One Simple Bliss

I was recently sent some amazing pictures from one of our reader's daughter's first birthday. She used the Lollipop tutorials to create her own decorations. I hope you enjoy these pictures as much as I did. Especially the ones of her adorable daughter! What a better way to enter the party, than walking through  giant lollipops!

This next week or two will be all about making decorations for a lollipop birthday party. Although you could use the same concept and make it for any theme that you would like.

I used Microsoft Word to create mine. It was pretty easy to do! You can make yours say whatever you would like. You can also change the wording to make these into birthday p...
