This is a bit of a busy week. A really big bit busier than normal. It is my daughter's birthday in a few days and we had her party on monday. I also volunteered to bake three hundred Easter biscuits for a party at my son's school and I am having our annual Easter egg hunt as well.
All this translates into a lot of baking and making. Not that I mind. Nothing quite like being in the kitchen and baking. Nothing, except maybe making things for parties.
My little girl loves to draw. She wakes up and starts looking for crayons or pencils and some paper. We always take some drawing stuff with us just in case and we are never in the car without them. So it was not long before the fairy party turned into a drawing party. And then she became so excited. She counted the sleeps and helped with the crafts. She even helped to do her cake.
And on the day she hopped and skipped and giggled, all day long. So precious.
I painted a big floorboard with chalk board paint and some filing boxes became chairs with a bit of white paint and a chalk board lid. I kept the eats simple and made some painting aprons from plastic table cloth covers. I simply glue gunned the frills, ribbon and rickrack to the plastic. So simple, but the girls adored them. The cake was a bit of a last minute affair, but M was so happy with the end result and in the end, that is all that count. Her happy smiles and giggles made me giggle too.
