No Sew Tree Skirt

 I was searching pinterest a while back and was so excited when I found a super cute no sew tree skirt!

Then while out with my mom she mentioned she wanted to get my sister one.

I told her I would make one 

half way through I regretting that. 

I wish I would have made it for MYSELF it is so incredible cute!

Here is what it looks like.

Didn't it turn out so cute???

I will be making myself one next year!

HERE is where I got the instructions!
Try is out, you'll love it!

Birthday Party Fun

I started planning Stella's birthday MONTHS ago.

I love doing fancy creative things for parties.

Sadly, I did not have the energy to do everything I wanted to do =(

But I was able to do a few of the things I wanted to.

First, I made a fun little banner:

I put balloons on a basket to make it look like a hot air balloon. I saw a picture of this forever ago and loved the idea. I think it turned out pretty cute. 

Too bad I didn't get a picture that actually turned out good!!! Boo!

I asked family to make different types of cookies and had a cookie bar! 

Finally, I made Stella's cake. It did not turn out exactly how I planned since I had never done it before but I'm happy with how it turned out.

We had so much fun celebrating her 2nd birthday with family and friends. She was spoiled rotten! I had a lot of fun planning and preparing to make the day special for her even if she didn't notice =)

Now I will start planning next year's party!!!

 Tomorrow I will be posting all the fun cute things we did for Stella's birthday.

I am way too exhausted to post it today.

I'm excited to share the crafty things I did for her birthday party.

Tune in tomorrow!
