Millie turns 8

On the 10th September my eldest grand daughter Amelia Saige turned 8.  Gosh I can remember the day we welcomed you into this world little girl, now look at you.  We had a family celebration on Sunday 12th with a barbecue followed by a beautiful birthday cake which Aunty Jenjen made.

                                                 6 little fairies all in a row

I decided I would like to make Millies present this year and a thought popped into my head one night when I was trying to sleep.  We call Millie our fairy girl, so I decided to make her a set of  6 fairies with a letter of her name on each one.  Then I thought the fairies need a mushroom, so made a cushion to go with them.  I also made her a fairy birthday card and wrote a poem in it.

Aunty Jen jen saw my cushion which gave her inspiration for Millies cake which was absolutely fabulous. She also made Millie a necklace made out of   fimo with her name on it, this looked so pretty.

Funny thing was except for Jen and I  we didn't all talk about Millies birthday and come up with a fairy theme but everything Millie received was to do with fairies. From Aunty Deb and Uncle Warwick she received pyjamas with tinker bell on them.  Also her Mum, Dad, Joshua, Kaiden and Hollie gave her fairy decorations for her bedroom.

Hope you enjoyed all you fairy things Millie Mouse.

Millies birthday poem:
These little fairies have come to stay
To make you happy and want to play
Clap three times and whisper in their ears
Your wishes will come true for years upon years
So spread your wings and fly up high
Into the beautiful sky
Together we will dance around the moon
Whilst singing some of our favourite tunes
Sprinkle star dust until its dawn
Then return to bed with a huge yawn
Tuck you up all snug and tight
Kiss you gently to say good night

Sweet dreams our fairy girl Amelia Saige

DAFFODIL DAY

Friday 27th August was Daffodil Day which I usually like to support.  Bruce was off work sick and had to go to the doctors.  I suggested we make a quick trip into the cbd after his visit to pay a few laybys.  I was disappointed to not be able to find any daffodil things in any of the shops we went into.

oops this is upside down but still looks pretty.

On Sunday we celebrated Chris's birthday in the local park then we brought Jackjack back here as his daddy was working and mumma was at a blessingway.  It was such a beautiful day so I took Jackjack out the back to play for a little while until dinner was ready.  We discovered the daffodils we planted recently had one single bloom on it.
