A really strong person to stretch open the balloon so you can cram all the "confetti" in

Mattress Air Pump or Helium Tank to fill your balloon

Curling Ribbon to attach just for the cuteness factor

Mustache Bash Little Man Themed Baby Shower

A few weekends ago a few friends and I put together a fun Mustache Bash Little Man Themed Baby Shower for our wonderful friend Susannah! {Who by the way has a wonderful lil craft blog & vinyl business right here!} 

I wanted to show you a few of the fun details so here they are... 

I love how the Little Man O'Brien print came out with the "eye glass" above the mustache...which Susannah tells me is actually called a "monocle"! {Susannah knew this word because she has some cute vinyl designs with mustaches and monocles in her shop...like this unexpected toilet decal mustache. Hehe! Love it!} 

I was curious so I just had to look it up by typing "single eye glass thingy proper name" in Google Search...Apparently it's a French word, from the Late Latin word monoculus, having one eye. 

We had a tasty pancake bar {pancakes unfortunately are missing from this pic} with bananas, berries, nuts, whipped cream, syrups and chocolate chips and the like. On another table we had orange juice, water and milk! Everything was super yummy!

& We enjoyed some elephant diaper cake to top it all off... 

K, no not really but isn't he cute?! Here is the  great no-roll diaper cake tutorial I used to make him! This quick and simple no-roll technique will save you tons of time compared to the traditional method of rolling each diaper and rubber banding each one. 

The party wasn't complete without mustaches on sticks for some fun pics! 

Thanks Susannah for letting us shower you! :) 

Seeing it all come together was a blast...I just love party planning.

Now all that is left is to meet Susannah's new little man!!!! Can't wait!

Baby Boy Nursery - Yarn Pom Pom Mobile

I was so excited about making this lil addition to Camden's nursery & I really love how it turned out! 

After searching through few tutorials on Pinterest I found all you need to make this yarn baby mobile is...

yarn {of course}

chopsticks {for the X}

scissors {to cut the yarn}

your fingers or a serving spoon/fork {to make the pom poms} 

dental floss/fishing wire & little plastic command hook {to hang.}

 I had everything on hand and only had to buy the yarn and bring home some chop sticks from a japanese restaurant! Hehe. 

All in all it was less than $5 to make this lil homemade mobile! Score! 

Camden likes looking up at it...but mostly from outside his crib while I am holding him up. He kinda hates being in his crib when he is awake & no cute yarn mobile is going to change that!  : )
