Ellie's Dol Party

My friend, BL made these beautiful dol towers (dol go im) to coordinate with Ellie's dress.

My SIL, BC and I made these tissue paper flowers.

Yeah! A family picture of us. These are rare. 

My SIL, BC made this very elegant banner. 

Photo collage and doljabi board with photos from her 11 month session. 

My other SIL, SC made 150 cookies for the party favors. Yes, 150!!

After photographing so many dols for other families this year, it was finally Ellie's turn to celebrate her big day. Of course, being in November, I was extremely busy with work and didn't have much time to plan. Luckily, I have very talented friends and family! My sister in laws took care of the party favors and banner and my friend, B painstakingly made 4 dol towers for me! I loved all the purple colors and how elegant everything looked. Ellie was fighting a virus and had just gotten better the day of the party so she was stuck to my hip most of the night. I didn't get to take many shots during the party (but I did get some candids from my point and shoot camera!) so most of the detail shots above are from the day after at home. At least I was fair - all 3 of my girls don't have many pictures from their dol. Well, that's the life of a photographer's daughter!

{Kiki's Birthday Favors} Cookie Favors | Party Favors

Kiki's birthday party favors surpassed all of my expectations. Sandra and Brenda created these cookie favors to match the Fish Tank theme of the party room.  The packaging was so creative - the waves even had edible sparkles for that extra special touch! They looked so cute I didn't want anyone to eat them! My kids had other ideas though and proceeded to eat the eyeballs off their cookies first. Thank you SO MUCH Sandra and Brenda for making Kiki's birthday stand out from the rest. Contact them at sandra@kuteideas.com to order your cookie favors!
