November Birthdays

Time for some catch up... 2 of my nieces had birthdays in November!

Here are the cakes & cupcakes that I made for their Fairy themed (Halloween) birthday party!


I made birthday cards in their favorite colors (& by favorite I mean Lauren likes pink and decided that her baby sis should like purple) Emi turned 2! She has a little stuffed bear that she always carries around, "Bear Bear" - I colored Cuddle Anya's bear to match him!


I couldn't resist showing you how cute she is.. dressed in her PURPLE fairy costume!


Lauren's birthday was on Thanksgiving this year (along with a certain someone I know- her card to be posted once I know she's received it) She's been taking some ballet classes and thought Ballerina Anya was perfect.. I even made her twirl...




Here is Miss PINK fairy.. I can't believe she's 5!


I'll be back soon with some more cards to share this week.  Thanks for stopping by!
