That’s right. I went and forgot our first birthday…which happened sometime around March 13th! Looking back a year, it’s hard to believe I took those first baby steps to starting my own business after so many years of entertaining and designing, and even harder to believe how different life is from this time last year. It hasn’t always been easy, and there’s been plenty of sacrifice along the way, but I wouldn’t trade any of it for the world!
It humbles me to think just how many people we’ve helped with their celebrations, the over twelve hundred people following along with frog prince on Facebook and Twitter, and that I have such fabulous designers and contributors like Ashley, Courtney and Carrie helping me along.
It’s been a pleasure and a privilege to meet and work with people the world over. I am constantly amazed by the creativity of the mommas I work with and the true willingness of the “party people” to give each other a hand up and help out. All of it is truly a wish come true!
I’ve given a lot of thought as to how to celebrate this big milestone, and I decided to celebrate with something very special that is not offered anywhere else. I am giving away one birthday in a box for 10 handcrafted by yours truly in the pattern of your choice from my store. Special, because I don’t sell these – a priceless handcrafted with love prize for one of my valued readers! In the box will come:
- 10 5×7 invitations
- One “Happy Birthday Banner”
- A dozen personalized cupcake toppers
- A dozen cupcake wrappers
- 10 favor tags
- 10 thank you notes
- …and maybe a surprise or two!
So how do you enter? Make sure you follow me on facebook, twitter, or here on my blog. I’ve had a wish come true–I want to hear about yours! For an extra entry, tell me what kind of birthday wish you might have made as a kid…and don’t be surprised if you see your wish show up in a party later! I’ll announce a winner chosen at random on April 11th.
I want everyone to have a chance to have a little celebration with me, so I’m also offering a 15% discount in my store through Wednesday, April 6th with the code FPPBDAY. I truly appreciate every one of you out there!

I would wish for silly things as a child like a baby brother. I did get one eventually so wishes do come true!
