Amelia's 1st and My 30th Birthday
We had a wonderful couple of days last weekend. We had a Very Hungry Caterpillar party to celebrate Amelia's 1st Birthday and also my 30th. Yes that's right, on my birthday last year I was busy in hospital giving birth... my worst and best birthday all rolled into one! Lol.
I have been busy with the preparations for the party for a few weeks so I have stopped selling my cards and memory boxes for the time being. I will start again on 1st May once Easter is out of the way. I want to spend as much time with my family over the next few weeks. It's not often that I get so much time off work!
I put my love of card making and papercraft into practice at the party and made all sorts of decorations to include invitations, food picks, a "Thank you for coming" sign, a birthday card for Amelia and some little cards to stand around the food on the table.
I ordered the most FANTASTIC cake from Teresa's Tasty Treats (on Facebook). It was a major talking point and everybody loved it. I really didn't want to cut it. It was so spectacular!
A great day was had by all. Amelia and I were thoroughly spoilt with beautiful cards and gifts and the weather was perfect so we were able to get out into the garden.
Here are some photos of the day, and of the things I made:
