Kamin knew all along what she wanted for Hudson’s first birthday party and it turned out AMAZING. I can’t wait for her to share the pictures so that I can post them here for you. It was such a creative birthday party theme and every detail was beautifully done. She sent me invitation inspiration long ago and I’ve been working a cute paper suite for the party. I hope to have it listed in the Etsy shop soon as an invitation and as a printable party pack! I always feel like a cheater when I find great Illustrations from another designer, but sometimes they are so perfect that it’s silly to recreate something yourself. I found the animals at Collective Creation on Etsy and added the other elements myself.

She wanted a chalkboard to greet guests as they came into the party, so I borrowed this one from my mom and used the same graphics from the paper suite to decorate the chalkboard. I loved how it turned out!! I underestimated the size of this thing, though, and it was quite the feat to get it (and my two children) into the car to go to the party. I just knew they would grab it or brush up against it and my two hours of hard work would be gone!
Everything about the party was wonderful, but I think Sophie’s favorite part was playing in the backyard with her bubbles. She has been carrying those things around for DAYS.
