amelie is eight

Our Amelie Rose turned eight on the 16th.

Her weekend was filled with celebrations (including her own party and a party for a school friend who shares the same birth date), crafting, giggling, silliness and lovely gifts.

Her birthday was a very happy one.






 



















:: crafternoon party with 8 of Amelie's favourites
:: giant confetti with stitching
:: mantel
:: thrifted sewing boxes
:: party favours
:: fabulously handmade head pieces because a girl must look her best when crafting!
:: giggling girls
:: stitching
:: afternoon tea
:: birthday girl

Happy Birthday Amelie Rose.
You are kind and caring, sensitive and thoughtful, hilarious, great fun, sometimes ridiculous (in a good way!), beautiful and loving. You always try your best, you work hard, you are a patient sister, the 'big' cousin and a wonderful daughter. We love you and are very proud of you.
