When people tell you time fly's when you have kids, they really werent kidding.  As I type this I have a 13 month old and I feel like it was just maybe a month ago that I had her.  She has grown and changed so much in the last year and is truly a delight.  Last month we had her First Birthday Party and that day went by in a blur, kind of like your wedding day, you remember it but you are running around doing so much you aren't sure you attended the party.  I brought two cameras but only managed to remember to take a few pictures. Thankfully one of my best friends is also a photographer and she brought her camera and took pics.  So most of these are credited to Alison Epps Photography :)

My theme for the party was black and white with pops of color.  We had her black and white reading tent set up with little pinata's spelling out her name from Katie Franklin draped across the tent. I took images from my phone from Isla's first year and created a poster from Social Print Studio to show off all those adorable baby pics. Many of our friends had children within the last few years so there were lots of little ones running and crawling around. We had perfect weather for an outdoor party and it went by way too quickly.

I made Isla's cake and used gum paste to make the "one" to go on the top. (tutorial here)  She was very dainty about her cake smash, dipping her fingers in the icing but never getting to the cake part.  It was a wonderful first birthday and we are blessed with so many friends and family that came to celebrate with us.

I'm excited to give you the opportunity to win the large heart pinata you see in the pictures. Katie makes each pinata by hand and the full size pinata's are filled with matching confetti. Her pinatas have been featured on Oh Joy!, 100 Layer Cake and Cake-let, Southern Weddings and Brides.com. You can check out her etsy page here. https://www.etsy.com/shop/KatieKFranklin​
