PINK PARTY

Hello!

What's that.... you're here for the party?

Oh no!  I'm so sorry but you're a few days late.

What?  You'll settle for seeing the pictures instead?

OK, here we go.  Pink dresses on, please!

We have bedecked the whole house in pink.

 

Luminarias and bunting.

Pink banners

 Pink flowers.

 Even pink owls... a contribution from big kidlet (we all love to party plan!)

Of course, what would a party at Amelie's House be without a cake...

I took the motif from the invites.

 Cupcakes.

 Iced gems.

 Cake pops.

And party bags.

We didn't even hold back on pink for the boys.

The party bags had pink wand cookies for the girls and pink dinosaurs for the boys, pink sweets, pink balloons, pink torches... a lot of pink.

Fabulous pink feltiness from the wonderful Marie.

And then we had the party games. As they were only little children at the party we made do with 'pass the parcel' and 'musical bumps' for entertainment. At the very last minute I bought a selection of bubble wands and just sent the ten 4 year olds into the garden to play, which was a great idea!

I promise the pinata tutorial really soon!  It was highlight of the party for most of the kids.

 And within two hours, all that was left of six months planning were happy memories and cake crumbs!

A SPECIAL DAY...

Four years ago today I was lying in the room above where I am now with a gorgeous little bundle of  baby!

I don't want to make you mums jealous but she came very quickly and pretty much painlessly. So quickly that we didn't make it to the hospital.  Fortunately the midwives made it just in time meaning  Mr Lemon Drizzle didn't need to step in.  Actually my Mum was also here and she had taken her rings off and boiled the kettle (my Dad needed a cup of tea!)

Anyway that tiny bundle is now a rampaging force, mostly of destruction!  But also very cudly and always likes me to know that she loves me, so on the whole I've decided to keep her!

 Obviously there is a party on the horizon but tomorrow it is just a small family party so I made a small pink cake for my small pink pickle.

There are also decorations going up.

Happy Birthday my darling!

Where has Nevie-Pie cakes gone?

Sorry if you were looking for the main Nevie-Pie Cakes website and can't find it - no, you are not going mad, it does seem to have disappeared!
Mr Lemon Drizzle is fixing this now - he informs me that: "Yola have suffered a DoS attack and their support forums tell me I need to reconfigure the A record at your Domain Provider to point to their new IP".
That seem like gibberish to me, but he also says that it should all be fixed again within 48 hours. Fingers crossed...
