Happy Birthday, Mom ! !

Yesterday, the 4th of July , was my mother's birthday. Here she is with 6 of her 8 grandkids (the 2 oldest visited over the weekend, but had to fly back to Florida for work, college classes, and grad school internships .) Notice that GREAT birthday crown Mom is wearing? It was designed and crafted by my 2 sweet as pie nieces, Maura and Erin (in the 2nd picture, Maura is wearing the white Carmel sweat shirt). Anyhow, yesterday, true to form, I was totally running behind schedule trying to get my food assignments together for the cookout, so I let the girls loose in the Very Pink Sewing Room to wrap my mother's birthday presents for me and to craft some kind of birthday hat . . . and that's what they came up with !!!! (the birthday crown says "4th of July Birthday Girl" )I totally LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it !!! SUCH TALENT !!!!! I really must hire these two ! ! !

Toodles,
Mary Anne (aka Mare)

Happy Happy Birthday, Mary Anne's Mom. And the Birthday Crown is the living end (Mare, I am always running behind too... must be something of the creative genius in that, huh?) This looks to be a fun crowd with whom to celebrate.

P.S. It was very brave of you to let Maura and Erin lose in the Very Pink Sewing Room. Very brave.

Being somewhat of an experrt on crowns I can honestly say that this is one of the prettiest ever seen.
