She's a Hoot!

       My youngest, Savannah had her birthday party last Sunday. I can't believe my baby is 3 already! :-( Where did the time go??? It seems like just yesterday I just had her. I couldn't stop gushing over how little she used to be and the changes in her growth but if you look at some of her baby pics and her pics now. You can see the similiarities in her face expressions. :-)

      I created this poster collage of her baby pictures to present time. I had planned on embellishing it heavily but I printed out so many pictures and loved them all. I couldn't decide which to choose. Every single one was my favorite. So I just filled the posterboard up. LOL



        For her party, I decided to go with a Bright Colored Owl Theme.... My husband made her owl invites and I just went to town with the matching cake, favors, gifts, and even her custom outfit. I am posting her Birthday dress. This style I have decided to call it Savannah Party Dress... So here is a photo of the "She's a Hoot" Savannah Party Dress... it sells for $80. It has tons and tons of ruffles perfect for twirling. I used non-fray soft knit chiffon which is very light and airy but very soft and bouncy creating that pettiskirt look and feel. If you are interested in having this design recreated for your princess's birthday in different fabrics. Contact me and we can discuss ideas to fit your little girl's personality or birthday/event theme...

        Made her matching bows to match the dress. I didn't have a lot of time to make something extravagant but I think these were just as adorable......



          Now for those owl lovers who plan to have an Owl theme Birthday, here are some pics of what we did for the party. My house is too small for guests in the winter, so we had her party at a clubhouse. I paid someone else to make the cake and had the colors to match. I had planned on trying to make it myself but there was no time for me to tinker around in the kitchen the night before the party, since the last 2 years, I made her cakes and Fondant Icing is very hard to work with. The cake guy actually used gum paste to create the owls so I think I will have to play with those next time as I have never used gum paste before...

       I made Chocolate and Vanilla Flavored Owl Pops for the guests and we had special Owl Gift bags for each child guest that came. The boys got robot bags since I didn't think they would like the owls too much. It was filled with Owl stuffed animals, owl finger puppet, a handmade owl bookmark I made the night before the party, owl chocolate pops, pencil and candy.

       I got her Pinata from Celebrate Express and put together an Owl Gift basket filled with owl goodies. I am adding a photo of her new Owl nightlight which I absolutely love. I ordered this from Amber, check her out on facebook, StarlightsByAmber. You can also find her on etsy.  She is really awesome and just very nice and easy to work with. Let her know I sent you!!!



       So that's pretty much it! If you want to check out the rest of the pictures, you can find it on my facebook page under the Savannah's Owl Birthday Party Album.... As always, I love comments so leave me some if you have a minute! Thanks for looking! <3 ~ Wild Pixie
