My 'creation' today is a 3-D decoration. Our neighbour, Ryan turned 10 yesterday but celebrated his birthday with the kids back at the end of school. It's hard having a birthday in the summertime. So we picked-up a large cupcake from the bakery and I decorated it with this pick...it's a fun idea that I got from a card I made for my son's birthday. The stars are supported with acetate strips. Anyhow he loved it and was happy we remembered...again!

Birthday parties are always among the highlights of a child's year, but did you ever wonder how the tradition of birthday parties started?

The tradition of birthday parties started in Europe a long time ago. It was feared that evil spirits were particularly attracted to people on their birthdays. To protect them from harm, friends and family would to come be with the birthday person and bring good thoughts and wishes. Giving gifts brought even more good cheer to ward off the evil spirits. This is how birthday parties began.

Have a great weekend and remember to check back in on Monday for the Blog Contest!!!  Lynda
