Everything's coming up Birthdays!

In 3 weeks Malachi turns one! I could wax poetic about time slipping away, and get sentimental about my little baby becoming a toddler, but that will have to be another post for another day. Instead, this milestone has turned the party-planning frenzy up a notch. As much as it pains me to say, being almost 9 months pregnant is not really conducive to my usual DIY ambitions, and I'm trying to be realistic about how much I can actually take on.

Luckily for me, I stumbled upon perhaps the most adorable paper-goods website I have ever seen. Gaddie and Tood offers one-of-a-kind, hand-crafted, glittery invitations, banners, flags, cards, gift tags and the like for every occasion in a child's life. Upon first glance, I mistakenly assumed that these exquisite paper-goods would be far beyond my budget, which I was willing to stretch for something as unique and beautiful as Gaddie and Tood offered.

Discovering that the prices were completely reasonable just put me right over the edge! I was beyond excited to find a whole treasure-trove of party accessories that perfectly complemented the theme I had in mind for Malachi's party at a price I can justify. I just placed my order, and Robin has been a dream to work with. I can hardly wait for the goodies to come in the mail.

Now, not to beat a dead horse, but those of you with daughters, consider yourself duly warned. There are so many charmingly sweet themes for girls that I wouldn't know where to begin, or perhaps where to stop. As it is, you can be sure Gaddie and Tood will be beloved in the Brown household for years to come.
