Our little grand daughter Ella turned one year old this month... One year is quite a milestone so I want to record that for my book.
A lady bug birthday party was held for her...
the following pictures are some of my favorites
of her first year on earth...we are so happy to
have her in our family, we love her very much!

~Little Ella Mae...named after my mom~
I so love her eyes...they tell a beautiful story!
Those eyes again...they sure capture our hearts~
Wish I looked this cute in a swim suit!
The vintage baby look~
Those eyes again...WOW!
These two pictures are of me as a one year old.
I made Ella's little Lady Bug Birthday Party dress.
She loved it... and she looks so cute in it!
The cup cakes for her Birthday party...
OOH...A CAKE JUST FOR ME?!
"It has a bug in it... are you sure it's ok to just dig in?!"
"Ha Ha...How's that?!"
"Ok, ok,....I know, I need a bath...but it was so good!"
"Saying good bye to my silly grandma...she loves me SO SO much!"And I do for sure...We had so much fun at Ella's birthday party.
Her mommie had really made everything very nice and they had
so many friends and family there to celebrate Ella.
One year old's are something to celebrate... for sure!

She is sooooo cute, Julie. What a fabulous grandmother you are to sew for these lovely girls. Everything you have posted has been so sweet. I just loved the sink picture. Hugs, Deb =^..^=x5
Julie I love visiting your blog because I can tell just how much your family means to you and how these little ones have planted themselves right in the middle of your heart.
Ella is so adorable and her eyes really are beautiful and big.
The ladybug party is so cute - the little dress, the cupcakes are perfect. I love that she got to have her very own cake to make a mess with.
Happy Birthday to your Ella!
Oh Julie, she is just GORGEOUS!!! Happy Birthday Sweet Ella!!!

What a special day and a lovely party for your precious little Ella.She is such a sweety! I imagine you must have a celebration of some kind nearly every month Julie,you have such a large family!
Yes,you were right! It was a cobbler..or crumble as we call it here.
Bellaboo :o)

Ella is so very precious!!! Those eyes can definitely capture hearts! We can see where she got them too....from you!!!
Oh the swimsuit one is too cute!!
My sweetpea will be one tomorrow!!
Wish I could be with her, but not until next Tuesday....7 days and counting!!!
To sweet Julie!Such lovely photos to share, lucky you.I love the lady bug theme to the party, I love all the pictures but the one of her standing with the long dress with white background and tiny pink flowers is adorable.So sweet.Beautiful memories Julie, thanks so much for sharing them with us.HUGS!
Ella is adorable with her big sparkling eyes. Cute little birthday dress too. I do kind of resemble Ella in a swimming suit but my rolls aren't cute! lol
What a beauty! My favorite picture of Ella is the one with the bunny ears. The dress you made her to match her birthday theme of ladybugs is adorable! What a talent you have. :0)
She's a beautiful little one year old!
Thanks for stopping by. I've seen the soap dispenser mason jars as well, and I would love to make one. I have the pump piece saved but I'm having trouble finding the solid metal lids. Mine are all zinc and glass top combos.
Julie...what a DOLL baby Miss Ella Mae is (my Grandma was Mae). I just love lady bug stuff and she looks like a lady bug in that red/white/black outfit! So sweet :)
Blessings!

I don't think my first post went through.
The pictures are just the cutest. The first one makes my heart melt. The one in the suit.....well that's what I look like in a bathing suit and it isn't pretty. She carries it off well. You even dressed with the theme.
Absolutely adorable.
She looks just like you when you were a baby! Oh so cute! Fun FUN! Love the outfits and the cake and cupcakes! She is too precious!
Such a doll face! Happy Happy Birthday to Ella!
Love the ladybug theme too!
Cute as a bug dress you made for her! What a great grandma you are!
Julie-What a perfectly beautiful child...those eyes...oh! those eyes...someday some young man's fancy will be caught by those engaging eyes! She is just adorable-the kind of baby you want to eat up because you can't get enough of her. What a blessed, blessed addition to your family! Diana
She's so adorable. Those pictures are fabulous. That birthday cake is just the cutest and so are the cupcakes.
I agree those eyes are just so beautiful.
I loved the bathing suit, but my rolls are not what one would call cute at all!!!
Happy birthday to a real sweetie.
I remember my gd first cake that she got all by herself, but we forgot to take it off before she dove in.
I thought the sink photo was darling too.
Have a great day.
What a little doll. I could just eat her
Hi Julie! Oh, what a little doll little Miss Ella Mae is! I love those big most gorgeous eyes! I feel like I've been to her birthday party! Love the cake and the precious little dress you've made her! How sweet popping her down into the sink and rinsing her off. I feel like that would feel good on some of our hot days!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Julie, you are blessed beyond measure! That Little Ella is breathtakingly beautiful... those eyes... Sweet, sweet birthday post!!
Happy Belated Birthday, Ella!
She is adorable and those eyes are something else. I love the picture with the bunny ears on. You sure did make her the cutest dress. I can't sew clothes. Love the cute cupcakes and cake. She is just adorable.
She is a Doll!Her party brings back memories of our two Grandchildren's Firsts. It's these fond memories that we draw upon when they get older and do something they should be scolded for. When you remember these moments, You Just Can't!
First birthdays are SO VERY SPECIAL!
LOVE the photo of Ella seeing her very own special cake...her little lips...so sweet!
Julie...wow she looks like you!!The dress is perfect for the party!! Again I say I love the ladybug theme party!!!
Of course we love them..they are part of our children and a part of us..and those little faces...welll they just melt your heart!!
Hugs..Cindy from Rick-Rack and Gingham

