't need to feel like I'm wasting money by doing so!

Here's how easy it is!!!

I had two bags full of tissue paper after Savannah's Birthday party. 

Here you can see the ones that I have done, and they look brand new!!

All you do is set your iron to the setting right before the steam setting. I always test out a small area before starting, just to make sure its not to hot. Then just iron out each piece till it gets as smooth as you like, then fold anyway you want! 

The ironing always takes some time, but remember to ALWAYS iron in front of the TV while watching your favorite show! Time seems to fly right by! :)

That's all there is to it! Pretty simple if you ask me, and I love going to my stash of tissue paper and always having any color I need! The picture below is of all the tissue paper I got from Savannah's Party.

Is there something that you re-use that helps you save money? I am always looking for money saving tips!

Fun Friday Random Facts...1st Birthday Special

1. I had a ton of fun planning and making Savannah's 1st Birthday Party happen, BUT I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off of me since the Party is over!! WOW! This week I felt like I had nothing to do! I was able to get all my to do list done for each day! I am lovin' it!

You can go Here if you missed her Birthday Party!

2. My favorite part of the Party planning was the TUTU! I made the TUTU for Savannah and it was a blast! If anyone would like to purchase a TUTU exactly like hers, or you can choose your own colors and length, head on over to my Etsy Shop!! You can find my Shop here. 

 3. Another favorite thing of mine from Savannah's party was that we took a picture of each family holding Savannah. I will then use that photo for their Thank You Card! Savannah went to everyone without even thinking twice! I was so happy she didn't cry at all! Below are two samples, the first photo is of Kevin's brother and his new wife...

 ...and this one is of my lovely sister. She was a huge help to me on Party day! She came to the house to stay with Savannah during her nap, while hubby and I finished setting up. She also helped with taking photos and finishing the balloons!

 My Beautiful Momma!! I thought this picture was to great not to share!

4. Earlier in the week we threw a Pampered Bride Shower for my soon to be sister-in-law! We had so much fun, and we cannot wait for there Wedding later this month!!

Happy Friday Everyone!! Its a Beautiful Day today...come on Spring!!

Savannah's 1st Birthday Bash

Saturday February 25th, 2012

1pm

Ball pint jars decorated with tulle, and straws I ordered off of Etsy.

Cups and bowls for the kids!

We had about 70 people at the party, and we served cake, ice cream, chips, pink lemonade, water and coffee!

I found these cute heart bowls at Target for $2.50 each!! I was so excited about them!

Photo Video playing by the gift table.

 "Who Looks More Like Savannah?" 

I won that game!! Woohoo! 

I strung all of Savannah's monthly pictures on ribbon and hung them here.

We also played a guessing game..."Guess how many photos we took of Savannah in her 1st year?"

Answer: 2,815

The winner won the pint jar filled with candy, I made a cute little label that said "Thank you for coming to Savannah's 1st Birthday Party"

I just used material to go over the top instead of a real lid.

Hubby's Grandma made the birthday cake's! I added the feathers and a few decorations on top! There was about half of the bottom layer remaining at the end of the party, so it was just about the perfect amount! I sure didn't complain about taking the leftover's home! :)

Love all the bright colors!

Savannah's Tutu was made by me, and I had my Mom sew the "1" on her shirt. I used a "1" stencil that I printed off of the computer, and cut it out of material that I had leftover from her nightstand in her room. I was so happy with the way it turned out. She looked like a little Birthday Beauty!!

Savannah was in awe that she was allowed to touch that pretty cake!!

Cutest picture ever!!

Gift time!

Savannah is beyond blessed! She got so much great stuff!

Hubby's Parents got her this adorable horse!

My Parents/brothers/sisters got her this cute chair!

Smash cake time!! OH YEAH BABY!!

 She loves cake, can you tell! 

Savannah's 1st Birthday party turned out so wonderful, not because of all the "things" but because of all the special people who came to celebrate with us!

If you have any questions about her party/party items let me know in the comments section then I will answer the questions tomorrow in "Friday Fun Random Facts...1st Birthday Special"
