A crafting birthday party

Hello there! Have you had a good weekend? I have had a brilliant weekend - my long planned birthday party came and went - but it was such fun! For the daytime I had 12 friends over to craft with the very lovely Jo Rice... We had such a great day ...Jo is so beautiful and kind - thanks so much Jo if you are reading this!!!

Here we are at the end of the day with our completed ATC boxes! 

Here's a close up of mine ...


I do like it - but many of the others were so amazing I wasn't so keen on mine on the day - but now I like it!!!

Here's some more pics from the day ...

  12. Just read on Anne's blog that you had a birthday, and going back to enjoy the project she made. How lovely that you could all gather to celebrate a special milestone birthday and what fun it was for me to see some blog pals. Hope that you had just a super grand day. And that is one splendidly decorated ATC box. Love the color and all the texture and interesting embellishments. Now back to look more closely at Anne's. TFS

  14. Wow! The cake looks delicious and it such an interesting theme for a party. I should have a party like this on my birthday. I haven’t even decided the event venue and my birthday is next week. But I am really happy about one thing that is I got to see this post before my birthday and now I know how to make it interesting.
