Celebrations!

Hey!

My apologies for it being so quiet on the blog last week, I had a busy week with family celebrations. It all started on Wednesday with the Beans 1st Birthday, that's not taking into account all the prep work I did before the BIG day! 

Here are my not so little beans...




We had a lovely family party with pizza, chips, homemade curry and of course CAKE! This is my first celebration cake, I had to snap a pic before the ears fell off!! I need some practice I think before the cakes get more complicated. My husband was a little disappointed in that I didn't make the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse like he was expecting!




We then had another party for them on Saturday which their little friends came to, along with family again. This time we had an indoor BBQ as the weather was fine but too cold to be outdoors. It was still good fun. I made another cake but forgot to snap a photo of it before it got cut into. I kept it simple the second time with just cookie cutter Mickeys on top of white icing. 

This is a photo of me and the beans, they were a little tired by this point...




After both the parties, the baking and cooking my husband & I celebrated our 2nd Wedding Anniversary quietly! We did go round to his parents for a Sunday dinner so I didn't have to cook ;)

This is the card I made my husband...




It's hard to believe it was 2 years since we got married in Hawaii, though a lot has happened in those 2 years! I wouldn't change any of it for the world.




For my card I used Strike A Pose! paired with Flower Power #6, I wanted to frame a photo from our big day and choose an appropriate sentiment, the rose and leaves just finished it off nicely. 

Anyway, that is all I have to share with you today, I will be back tomorrow with more to share and fingers crossed later in the week too. I need to squeeze in a lot of crafting this week as we DO have the Uniko September Release. Though it is delayed slightly due to all the craziness of last week, I didn't want to rush it all and I wanted all of the DT to be able to join in too ;) 

Thank you for stopping by today & everyone who has sent the Beans birthday wishes.

  7. What a busy celebration period you've been having! How ever did it get to be 2nd anniversary or, indeed, the beans become mini people in what seems a short space of time..... I sometimes wish time would slow down a little so we could enjoy all the good times for longer (I'm happy to skip the bad times!)
