The Louax.

About 11 months ago, Lou exclaimed that she wanted a Lorax party for her fifth birthday. At the time, she had just turned four, so I thought for sure she’d change her mind. She didn’t. So to celebrate our baby girl’s five amazing years on this planet, we had the Louax party. It was the most perfect day.

Once again, Ryann Colleen Photography took the most amazing pictures. We are so grateful to have them to always remember this special day.

Paperless Post + Kate Spade.

For those of you that are late to the party, Paperless Post is not-so-paperless anymore. But that’s old news. What’s new is their addition of Kate Spade papers to their line. They are looking goo-ood.

Check out the entire line here.

Some Birthday Treats.

Here’s the “How To” on the tags that we made for E’s school party. You could use them for all kinds of Halloween goodies. E’s school is “treat-free,” which makes it difficult when it comes to birthdays…. but we were up for the challenge.I found some great Halloween paintable sun catchers in the dollar aisle at Michael’s.

We made these Candy Corn tags in MS Word (you can fit 4 on one page.)

and cut them into candy corn shapes.

The birthday girl went to work with my trusty tape gun.

And Bam! $25 for 25 “treats.”

Inslee.

During another Pinterest marathon, I came across Inslee, a company started by artist Inslee Haynes. Not only does she sell beautiful personalized stationery in her shop, she also takes on commissioned projects- I love some of the bridal portraits that she has done. Seriously, this girl is uber-talented. Here are some of my favorites.

Lou’s 4th Birthday.

This year, Lou wanted a Strawberry Shortcake theme.. So I went with it. I tried to incorporate as many tasteful strawberries as possible, but the overall theme tying everything together was pink. Perfect for a party full of four-year-old girls. We had such a fun time!
