My little rainbow's first birthday: a "party animal" parade!

It's been such a long time since I last posted anything... Being a working mum certainly keeps you busy!!! The thing is that you have to prioritise and when doing so, being a caring mum, an active employee, and a creative hobbyist take precedence over editing and arranging photos. 
Nonetheless, during my Christmas leave I took the opportunity to go through the photos of my son's first birthday party, since I'm now in the process of arranging his second one (he's a young aquarius, being born in the beginning of February). I'm quite proud of the way that I decorated this event and decided to spend some time and create this post about it.    
The theme of the party was broad, something like "party animals", since my little boy is crazy about each and every living creature! I had jungle and farm animals all mixed together and a rainbow-wide colour palette. I had all kinds of sweets and even a special no-sugar cake for toddlers. There were some plastic animals wearing miniature party hats and bow ties, some animal air-balloons, animal hats, animal sunglasses, animal posters and table labels...and of course an animal-themed cake!!!

Welcome Spring

welcome spring, in bloom, message, saying, flower letters

This weekend I decided  to spend some time with my loved ones in the countryside since I wanted to share the experience of the advent of spring with my newborn angel! Seeing the world through his pure, inexperienced eyes I, for once more, realized how much beauty lies in the small manifestations of the blooming nature. We, people of the city, rarely have the opportunity to capture the magnificence of the fact that we live and breathe on this amazingly beautiful planet...Sometimes we let ourselves forget and diminish our existence to the tolerance of a repetitive habit.

But spring is here! Not letting us forget! What a wonderful world this is! What a beautiful, fascinating, colorful world this is! 

My boyfriend shot this video with his mobile phone. So, here is a small sparkle of magic:




Some photos from the same day:

I gave my self a small photo project that day. I was to create and send a bright message to my friends everywhere for the advent of spring. I started by photographing the letters one-by-one on a white piece of paper...

flower letter, advent of spring

Then I placed them on a white background in Photoshop and carefully erased their edges...

"welcome spring", in bloom, message, saying, flower letters

With some filters and frames I ended up with the image on the top of this post!

Have a wonderful spring everyone!!!
