We had a wonderful little birthday party for Baby J last weekend. We opted for a small gathering this time around, with my entire family from California in attendance to help us celebrate. As I mentioned before, when it comes to party planning, I tend to pick colors over traditional themes. I thought red, white and blue would be perfect for a summer party. [And yes, I have a little obsession with circles.] More photographs here.

They are all adorable. What a lot of thought and time and attention you must have put into the party.
Hope it was a hit!

Oh my goodness - everything looks wonderful!! You did a fantastic job pulling it all together, and I love using colors instead of a theme. So nice!

Adorable as usual. I'm seriously considering hiring you to design my birthday party.
Your printer must be great to get such lovely colours. I think I'll start looking for a new one. Mine's getting a bit old.
Thanks for sharing.

Wow! I love your eye for design and color. Doy ou print all of your own design elements or do you send your work to a printer to be printed? Amazing as always :)
