Circus Theme B-day Party-Part 1!

My niece's birthday is coming up and of course the event planner in me couldn't wait to make a huge party about it. We browsed thru "Hostess with the Mostess",my favorite events website, for some inspiration and to choose the theme. My sister in law didn't want anything too girly so she ended up deciding on a circus theme.

I suggested something really modern and cool so I had my cousin, who is a graphic designer and an architect, design the invitation so we could plan our decorations around it. She came up with the cutest invitation.

DIY Valentine's Day Gift Ideas!!

Yes I know it's commercial and a reason to spend more money than you would but I like the idea of a day that celebrates love and friendship. And yes I know that day should be celebrated every day!! Anyways, for me Valentines is that one day I would rather have my hubby paint me a horrible mural on the wall with a huge messed up heart shape and the words "I LOVE YOU" that look like a 2 year old wrote them than have him get me a store bought gift. I mean, I won't reject a really cute bracelet but you get my point.So I've pinned some cute DIY ideas that I'm considering and wanted to share them with you. :). I'll give you an update on what I finally did.
