Happy Birthday, Baby!

Well, she's not exactly a baby anymore...my oldest turned 6 today.  I love her more than words can say, and it's been so fun to see her change and grow so much, this last year especially...so proud of her!

What a CRAZY week this has been!  The "normal" cleaning, laundry, dinner, school, and the "extra" Centers (help out @ class), first-ever soccer practice, oh, and the EXTRA cleaning. You know, the kind you remember when guests are coming (wink).

Oh, and...a few more projects.  There has been a different kind of 'crafting' around here this week...

But first, I'll show you the invitation (my normal crafting)... we've gone with a butterfly theme this year, as you will see. ;-)

















Cupcakes brought to class yesterday...













Cake for her 1st "friend" party (girls from class) for today...

















A "Pin The Antennae on the Butterfly" poster...looks better IRL. ;-)













And the goody bags (crafts included)...but I'll save that for tomorrow. ;-)

Happy Birthday my beautiful, wonderful daughter!
I love you soooooooooooo much!! :-)

Thanks so much for stopping by, and have a GREAT day! :)

  3. So fun! I am also planning on doing a butterfly theme for Camia's birthday, including a butterfly cake. Did you have a pan for yours?

  5. Jen - no, I didn't have a pan. Cut a 9" cake pan in half, then make the two rounded edges meet in the middle, cut triangles out of the sides. Considering my cake fell apart while getting it out of the pan, I feel like it turned out oK! :)
