This has been a hectic time with many wonderful things learned and enjoyed.
E's party went well and I think everyone had a great time. E certainly did and many thanks to the ASI Gymnastics coaches who made the party spectacular!

Top layer of E's cake.We did the decorating ourselves. The bottom layer went under the raised glass platter and was covered in the same blue icing with fondant sea shells, starfish and sea weed on. We added a layer of silver food spray to make it seem more water like.

Our cool treasure chest of pirate mice! I am so glad I do not have to see a mouse tush now for a long time. It took a while to get things together and finished but it was worth it! The coaches hid the chest and the girls had to look for it before they got their party favors. They seemed to enjoy that. Since there was little left in terms of cake and pizza, I think we did well. E was thoroughly spoilt by her friends getting so many wonderful birthday gifts.

I can now concentrate on making my dragon. I decided his head was too small- I am looking for that awkward young stage where he is still growing and things do not seem to quite "fit" together yet. I am also working on a winter bear. She is done but I am not sure how to dress her yet. She is demanding something rather elegant- my deah!
