This Weekend.....

SURPRISE!!!!

It has been one very busy weekend for us decorating Lauren's room as a surprise for her Birthday while she has been away at Brownie camp.... But we did it....

She had the most fab time, but was looking very tired when we picked her up yesterday, so when we got home some how she found some energy to undo cards and pressies still unaware of her bedroom.... I had to ask if she'd give me a hand to take some thing's up because with loads of new thing's it didn't look like she was going to go to her room PANIC!! and I was excited to see her reaction (the big kid in me I guess).. The photo I got is not the best battery got low but the smile is there, she was so pleased she ran out and hugged us.... that brought a tear to my eye...


Some of my makes for Lauren's room....

Heart Ribbon Notice Board



A curtain dangler.....



I really missed my little lady on her birthday but I am so glad she had a lovely time. The Brownies made it a really special for her, singing at meal time's and they had firworks and lit chinese lanterns Saturday evening. Oh and the cupcakes I sent in went down well too!!!

So today is back to normal and load of chores to catch up on.... would be better if the housework fairy would drop by but I fear it's just me.... so I had better get to it I guess...

Something for my little girl, but SShhhhhshhh!!!

This Friday my little lady is going on a pack holiday with her Brownie Pack, but there is something else a little special about this weekend too, it's also Lauren's 8th birthday on the Saturday while she is away... So I have made a couple of thing's for her, a little journal for her to keep a record of all the fun things she'll get up to...


And a little cupcake hanger which is going to double up as a birthday wish, I do have to add the Happy Birthday tag to it but that's still in the making.... I am going to ask L's brown owl to give this to her on Saturday morning...



I also have plans of making a ribbon notice board for L's room, cause while she is away we are decorating her bed room as a surprise, well Lauren has picked the paint but she has no idea about about the new bed linen, curtains etc and that we hope to have it all done while she is away...

I think it is going to be so weird not having L her for her Birthday, and to add to the weirdness this will be her first time away from home on her own, my baby girl is growing up....

I hope she is going to enjoy this time away, just want her to have loads of fun and not miss us to much, my girlie is quite a clingy girl, or maybe it's me and I'm the clingy one.
