belated birthday pics

Stella is officially one.

Well to be honest, she was "officially" one the 7th of November and yes, I'm just now posting. BUT, her party was on the 19th, so technically I'm not too late to share.

Got the deer idea from Apartment Therapy. I so LOVE these. They're stayin' up for Christmas... hmmm.... well actually indefinitely.

Made the garland and had it strung all over the place.

The animal jars are from Ohdeedoh, the mushrooms are from Martha Stewart, and the lovely owl is from my work.

Notice her dress? Yup... another Charlie tunic. What can I say? I LOVE this pattern!

It was a wonderful celebration with family and closest friends. I apologize for the lack of photos and the quality isn't much to boast about as well (this is what happens when the photographer wasn't doing her job). And thank you all you crafty blogs out there and Pinterest for the cool ideas. The party was a hit!

Oh my sweet Stella... how my heart aches as each passing day, you grow older. I wish I could make time stand still and just be in the moment a little while longer with you.

Happy 1st Birthday, Lala-Bear.

Happy Birthday Stella. She's too cute. Great job on the decorations. I feel the same whenever Iam holding my 6mth old. He is our last baby and it's good and sad whenever he reaches milestones.
