Mission 'Party' is complete!

Evie's 3rd birthday party was a success, and with a minimum of stress too! We scored a beautiful sunny spring morning, so the kids could run around outside.Evie played with her little friends, and there weren't any conflicts, so us parents got to relax too!!

Here's a peek at the amazing cake I made!! (Icing does hide a multitude of sins - glued together pieces of cake, resting on another cake, made taller by sponge finger biscuits because her feet stuck out the bottom!) This Belle doll didn't come with a crown, an old shiny button did the trick!


I made party bags for the kids too, sewing their initials on the front. Evie loves these little drawstring bags for her bits & pieces, so I figured the other kids would like them too! I was able to use material that I had at home already, also cost effective!
