For all you sentimental mommies, I think it helps to look at these photos with "This Time of Year" by Better Than Ezra playing in the background...it's my fall jam!
All of these wonderful photos were taken by the amazing, Sarah Brewer of Click Photo Designs. I love working with her on special events. She's fabulous at capturing all of the special little moments, so I highly recommend her for your children's birthday parties and especially family photos. If you book a session with her in 2012, you'll get exclusive access to Christmas Cards designed by Belly Feathers. A special perk just for Click Photo Designs customers.
I love how this pencil vase turned out. It's just a mason jar surrounded by pencils held on with an elastic band, which is nicely hidden by the green polka dot ribbon. Super easy and super cute! This mini chalkboard was quite a find in Target's Dollar Spot section for only $2.50. I think I'll have a lot of fun with this around our house, too.
One of the best parts of school is snack time. We had little cartons of pretend apple juice and butter cookies with the little holes in the center strung together with red and white baker's twine.
The super adorable outfits the kids are wearing were all provided by Bonnie Blue Boutique. Isn't the headband above just gorgeous?! This whole outfit is by Persnickety, and Bonnie Blue Boutique just happens to be the largest retailer of this clothing line in Alabama. I can see why! Owner Jennifer is fabulous at helping you pick out a great outfit, and I particularly love Persnickety because all of the pieces are mix and match, so you can create a really versatile wardrobe out of just a few pieces.
All of the decor for the party was simple and sweet. I based everything off a cute apple rubber stamp and fresh green and red apples. I had my heart set on a chalkboard for the kids to play with, and when we couldn't find one, I made this one out of a thrift store mirror and chalkboard spray paint - a much easier project than I thought. I love using my cupcake stand in non-traditional ways, and the fresh apples couldn't have been cuter displayed on it.
Hope everyone has a great school year full of bright ideas, special memories, and of course, fun PARTIES!
