Speaking of which, now that I have sent them out and this post won’t spoil it for my guests, here are the birthday party invites.

I loved the stamps my husband ordered. Medium size works great on 4″x5.5″ envelopes – image is 1.1″x1.4″.

This party planning time is SO exciting. You would think that being almost ONE, my son is now sleeping through the night – and that I have all the time in the world to be crafty and creative. WRONG! He is most definitely NOT, thus I am one tired (wait, scratch that and put exhausted) mama. But I am still excited to lose those few hours of sleep over orange and blue paper pom poms and other decorations I’m making. The other day I uploaded an iPhone picture on my FB profile (by the way, I love the Hipstamatic app), the picture of a sewing machine. Wow, who would ever thought I’d be going to Target to get a Singer?! This first birthday party planning is making me do crazy things. Yes, you can call me Martha.

Of course, I’ll be sharing all the details… in time… I don’t want to spoil anything for my guests.
