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.
