OK, so I know it's still a good 6 months away, but being the neurotic planner I sometimes (OK, alot of times) am, I have been fantasizing about how cool Holden's 1st birthday is going to be.
I have gone through tons of themes, asked opinions and fretted my little head about what theme I should use for Holden's birthday. I guess the sensible thing to do would be to wait and see if he's "into" any toys, characters, or colors specifically before I go all balls to the wall about it.

Buuuut I came across this theme that is just way too graphically endearing. It beckons me with it's sweetly simple design and playful pastels. Just my style. They are available to order, (or will be after February) online but what kind of graphic designer would I be if I didn't at least attempt to make the decor myself?
A little inspiration, some car stencils and an eye for color will make my version applicable to my baby boy's ONEderful birthday. (See what I did there?)
I'm thinking of changing up the color scheme. Like maybe adding orange instead of a green accent, or a combo of red and yellow.
So very excited!
Oh, and an awesome idea for all of your empty baby food jars: tie burlap on the lid with a colorful string and fill them with candy for party favors!
