Happy Birthday Natalie

I have a 10-year-old. Well, almost. Natalie's birthday is tomorrow but she had her party today. Here's the banner we made for her this morning. And my autumn decorations.
Nancy Miller, a friend from church, helped with a Stampin' Up party. She taught us how to do all sorts of really cool stuff. Emily is in the back; Joy, Alexis, Natalie and Maddy are in the front.

The cake.
Natalie taking her merry little time blowing out the candles.
Card #1: We used shaving cream to make the bluish background.
Card #2: We used marbles to paint the white paper.
Card #3: The house and witch are embossed. And we sponged the green and purple. It was all so fun.
I rate parties on the level of stress and this one gets an A+. The girls were an absolute delight and Nancy did a great job teaching us what to do.

What a fun birthday party. I thought having a 2 year old party was stressful, but it doesn't take much to please a 2 year old.
