Birthday Bonanza!

No!  It is NOT Mr. Man's 1st Birthday yet, but it is quickly approaching.  If I could find some way to stop time, I would because it is truly flying past.  I feel like we just brought him home from the hospital last week.  Then, I look back and realize it has almost been 10 months.  One of the strangest phenomena of having a baby is that it doesn't really seem like he is growing that quickly or that he has changed that much in appearance because I see him all day, every day.  Then, I look at the pictures.

9.5 Months Old
 So instead of being sad about my little baby growing into a little boy, I am going to overcompensate by throwing a fabulous party!  I cannot wait to celebrate not only his birth, but also the 1st year of our little family.  (And that we made it.)

Bring on the insane party planning.  Enter Etsy!  And lucky for me, it is Windowshop Wednesday at The Katie Chronicles... and guess who we are stalking today.  If you didn't guess Etsy, then I cannot really help you.




I should state that I also cannot help you if you cannot guess the theme of this bonanza.

Perfectly Seussical Invite by peaceloveinvites - It even ties into the polka dot fabric I want to use for a photobooth station.  (Yes, a photobooth.  You can judge me now.  I really don't care.  I warned you that I was going over the top.)

Seuss Inspired Digital Paper by photodesignz - SOOOO much inspiration jammed into this one image that I can hardly contain myself
An Entire Party Package by photodesignz - should I not have the time to design all of the papergoods!
Party Labels by Cupcake Designs - I could use these on tents to label all of the food goodies

Party Hat by Dainty Couture - Would go great with the striped tie that I am trying to hunt down

Custom Tie by Sprinkles of Love - Maybe I'll scratch the striped tie in favor of even more fun!
Costume Hat and Tie by mojo3777creations - If I want to really go all out in embarrassing my child

I could keep going, but I'll spare you.  As it all comes together, I promise to share my progress.  Hopefully, that progress is better than our house progress.  Or my progress in getting my Monday surprise together.  One of these days...
