I was working on a budget and only a little bit time, so I did a whole lot of DIY-ing for Noah's party. I made the "Camp Noah" pennant banner out of burlap, twine, stencils and some paint. The jars for the s'more mix, wooden letter "N," Spanish moss, and wood accents were all purchased from Hobby Lobby. The favor bags were filled with organic granola bars, fruit strips and lollipops. The little pouches are actually loose leaf tea bags I purchased from our local Vitamin Cottage and personalized using ink stamps. I made the cake using four 9 inch round layers stacked up, and created the camping scene on top using marshmallow fondant. The fun camp out cake was based off of one I found here: http://fowlsinglefile.blogspot.com/2011/07/cake-for-camping-party-theme.html
The rest of the decor came from around our house (glass jars, lanterns and baskets).

Thanks so much for the kind words, ladies! Such a pleasure putting everything together!
Hawahawa–Who knew marshmallow fondant would be so easy? Will definitely be making more of my little mens’ birthday cakes in the future. :)
Jen–How fun! I love that camping works great for both little men and little ladies. :) Would love to see what you guys come up with. Best of luck!
