True Blue Birthday

My sister just had her Birthday on Friday and we had a small get together at our house. I decided I would put together a little decor with all my lovely paper products.

I got to work on a Birthday banner, cupcakes and toppers, a wintery branch centre piece and monogrammed treat bags for the guests to take home. I also put together a small bar area, I used my chalkboard frames to write the signature cocktail on, and I got these great rock candy stir sticks (from HomeSense) for the drinks. It was a great night, lots of fun, laughter and food! Happy Birthday to my wonderful sister Patti!!

Here are some of the highlights:

2 reasons why...

I've been MIA lately:

1. I just celebrated my birthday on June 27th and decided to go camping with my man for the weekend!

2. My backyard is going through a major renovation, I am in the process of completely tearing everything out, as the previous owner did no upkeep on the yard;there were weeds as tall as me!

I won't be done right away but I will post pictures along the way to show everyone my progress...
