Happy Pink Birthday!!

Hello Friends!
And a big Happy Birthday to Beverly of Pink Saturday fame!

And best wishes for many more!

Speaking of birthdays, I participated in Heather's Happy Birthday Matchbox Swap

last month and had lots of fun making paper birthday cake boxes.

I covered the matchbox in pink music paper

and made a band with eyelet paper from Martha Stewart.

I glued a cake box that I made from a template on top,

embellished with lace, pearls, festooning and a couple of coffee filter roses I made.

I love making these little cake boxes,

they're so much fun to decorate and tuck a little giftie inside!

Here is one I made for my friend Brenda:

And finally some pics of my son-in-law's 30th birthday

when I made crowns for everybody.  I started out making one for him,

then one for everyone who had a summer birthday,

and from there the project ballooned out to include everyone!

Sorry for all the pics, I know this isn't Facebook, lol,

but I didn't get a chance to take a pic of just the crowns

before the guests arrived!

The birthday boy:

As he put it, that's my life on a hat!

His 30th birthday and pics of the things he loves: my daughter, San Diego Chargers,

Sacramento Kings, New York City, Macy's (where he works),

dinosaurs and flip flops (for fun).

A pretty bird for Chelsea and a cupcake for Aynsley:

 A travel crown for Bob, leopard skin and feathers for my wild child,
 and Wizard of Oz theme for Wende.

San Francisco Giants for Sean and Paris for Jackie.

Kevin's crown has birds and a nest,

that's me with butterflies. 

A road warrior crown for Mike and a retro crown for Jim who just turned 60.

Sooo much fun!

Everyone was a good sport in sporting their crowns.

Happy Birthday,  

Beverly, I hope you celebrate in grand style!
