Pinteresting Birthday

I've decided to do a new link up this Wednesday!

Link Up Here

I'll be honest. I wasn't a big fan of the Pinterest... but I decided to use it as a tool to help me 'pin' down my ideas for LB's 1st birthday party. It was really helpful!  I know in the past I said I was thinking about Owls and Birds... but I think I've decided to go elsewhere.. sort of.

I'm still keeping birds involved, because I call her 'Tweets'.. and I just am... 

But I have been in a Lemon mood lately.  Seriously! Anything that says 'lemon'? Gimme!

So... My new 'theme':

 Yellow Lemons... Blue Birds... and a Splash of Pink

Here are some inspirations:

And I'm thinking yellow tutu (and a party hat, of course!) for the cake photos?  Here's LB in the purple tutu I made for her "photo shoot":

What do you think?
Jerk Face thinks I'm being ridiculous... which could be true.
We're not that fancy.
And there will be a total of  about 16 people at my house that day...
..and none of them will really care about the decor...
Oh well. It's MY PARTY! ... ahem... uh.. er, LB's Party, and I'll do what I want!

Hoots and Tweets

With LB's 1st birthday a mere 3 months (and 12 days) away... CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?! I'm down to two themes.  The first one is:

OWLS

 :)  They're a hoot! (and I'm a dork)  *And my friend, Steph from  House for Two -I love her blog! You should check it out!!! /she finds the cutest things like the owl gear on the side of my post from Amazon! 

I think they are Super Cute!!!    
Thanks Steph!!!


And for my second theme:

BIRDS

I call LB 'Tweets' sometimes, so I thought it would be appropriate...  And before you say anything, I know... owls are birds...  so I MAY incorporate them together...?  Who knows? Not me.. yet :)
                       


I was also planning on making the cake with fondant frosting, but I don't think I will be doing that anymore either... I just can't see LB smashing the fondant cake and smearing it all over her face....    I came across the CUTEST owl fondant cake at Kara's Party Ideas   ... and I intended to do something similar, but I'm not so sure I can pull it off...


What do you think? Birds or Owls ... or both?
