Wreath made by my friend, Mary-Margaret,
for my baby shower and I repurposed it
for the Derby party.
This wreath was a Pluff Mudd Studio tutorial. |
On Saturday, we hosted a Kentucky Derby party. I won some
Pluff Mudd Studio printables from
Crossing the Bugger-Dixon Line! It was exciting to winning, but the pressure was on to plan a party in less than a week (yikes)! The Derby is know as the fastest 2 minutes in sports, and I felt like I was in a "party planning" derby to pull off a party in less than a week!
Below are some photos from the party displaying all the printables used. I also had a fun time using some of Tillman's new toys as props. The rocking horse and saddle were Nick's. Tillman's Mimi brought down a lot of Nick's toys from child hood when she last visited.
