My best friends baby shower was a pumpkin themed shower. Since her shower was in October, it was such an easy theme. It was also super easy to decorate for too!

Doc McStuffins Party Decor
The decorations for Melody’s 6th birthday party were fairly easy to do. The theme Melody picked was Doc McStuffins. I mostly used toys and books Melody already had, so I only had to really buy tablecloths and cardstock!
Doc McStuffins Birthday Banners
Melody’s 6th birthday was a Doc McStuffins themed party. Banners are always a focal point. I could not find any that were either reasonable priced or I loved. So I ended up making my own.
Rainbow Ranger Party Decor
Decorating for parties is probably one of my favorite things when planning. For Melody’s Rainbow Ranger birthday party, finding all things rainbow was a lot of fun.
Happy Birthday Banner
Like all of Melody’s birthday parties, I made her birthday banner for the Rainbow Ranger’s birthday party. I used the same cardstock that I used for her invitations, and I kept it in rainbow order just like she asked. The letters I kept in white.
O-FISH-ALLY ONE BANNER
So this was a really cute banner I made for Emily’s youngest’s first birthday. It was a fishing themed party, and he is O-FISH-ally ONE! The saying was also mentioned on his birthday party invite. With the way we did the font, there was not a good way to add the dashes, but I still think with the spacing it was adorable. I used a bobber for the “o” in one, and she decorated the wall with blue balloons to go along with the theme. This is also where he ate his smash cake!
3D Snowflake Banner
For Melody’s Frozen birthday party, we focused a lot on snowflakes. This worked well because I was able to find a lot on clearance after Christmas, and it was fitting for Frozen too. One of the things I had Brad make using his 3D printer was a snowflake banner. He used white filament (we had clear but that was a disaster that I will explain when I tell you all about the favors). I had him use two different size snowflakes for variety. The big issue we had was the twine. The holes in the snowflakes where too small for the twine I had. I ended up using sewing thread which was far from ideal but it worked for the party. The banner was cute and added a little touch to our living room since we had no other party decor in there.
3D Letter
One of Brad’s Christmas presents last year was a 3D printer. He has found lots of things to print, and I wanted to try and find something he could print as decor in our newly made over playroom/craft room. I searched and searched, but I could not find anything I loved. That is when we decided to just put letters on the wall and work with that. Brad came up with the letters himself, and we decided to spell out “CREATE” above my craft table since I do a lot of creating there.
Baby Shower Guestbook
For Emily’s baby shower, I definitely wanted some sort of guest book. I opted to keep it simple though. I bought a cute blue/green picture frame from Hobby Lobby that already had a mat with it. Then the “picture” was the invitation. I had everyone sign the mat, then placed it in the frame to send home with Emily.
Diaper Cake
I have made many diaper cakes at this point for various baby showers/sprinkles. But this was my first diaper cake for a little boy! My best friend recently had a baby boy, and I hosted a baby shower for her a while back. It was so much fun getting to use lots of blues instead of all the pink we are used to! I kept the diaper cake simple, but it was definitely all boy!
Snow White Party Decor
For Melody’s third birthday, we had a Snow White themed party. As far as decor went, I played off the Snow White colors and apples. I also included lots of pictures of Melody dressed like Snow White. And I even added in some of her toys.
Paw Patrol Shields
For Lydia’s 3rd birthday, Emily did a Paw Patrol theme. I helped with cutting the parts to the invitations, and I also made cookies. Well I also used my Silhouette Cameo to cut some “shields” from the show to use as added decor.
Ice Cream Banner
Melody's first birthday party was an ice cream themed party. I designed an ice cream cone in the Silhouette software then I used that as a staple throughout the party. One of the things I did was create banners using it. Check them out below.
Fireplace Streamers
Melody's first birthday party was an ice cream themed party. The colors were general pastel with the focus on pink, blue, and yellow. I planned for her to have her smash cake in front of our fireplace so that everyone could see it. I also wanted to open gifts in this same location. I knew for gifts we would be sitting down, so I wanted to find some sort of decor that would cover up the actual fireplace. I already had banners and balloons for the mantel. I did some searching online and found where someone used streamers to cover their fireplace, so I decided to attempt that!
Christmas Decor Galore!
Unlike years' past, I decided not to do a post for each room of our house and the Christmas decor that we did. To be honest, I am most positive all of our decor did not even go up this year. That has been the holiday trend now that I have an infant. So below are the different areas of our home and how we decorated them all for Christmas this year! Enjoy!
Thanksgiving Livingroom Decor
On our coffee table, I used a short table runner to give it some color. It is very glittery and is also fall colors with leaf patterns. I reused some of the orange flowers from Halloween with a vase to finish it off.
Thanksgiving Kitchen Decor
I have some cute fall/leafy wired ribbon that I used surrounding my ceramic decorative plate and wrote "Happy Thanksgiving" on it. I have a lot of Thanksgiving and fall paper supplies that I used as well. I switched out our white plastic ware, and I replaced it with crimson and brown instead.
Thanksgiving Diningroom Decor
Luckily I was able to reuse a lot of our Halloween décor for Thanksgiving! I used my burlap table runner with our initial on the ends. For the centerpieces, I reused the orange flowers and vase from Halloween that was used in our kitchen. I think it worked perfectly with the Thanksgiving colors I am using. Next the to the flowers is a brown candle holder with an off-white candle. And to the other side is a ceramic turkey. Both of those items were purchase by Brad before we were married, but I think they work wonderfully with the rest of the décor.
