This feels like just yesterday to me...I loved making her this outfit and have been playing dress up with her all year. So of course I had to dress her up for her special birthday. We also had to get the house all "pinked" up for the little princess party....
The royal thronage....(I like that word thronage..even if I did make it up)
Special cakes made by mom and dad....
Presents all ready to go....Wouldnt it be sad if she decides she doesnt like pink? Julie and I both have such a thing for it!!!!
Is this whole thing for me?
And there are presents too? (note the outfit and the knitted leg warmers...I am still going thru the yarn thing as you can see.)
Chubby legs need to stay warm too...Happy birthday little Ava Bee....
After her party, I went to Susans house a fellow blogger and we exchanged pig packages. We both are in the storybook ornament swap held by Val every month.
I made her this "pig in boots card" and some clay buttons...
A bracelet with a clay pig charm and a pink flying pig..
Here is the little pig hanging on my tree....I gave her the purple neck warmer I made too...
She gave me some of the cutest little pigs....Look at all this!
I love the kitchen towel and the potholders...and not one, but three ornaments!!!! The best part was the time we had to visit and get to know each other...
I also want to show another picture of a doll that CJ made me from our Christmas swap...She sent me so much stuff, I think it is fun to spread it out a little...
The detail on her is amazing...She has bracelets, painted fingernails and her hair is all beaded. She has a big bustline, lips and a big booty..She wears them proudly and sits on my little flat screen in my bedroom...Isnt she a kick?
Last of all I joined Roc's fliker group and she does a monthly journal page and then at the end of the year you have a full journal. January's page prompt was "what do you want to accomplish in 2012?
It is personal, but this is where I am at right now...The last year has been a long, long journey....Other than that I have been working, I painted the kitchen..(I will show picture later) Finished painting and covering seats of two dining chairs, walking a lot on the treadmill and beating on the rock band drums....I literally do it until my arms are shaking tired. Also I am still knitting and loving yarn like crazy...I do it mostly at work. I also ordered THE sock loom from Joanns with the last of my gift card...Cant wait till it gets here.....xoxox melinda

Love your pig stuff, that is a hoot....the pig in boots.
Looks like you all had a really fun birthday party.

What a special party for a little princess. Love those knitted leggings.
It looks like you had a fantastic swap. Who knew there was so many great pig ideas?
what a neat post...full of wonderful PINK things!!!!
LOVE that journal page!!!!!!! WOW it is beautiful!!!! Miss you.I think you left me a voice mail but my stupid phone wont let me hear any messages. xoxoxoox
The b'day gal is so cute....and how great that she won't pull things off her head. My kids and grands seemed never to want anything on their heads.
Ava is such a cutie and a lucky girl to have you in her life. The legwarmers are darling. The rest of the outfit is "fit" for a princess also. Looks like a great party.
You do such an awesome job on swaps. I've really cut back on swaps lately. My DH has many health issues that require my time and "driving skills". Hopefully he will be able to drive March 1st. That will free up some time for me and swapping.
Have a wonderful weekend.
