Becky's 14th Birthday Party

There is nothing better to complete a birthday party than a craft. Becky had planned to have a slumber party but because of Hurricane Ike only one of her friends was able to spend the night. I had made enough kits for 6 little girls. It all worked out though because Aunt DeDe and Ashley got to use some of the extra kits. We made a picture frame and a ribbon bookmark.

(she was SO proud to get to do the project with the big girls)
This is the picture that was taken for Ashley to put in her frame. Becky & Alexis had taken a BFF picture together for their frames and Ash wanted a picture with all of us for hers.
I LOVE birthday party arts & crafts!!!

There wasn't really any finishing to it. They each threaded three felt flowers (from Felt Fushion) then tied a knot. Not really anything special but they loved making them. :) I can't wait for Regionals!!!
