Christina's Creative Expressions

We are in the midst of spring break , which explains my bloggy absence. We also have Just celebrated my oldest daughters 13th birthday! Yup I am officially a mom to 2 teenagers and in a mere year and five months I will have all teenagers. Yikes ok enough about my aging....

M is really into anything peace sign so her whole birthday theme revolved around it. Even her cupcake cake....
I am telling you more and more every year I swear I can do better then what I buy cake wise. Do I do it? No. Why? Because hubs says sitting in the same house with me working on a cake is like waiting for a nuclear reactor to go off. I am edgy and don't talk to me and just plain cranky till I am done. Even I admit to it! So store bought stays on the list .....anyway back to the birthday girl....

We had her birthday party on Fri. night because her birthday falls on Spring Break every year and we know hardly anyone will show up because of it. So a sleepover with 3 friends and some friends from out of town came by for the party and then lunch on Tues. to celebrate her actual day. Plus it is tradition in our house that you do not get mom/dad's , or grandparents gifts until your actual birthday DAY!

Before her dad handed her her gift he said NO SCREAMING! (He hates being embarrassed in public.) So I promise she is really excited to see her gift from mom and dad.

It has been in use constantly for 2 days now. She loves it. I can't wait to scrap it. Speaking of I do have more to show you on the way Just need to sit and blog about it. By the way......
