So when we last met, I was preparing for Chloe's Birthday party and the Stitches and Craft Show. I also had several projects to work on but I can't tell you about those or I'd have to kill you.
Kidding!! I will let you in on those as they pop up in the magazine world. I have also created another Audrey and Maude pattern but more about that later.
And my computer died on me! But I'll save all those stories for another day.
This post I will devote to a little photo run down of Chloe's 9th Birthday party and I will continue with other stuff later this week.
So...we started with a little cupcake decorating and much finger licking!
And they made a few chocolates.
Next I took out my fabric scrap boxes, some stamps and some paper and asked them to design their own placemat to use at the dinner table.
They concentrated very hard on this and came up with a heap of gorgeous ideas. They used them for dinner and then took them home.
Lots of yummy nachos and heaps of giggling.
After dinner fun with some silly string.
And of course... yummy icecream Birthday cake.
Happy 9th Birthday my gorgeous girl!!
The next day we went and had her ears pierced! Ahh so grown up already. Where did all that time go?
I promise you will hear from me again soon!!

Glad to see you back!! Fabulous party - great cake, chocs and placemats - love it! x
Pierced ears - now she is most definitely a grown up girl!
As the mother of a 9 yr old girl, make sure you keep a bottle of something stiff in the cupboard - those hormones start to kick in any time around now, and you will need it in order to keep your sanity ;)
What a gorgeous party!
What a lovely mum!
Glad to have you back.

Silly string is all good fun until it is time to clean it up!
She looks so happy for her birthday - well done to you!
Oh, you're SO RIGHT about Lucinda's artwork!! Isn't she a gifted little girl?
What a gorgeous birthday party! I failed "birthday party" school but you were obviously dux of the class.
Yay! your back. Your daughter is blessed to have such a fun and crafty mommy. We are waiting to get our girls ears pierced too. I remember that special day when I went with my mom and my best friend to get mine done. They grow up way too fast.

Looks like a lovely day - I shan't let my 9YO see, though, as she's not allowed to have her ears pierced until she's 11. :)
