It's my bub's first birthday in March and unlike most things in life, I have decided to start planning earlY! (well, relatively early for me!).

I've decided to really put in some effort with decorations and I know that she won't remember it, but it's her first birthday, so milestone worth celebrating.

Some friends have been giving me some great ideas as to favours, decorations and the like and I am really surprised at how excited I am in planning the day for her. I'm not a naturally creative or crafty person and usually don't have the patience, but I have spent HOURS on blogs looking at ideas, beautiful pictures and salivating over the gorgeousness of some of the little handmade items.

I've even taken the sewing machine that my mum has been keeping for me (in the hope that I will pick up the sewing bug) so I think I will be taking a crash course on basic sewing skills. Not sure where I will find the time, but I am excited about some of the ideas I have for her.

I would LOVE for people to send me either some pictures, links or ideas of things that they did for their kid's birthdays. I'm going to steer away from the commercial printed birthday props and instead try and make my own. Unfortunately, I think the food will come off second best as I'm really looking forward to spending some time planning this.

I'll post my thoughts in the next couple of days!
