Another Great Birthday

Happy Monday everyone!
.
This was definitely one of the best weekends I have had in a LONG time!  We got to spend time with so many of our dear friends and I was not ready for them to leave.  We celebrated this sweet girl's birthday on Saturday.
.
 .
L's best friend and her parents arrived Friday night from Bloomington.  We had such a great time hanging out with them.  Saturday morning some of our sweet neighbors from our old neighborhood came. After spending some time with them at our house we all headed over to the skating rink.
.
 .
Then one of L's closest friends from her old gymnastics team showed up.
.
.
Two local friends were also able to make it. :)

.
The skating rink that my girls are taking lessons at fills one of the rinks with tons of bounce houses during the summer.  So the girls were able to bounce  in the bounce houses after skating for a while.  (sorry the pictures are not fabulous)
.
.
And then our sweet birthday girl blew out her candles, and we had cake and opened presents.
 .
.
I have two projects to share with you today that I created for Emma's Paperie.  The first is a summer canvas I created for our summertime assignment.
.
 .
This second project was what I came up with based on a sketch by the fabulous Anabelle O'Malley.  You can see the sketch and supply lists for both of these projects on the Emma's Paperie Blog.

Thank you so very much for stopping by today.  I hope your week if filled with love and joy!

Happy Birthday to my Sweet 12 Year Old

Hi everyone! 
.
Playing a bit of catch up today.  Sorry for being MIA so much this summer.  It has been a busy, busy summer.  This weekend we celebrated this sweet girl's 12th birthday.
.
.
We decided that with her being so involved in sports and now being in Middle School we would get her a cell phone as her birthday gift.  Needless to say, she did not put it down all weekend. :)
.

.
K decided she wanted to do a mall scavenger hunt.  Since we are so new to the area she only invited a few friends.  It was the perfect party for a small group.  I created a list of things to find at that mall and they had to take pictures in various places and buy a few things.  They each bought a bag of candy at the candy store, a ring from a jewelry store and got some photos from the photo booth. 
.
.
Some of the other stops on their list included a photo on a lawn mower at Sears...
.
.
and wearing sunglasses at Justice.
.
.
.
We then got a cookie cake for the girls.
.
.
I have a couple of cards to share with you also.  I created both of these cards for Emma's Paperie.  You can find the supplies and other designer's amazing designs on the Emma's Blog
