Karter's First Birthday Mustache Bash!

This weekend we had Karter's first birthday party,

I really can't believe that my sweet baby boy is one already, 

seems like just yesterday I was lying in the OR FaceTime-ing

with Lorne in Afghanistan while he was born.

Karter has been such a beautiful surprise for our family and

I can't imagine my life with out him in it.

Here's the invitation we used (I've blurred the address)

I love a good pun!

Soda Labels are from the Mustache Madness collection from BirthdayDirect.com 

Mustache Straws and Lollies from OrientalTrading.com

I created the printables with graphics from JW Illustrations

We had Stache Sugar Cookies and Manly Crunch (Apple Slices)

Chocolate Cigars (Pirouettes)

M&M Mini Tubes as Favors

Root Beers for the grown ups

and Milk Mustaches (Chocolate Milks)

for the kiddies

Real Man (Red Velvet) Cupcakes

I bought the cupcakes because I didn't have time to make them,

the party was at my mom's house, which is a five hour drive

from our house so store bought it was--don't judge me!

With mustache picks from Oriental Trading

Free Printable : Mustache Valentines

Hey guys, everyone busy getting ready for Valentine's Day?

I wanted to share with you what Kolton will be taking to school

to share with his little buddies.

I found these awesome self adhesive mustaches at +Target only $1.50

for 8 of them!  I plan to stick them to Kolton's valentine cards I

designed up last week, I'll probably add some candy also because,

well I love candy! 

I made a non personalized version available for download here.

I got ours printed at a local photo place, they're sized just right for 

4x6 prints, but if you wanted to print them at home there is a

version with smaller cards that will print on a sheet

of regular printer paper here:

I like getting things printed at photo labs though, 

mainly just to save my ink, 

but I do think they look better,

and you don't have to cut them out.

Enjoy!
