I decided to throw an Under the Sea themed party for my daughter Mackenzie's 2nd Birthday a few weeks ago. My mom bought the movie for her and she absolutely loved it! so much that she would ask for it to be played "one more" time. I wanted as much handcrafted items as possible. I enlisted the help from my beautiful sister Vanessa at Amaya Party Productions to help me bring my vision for this party to life. I can't thank her enough for putting so much of her time and energy into this party.

 We created a gift table with cable box candy take homes, crayon roll ups, bubbles and starfish hair clips.

 We had submarine sandwiches, shell pasta, starfish pb&j sandwiches and lots of sugary treats

 The backdrop was also handmade along with the cake & cupcakes by Olivia at Tip Toe Confections

 I really wanted there to be an Ariel at the party and i found the most perfect mermaid at Party Princess Productions. She was amazing! She sang to the kids, read a book, painted there faces and played with them in the bouncer.

 The seashell chair and backdrop was also done from Amaya Party Productions

 The craft table was perfect for the kids to paint treasure boxes and color photos of the Little Mermaid.

And a few more pictures of the Birthday girl and Ariel

 All photos were taken by my lovely friend Stephanie at Stephanie De La Riva Photography

My daughters second birthday is coming up and i'm starting on the planning and i realized that i never shared the details of her first birthday so i thought i would post a few photos from the day.
We decided on owl theme for her 1st birthday and i wanted as much handmade items as possible. My amazing family contributed so much of their time and i am so thankful to them because i would still be making  yarn pom pom garlands.
All the photos were taken by the lovely Stephanie De La Riva

My sister Vanessa hand created the invitations

 We took a photo every month and made a banner with a photo of each month.

little white cable boxes to take home treats

I made these cute little owl headbands for all the girls to take home

Our little princess

The photo pinwheel back drop was a great backdrop for all the photos

I ended up making this rather then ordering it. Sharpe paint markers and back cardboard is all you need.
