Before's and After's

Before:

Before:


After:





This little one-year-old (seriously- how did that happen so fast?!?)  had a rockin' rainbow birthday.  I'll just voluntarily admit that the cake inspired the whole party theme, it's true- but how awesome is it?  That's right- the cake that inspired the color scheme, goodie bags, rainbow Jell-o, and of course, the super spectacular rainbow cardi.   

Because I was too busy party hosting, I didn't grab many pictures- I only managed to get this one of Elise in her sweater (I'll try to get more soon):



However, we did get in a mini photo shoot before the party and were able to get some great 1-year shots, including this one-

And unfortunately, International Craft Day was a little forgotten this year- maybe I need to rethink the date for the future.

    Oh my gosh! So much rainbow gorgeousness! That cake is awesome, that sweater is pretty much the best ever and your portrait of Elise at 1 is stunning. That's a real treasure.

    Adorable sweater and cake, but mostly adorable baby. She really is a sweetie and it's been fun to watch her grow this last year.

    I adore the rainbow cardi! I'm expecting a baby in May and currently looking for cute baby sweater patterns. This one has gone right to the top of my list.

    Do you plan on selling this pattern? I would be your first buyer, I swear!

    Hi, I found the rainbow cardigan on Google Images, when searching for rainbow outfits. My daughters birthday is coming up and she is having a rainbow theme. Do you/would you sell/make the sweater if ordered? If so I'd like to order one for my daughter. It's simply adorable and so is the cake. :-)
    Please contact me. My email is kkortiz2@gmail.com