These pictures of your precious Ella Mae are too adorable. Honey she is just the most beautiful little girl in the world. Aren't we just the luckest grandmothers a live.
I was thinking the whole time how much she looks like you and then you showed your pictures and I was right. She is you!
Lucky little girl!
I always love coming by here.
Thanks for coming by and leaving a comment just now. I am better but still can't return to work but I am trying not to let it depress me.
I am lucky just to be this far along.
I wanted to really show some cute pictures I took of my grandbabies while there but I put these few on there thinking maybe I won't get in trouble but I am sure my DL will write and tell me to get them off of my site. Oh well
Love ya sweetie
Maggie

I was thinking her eyes were gorgeous in the first couple pics before you even wrote that. She is so stinkin cute.
My very favorite kind of post ~ a sweet little girl story! All one years of it. She is beautiful and you are so right about those eyes! I kind of think her pretty grandma had something to do with passing along those genes :)
she is just precious! How I love those cupcakes and her own little cake. my first baby had a ladybug themed room.

She is definitely a beauty! My little grandbaby is turning one next week. The theme for her party is "cupcakes" ... love your baby's cupcake shirt! :)
And the lady bug theme was adorable! Such a cute cake and cupcakes! Your daughter did a great job.

Oh, Julie... what a beautiful granddaughter... who happens to look a lot like her grandmother. She's going to love your posting as she grows into a beautiful woman.
Thank you for your comment today. When the time comes to recover the chair, I will photograph it, cut out the name and frame it.

Oh! Julie, How adorable Is Ella Mae, I just love her name, and I do see the resemblance. Happy one year birthday wish to her.
I know I have told you before, but you have a beautiful family, and thank you for sharing them with us.
Enjoy you week.

Oh gosh she is sooo cute! What a fun birthday theme!
Happy Birthday to little Ella! What a cutie! The lady bug dress is adroable! I'm making a shower gift for a little baby girl. I'm having so much fun with it, I will have to post it! Ella is beautiful like her Grandma!
Ella Mae is a living doll! But, of course, all your grandchildren are just beautiful! I always look forward to seeing them.
What a Sweetie Pie!!! She is just gorgeous, I especially like the one picture of her in the bunny ears! Aren't we blessed to have our children and grandchildren nearby so that we can see them often?! My granddaughter is here right now and making cakes in her Easy Bake oven, yum, they smell delish!
What a little Angel. You are so blessed in every way with these grandkids! Wow! My grandmother's name was Ella and my granddaughter Julia's middle name is Mae. Awesome!
She is just precious! You are so blessed! blessings,Kathleen
Hello Julie. I have been following your sweet blog for awhile, now, and love all the things that I am learning from you. Our oldest daughter had a baby girl, (our first grandchild) in July. It has been a wonderful celebration of life and family love, for us all. I dearly love your sewing. The little dresses you are making are not only adorable, but, made with "Grandma Love". Can you tell us all how you are making these cute dresses? I would really like to make some for my grand daughter, too.
Thanks for the upliftment and happiness found on your blog. You are really something else. Love ya Sister.
Julie you truly do have the most stunning and gorgeous grand babies EVER! Oh my goodness she is just darling! You are one blessed Grandma!
Have a wonderful evening.
~Melissa :)
Dear Julie
What a sweet and pretty little girl Ella is...she is adorable and I agree, those eyes are so beautiful and as they say...our eyes are the mirrors of our heart!
I love the lady bug party dress you made...you have so much talent!
Enjoy all your lovely grandchildren Grandma!

Your granddaughter is a real cutie...what a little charmer she is. My 2nd great granddaughter was born on Aug.13th and they named her Elena Maarie.
She's just soooo adorable, Julie! Happy Birthday to your sweet one!
Enjoy all these precious baby moments, my friend!
Julie
Awww, happy birthday to her! What a little sweetheart!
Oh my stars! How in the world can you leave her for even 5 minutes? She is totally adorable!! I love, love the little ladybug dress you made her. For some reason, I've always called my daughter "Ladybug" as a term of endearment...among others. She is a collector of ladybug items too.
Thanks so much for sharing these incredibly beautiful photos! This little girl has such gorgeous, wise eyes.
xoxo

Ella!!! Happy birthday indeed! She is adorable and those cupcakes are divine. Wonderful event with wonderful photos.
Ella is a dorable s is her grandma. You look so much alike at the same age. Her Lady Bug party looked like a wonderful success and such a darling idea. Her cupcakes, dress and smile was so cute. This year has gone so fast.
We have a little grandson turning 1 next week.
I read your last post and it would be weird to visit others who live in the home your lived in for so long and loved. You never know when (and how often) you plant a seed (or perhaps a bulb) of the beauty of miracles which will come...sometimes even much later than desired...
I feel you plant many seeds of love, hope and friendship with each post you share. Your beautiful spirit always shines through. ~♥
What an adorable baby. We just celebrated the 1st birthday of one of our little grandsons. Could there be anything better than grand babies? No. ;o)
She is so precious and I love that you included your 1yr old pictures too=0) What a little angel! She is very lucky to have a silly grandma=0)
XOXO,
Carol
