Happy Birthday Kadence!
My firstborn child is celebrating birthday number seven. It seems impossible. It feels impossible. But any way you figure it, she comes out seven. It's painful watching your children grow up and in some ways grow out of you. But it's grandly satisfying as well. You see them transform before your eyes into these little people who think and feel and make their own choices. Parenting is a balancing act between guiding your children and letting them go. Many times, all you can do is just sit back and cheer them on as they leap, fall and cartwheel their way into trouble and triumph. It's a painstaking craft, the art of parenting. But the laughter, the love, the hugs and the unexpected tender moments make every minute worth it.
So, enough mushy stuff. Time for crafting!
When it comes to Birthday's, I have never been a huge fan of themes. Matching plates, hats, balloons and shirts are all well and good, if you are orderly and can afford it. I am not orderly, and spending that much money on a single day goes against every grain in my body. So, when it comes to party decor, I just go with the flow and do what works.
Here are the decoration/cake photos for Kadence's Birthday.
Tissue paper pom-poms are easy and fun to make. You can hang them or string them!
Every year, we plant a cutting bed of wildflowers in our backyard. That way a pretty boquet is only a few steps away.
The Happy Birthday Banner was fun to make using posterboard and scrapbooking paper.
I made this cake using two round 9 inch pans and by stacking and cutting them into a butterfly shape. For the middle of the butterfly, I used a twinkie. I decorated with purple frosting and lots of sprinkles...and candy of course!
Ready to party!
