Birthday Pictures...

Warning this post will contain lots of Birthday Pictures! Firstly eventhough it is the middle of winter we had such a beautiful day, nice warm winter sun (It just messed around a bit with my pictures) The party was a huge success and loads better than last years. Word of advice: Keep it simple, otherwise it just means more work for you. Okay here is the first picture:



Two little darlings sharing a chair meant for one and eating cheese curls and wathching Barney ( very healthy!)




Chrismari and her Cousin Christelle




The Play Pit (tent filled with balloons)Lol, with kids you have to be creative!




Why Parents should not have too much SUGAR!




The Birthday Cake made by me (I know not so fancy as store cakes but it is made with love!)



Opening the presents...

It was such a wonderful day and I just want to say thank you to all the nice comments and birthday wishes! It is so special to me!

Time Goes By....

What a sad and depressing header but I am facing reality here and for me it is sad. My dd turns 2 this Wednesday the 28th. I cannot believe she is nearly 2! Where has the time gone by? She is so cute nowadays. She says the cutest things and loves to play with her blocks and slide. Every night before bath time I put her on the potty but all she does is tell me very loudly 'peepee' but there is no 'peepee' and the one night I forget she does a wee wee in the bath! I swear she knows I am trying to get her to do it in the potty, Lol! They are definetly so much more cleverer than us sometimes!

I took this photo about a week ago, I am trying my hand at paper scrapping and she is totally fascinated by what I am doing and she just wants to join in, a real budding artist. In any case I gave her some paints and a sponge brush to play with...absolute bliss...but do not think I could let her out of my eye for one single second! I scrubbed my hands raw with the sugar soap trying to get rid of her free style graffiti, I couldn't use my mouse because my hands were cracked and sore and I couldnt bend my fingers, so there was absolutely no way that she was going to have a chance at decorating my walls again!




I must say I feel enlightened, priviliged and so creative with PS CS2! I cannot believe I designed so long without it, I mean just look at the papers and felt I made. This is my new Kit which will hit the store on Thursday and it is a real party kit! Bright and fun colors! I am making her party bags and here are decorations for the bags that I am just going to print out and paste on:





Well other than that I am hoping that you are all doing fine and enjoying your summer vacation!
