I came across this lovely little blog called The Paper Mama this week. I’ve been on the hunt for sites that host photo contests. These contests have been so inspiring to me. I’ve gotten some great shots that I probably wouldn’t have otherwise taken. So the theme for the contest is absolute favorite and I LOVE this picture! I know I’ve posted it on my blog before but I had to share it again! If you love it

My entry for this weeks purple challenge for I Heart Faces.

Welcome to the carnival!
Friday, July 16th, 2010We threw a carnival themed birthday party for your two year old over 4th of July weekend. I was so excited how well everything came together. I wish that I was better at planning ahead though. Most of the decorations were made the morning of the party. I was actually still sewing together the crape paper 5 minutes before we walked out the door. And to give myself a little credit I did start everything the week before. But I got stumped on what I wanted to make and my best ideals just seem to always come at the last minute. So I guess no matter how far ahead of time I start I’ll still be working up to the deadline!
I just love how the main table turned out!
I made all of the birthday hats from scrapbook paper.
I loved his little birthday hat!

I put white and yellow mini marshmallows on top of the cupcakes to look like popcorn.
Some of the little carnival accents are from the scrapbooking section at JoAnn’s.

I found the vintage looking clowns and balloons on Etsy.
The kids loved helping themselves to all of the candy!
Congrats!
