Tucker is ONE!

I love this party. I am from Tallahassee too and would love to ask you a few questions!

what are these?

Did you make this or did you buy this somewhere?

Same thing did you make or buy this? If you bought it where did you get it from?

hehe this is cute too :) Again, can you tell me where you got it? Sorry, I'm stationed in Germany and can't just go to stores and look like back stateside :)

what are those?

They are gum balls :)

They are gummy snails. I believe Hairbo was the company who makes them. I googled gummy snails.

I wish I could take credit for this one. My sister in law painted it on banner paper. Then I glue it to two snowboards taped end to end together. The dimensions fit perfect in my doorframe. I cut out the center for the dog door.

That should have read showboards.

This was a bit challenging. I took wood letters and experimented with glue and moss. The end result I used hot glue....it was the only thing that worked. I would drizzle hot glue on the letter and then dip it in a bag full of loose moss. It took several coats. It was a labor of love but turned out so cool. I hot glued it to my walls.....I know. Thankfully my walls look fine today! :)

This I ordered on ETSY! Vinyl letters...easy on not so easy off! I had to reprint some spots. All for a look! Ha

do you have a template for these snails? they are adorable

No I created it by drawing a snail shape (that seen in green) on cardstock. Then I cut one inch wide blue strips in varying lengths. I hot glued them all together and then added the m and m tin in the center. Hope this helps! Thanks!

what did you use for the pond punch? I was thinking grape kool-aid?

oh and how did you get them on the ball? DId you just hot glue them and use it as a decoration piece or did you find another way for them to stick so people could still use the gum balls?

I actually used apple juice and used a few drops of food coloring! I think grape juice would be just perfect though.

I used hot glue on a styro ball. I added them one at a time trying to alternate colors. This was a fun project but definitely not edible or salvageable. One thing I wish I would have done in hindsight is paint the styro ball green first. That way no white would show.

Where did you find the doggie balloons and grass?

I bought the balloon animals at chasing_fireflies.net and the grass I bought at stumps.com or shindigs.com. But I bet if you google you can find them in other areas.

Where did you get this sign? I'd like to purchase a similar one for my sister's baby shower.

I bought that sign through a store on ETSY.com

I love this party! We are having a baby shower for my daughter in August with this same theme. A lot of great ideas here. Did you make the lily pad placemats? If so where did you purchase the material and is it felt? Did you have a template? Also where did you find your metal frog that is holding the gum ball decoration? I want to do both of these ideas. Love a lot of the food ideas also, which we will be doing too.

Where did you purchase this? Love it!

Where did you purchase the catails and grass from?
