H54F July 12
Well, it's definitely NOT Friday here, but I will post our collage of our week's shenanigans any way!
Here goes....
Finished and sent out most of the invites for Emilie's 1st birthday party. More on that in another post!
I had to include the over-photographed runner's view of feet, I couldn't resist. Annnnd, if you look closely, you can see my freaky ankles, which have been sprained so many times that they cave in; I'm not very good about working to strengthen them.
I made a delicious concoction for sweet potato seasoning and before I shook it I thought it made beautiful layers.
Emilie and I have been trying to hit up a few parks we've never visited before. These were bells you could ring with the top lever. She made a friend at the park too! A very friendly little six year old girl who was just enthralled with Emilie because, "She's the same size as an American girl doll!" :)
Lastly, Emilie and I couldn't resist this cute crab with sunglasses for 70% off at Joann's. It'll be a perfect little decoration for her party in August!

Emilie's 1st Birthday Invitations
So, the theme for the party is "Under the Sea". It's been a great theme for a summer birthday as there are so many options, and I'm finding a lot of summer things starting to go on sale.
I DIY'ed Emilie's invites, although I can honestly say I will probably not do that again. My biggest struggle was getting the text or image (I tried a lot of different styles) to not be so pixalated. While I can navigate a computer, I am not super literate on graphic design business, thus the frustration. Even with the final product, the text is still a little pixalated. I did have a lot of fun adding some sea shells with twine to the invites though!
I bought some colorful invitation envelopes at Staples and added some puffy fish stickers.
The invites were made with PicMonkey', and some great inspiration from Toronto Mama!

The finished product.
Sea shells from Florida, twine, printed invites, scissors, and thread.
