My DD just turned 1 in August and we did a “Ladybug” themed party. For the centerpieces, I found an image of a ladybug that I liked and sent it to this FABULOUS artist named Liza. She makes styrofoam centerpieces out of any image you send her. She’s on Ebay… KIDS-WILL-LOVE-EM is the name of her store. So, I got the styrofoam ladybug and attached it to a wooden dowel & painted the dowel black. For the base, I used terra-cotta pots. I used those green styrofoam blocks (you know, the ones used for flower arranging?) to hold the dowel in the pot. I painted the pot in red using acrylic paint, then used sparkle mod podge to give it that glossy & glittery effect. I then used green tissue to fill the base & added ribbon around the top of the pot for that extra oomph! Tah-dah!!! So easy… and semi-homemade!!! WOO HOO!!
I also did the same semi-homemade centerpieces for my DS’s birthday last year. The theme was Little Einsteins … and of Mickey Mouse the year before. I’ll post those pics too!
PS. I also made the cutest Ladybug Hair Clip For my DD. It’s not like the one I have in the store. It’s made of felt. Let me know if you’re interested & I can whip one up for you. =D

RAVE: PRETTY BOWS FOR DD
From: Miami-Mama
for those of you who’s DD has tons oh hair (like mine) or maybe if you don’t like the headbands all that much, check out this site: www.tinybowtique.com
They have the cutest little bows, and they are so soft you can even put them on the smallest of babies. Plus! They are all handmade by a mom!
Quick story on how I found them:
I was at the “Day out with Thomas” with DS while still pregnant with DD and couldn’t help but notice the little girl with the cutes little strawberry clip in her hair. It was sooo cute I had to ask her mom where she got it. Well, it turns out she makes all these very cute hair clips herself. She started after having her DD and not finding anything she liked. So she made some and turn out everyone would ask her where she got them (like me) so she decided to start her own web-site… Or that is at least the story she told me ;)
