Individual Cupcake Stands - Tutorial and Free Download

Looking for a new way to jazz up your dessert table? Having a small party and don't need a big cupcake stand? These individual cupcake stands are the answer! Not only are they adorable, but you can make them yourself! Not the DIY type? No worries, you can also buy them from Hello Hanna. That's what I did. They should be arriving any day.

I found a great tutorial on how to make the stands on Sweetly Sweet.  Click here to see the tutorial on how to make the cupcake stands.

Here's an image from The Tom Kat Studio where you can see how the stands were incorporated into a dessert table. I plan on using mine for my daughter's 1st Birthday Party.

Bird Themed First Birthday Party Sneak Peaks!

Well, my sweet baby girl is 9 months old already and I have started to plan her 1st birthday party. Originally it was going to be a fairly large party and I picked Candy "One"derland as my theme, but my husband and I decided to make it a smaller party at our home so I changed themes so I could use Candyland theme another time.

I discovered the cutest modern bird theme from Anders Ruff. .The saying on the invite is what really got me.  As soon as I saw it, I knew I found my new theme.

My, Oh My, How the First Year Flew By!  And isn't it true?   I've already started collecting items that go with the theme and have some fun ideas.

If you have any great ideas for the party, let me know! It's not until May 1.  I'd love to hear your ideas. 

I hope you enjoyed this little sneak peak!
