Yesterday was a lovely day.
We celebrated Ellen’s birthday – look how lovely she decorated her place (although it looked amazing, I have to admit – I shed a few tears for the gorgeous papers she so ruthlessly cut to create this banner adorning her apartment ;) )
Here’s Eli, crocheting… seriously, pretty much all my scrappy friends have been bit by the knitting/crocheting bug, which I find….no fun at all! *sniff*
Maren slowly trying to comprehend (bwahah) Marie’s explanation on how to create this crochet-thingie.
Time for pressies..
..methinks she liked this… I made a mini from all of us girls instead of a card..she got that + giftcard to one of her fave stores.
The mini was made w/papers from 3ndypapir..you can see more images at their blog here.
We started the day with cupcakes ♥ Some people were more eager to start than others..;p
♥ this instaphoto..
Before eating, the hostess had to create a few guidelines….and uh, you don’t discuss with a lady with a knife ;p
Hummingbird-cupcake from Eat my Muffin. ♥ My fave! Pineapple & walnuts (I think)..and the frosting was to die for!
Then everybody were commanded to dig into the hostess’ scrapbook-products to create a minialbum-page for the birthdaychild, using the Fujifilm Instax mini camera the hostess had. Fun!
Here’s my page..I dug into her Sassafras, AC and Jillibean-stuff:)
Then we had homemade tapas. I’d love to share images of the amazing food Ellen prepared for us (she’s incredible when it comes to tapas!) – but… I kept getting *cough* certain *cough* (jækla linselus) people *cough* in front of the camera whenever I tried ;p
All in all, a lovely day & evening, fun and interesting discussions (TdF? Bwahha), the most amazing food, lovely drinks and way too much crocheting! ;p
Edited to add: Ellens blogpost about the birthday – in Norwegian :)
