Four

The eldest little P turned four yesterday. I cannot believe it’s four years since I had my first baby.

She’s a fan of primates, as many of you know, but her other passions include sausages, crafting and anything, but anything pink.

We recently bought her her very first proper party dress.

Before C’s party, November 2009

She requested something quite, quite marvellous for her present. A Cella sticker and magnet maker. Here is one of her hand-drawn flower magnets.

…and here’s my first attempt at full-sized cake decorating for tomorrow butterfly-themed party in the village hall (the sun had gone down when I snapped this I’m afraid). Have you noticed that there’s a spot of pink on there? Oh yes, there’s pink alright.

Happy Birthday little lass x

P.S.  I can’t tell you how fabulous this Cella Sticker maker is. Oh my word. All you need is an old magazine or some little childrens’ drawings. I can see a fridge magnet Advent Calendar coming up next year. I broke out the scissors and the Toast catalogue and in a few minutes I had several utterly gorgeous magnets. I did ask MissP if I could us it first of course!

    Oooh, my two had the Cella sticker maker and it cost me a FORTUNE in refills. I’ve not come across the magnet machine - I bet Tiny would like one for Christmas.

    Happy Birthday not-so-little MissP! And congrats to the grown up Pebbles- I hope you raise a glass to yourselves too …

    PS You do realise your next stop is a badge maker? It’s pointless to resist!

    You WILL need to sell the dog to keep the sticker maker supplied - Minx and I have one each and have gone on a diet of toast for a week to afford our fix!

    What a gorgeous little lady…… Hope you all have a wonderful time. The magnet maker sounds like it is a roaring success - enjoy!

    Oh the joy to be found in a sticker maker. Princess C-W has one and is still enamoured after all these years. Vale Woolies because they used to sell the refills.

    Happy Birthday Miss P :-)

    What a pretty Miss P in her party frock! Excellent cake decorating too!
    I wonder if I can persuade my 6 year old son that he wants a sticker maker for Christmas?!

    I have no little girls, but I have a sticker maker anyway! What fun.

    Happy birthday to Miss P! My youngest was six the day before Miss P and I can’t believe that she’s six already. Many thanks for the tip about the sticker machine - I’ve just ordered two for Christmas. xx

    Ah-ha! When my boys were that age they gave ME the sticker maker and I just gave them controlled use of it every now and then. It really was super until Son 2 broke it a few years later (with reduced supervision as he got older, I suppose). I suspect this is the difference between boys and girls…

    Son 2 has just had his 11th birthday party today - where does the time go? Your daughter looks so lovely and clearly had such a special birthday. Well done you.

  21. Mavis Howard (Just a thimbleful Says:

    What a beautiful child - treasure her, as I am sure you do. I could just eat her up, never mind the cake. Happy birthday. (before they were born, were the little pebbles just gravel ?….)

  22. Magic cochin Says:

    Happy 4th Birthday! :-)

    She is beautiful! Happy belated 4th Birthday. You must be so very proud of her.

    She’s gorgeous…. and what a fashion maven already, the perfect pair of boots to accessorize that party dress!
    Happy Birthday…
