First Birthday

DIY Glam Pinatas


Friend and Blog Guest Jenna Holtschulte whipped up these cute pinatas for her sweet baby Micah's first birthday. Super easy to make but the her only requirement: Just make sure you have a little extra time on your hands the day you take on the task. Jenna made this from 100% scratch! However, if you are short for time then you could go to Jo-Ann Fabrics and stock up on the premade paper kraft letters for about $2-$3 each.

The Letters:
Scrap Cardboard Boxes
Pencil
Exacto Knife
Brown Packing Tape

The Fringe:
Glue
Scissors
Tissue Paper
Tacky Glue Pens


This pinata is perfect to hang over the dining room table

The Finishing Touches:  Micah' Gold Bow, Micah is One Cake Topper, The Pom Garland













Smash Cake



My friend and former Drill Team co-member made a beautiful smash cake that I want to share with you.  What is a Smash Cake, you ask?  It is a 1st birthday cake that a one-year-old baby will truly get to enjoy.  How do they enjoy it?  They SMASH it!!

What a faboulous idea.  It can even be a smaller version of the cake that you serve at the birthday party.  Your choice.

Kristi you did a great job making this gorgeous cake!!
