7th Year Slideshow

I decided not to procrastinate Little a's slide show. Enjoy!

Look Who's 7

One of my indulgences is birthday parties.  I use it for an excuse to get crafty.  This year we found some cute cupcake stuff on clearance at the local craft store so we went with a baking theme.  Little a loved it.

The invitations.  I made these from a card template I found online and odds and ends from scrapbook projects.

The cake.  We used the same template as for the card.  We cut it out of homemade toosie rolls.  They made toosie rolls at the party.  We tried the recipe the week before just to see how it would work.  Then I decided to use the leftover as an alternative to fondant.  It looked great, tasted great, but was a little hard to cut.  The lone green sprinkle was Little j's contribution to the cake.

The birthday girl.  She lost the second of her front teeth at school the day before the party.  Her teacher put it in a cute little tooth shaped box and made a necklace from dental floss.   She's happy that she can still talk with no lisp.

The party guests.

More party fun.
