Well I may be sooooooooo busy right now but I've always got time for a party....!
Where's the party at? What's the occasion, you ask? Well the good news is that the party is right H.E.R.E and the occasion is to celebrate one incredibly talented and lovely peep's birthday :)
Yup! We've got a party goin' down here in Blogland to celebrate none other than Karen Baker's birthday!
So before I go on:
And now for the partying :) As you hop along Blogland today you'll spot a few of us celebrating Karen's Birthday in style. The sweetest gal ever, Erin organised this whole shindig for Karen and invited me to be a part of this party blog hop. The only condition was that I had to 'bring' something....
...so I decided that I like to have a nice drink at a party (don't we all?!) and decided that we must all drink in style:
Now I'll bring whatever drink y'all fancy...you name it and it's in the glass :)
I'm hoping you can tell that I dedicated this li'l decoration to Karen with the use of a stamped dragonfly embellishment - kinda fitting seeing as her blog is titled, The Bald Dragonfly (sorry, Karen but the glimmer mists just wouldn't play nicely on this project - believe me, I tried!). It's super sparkly IRL and coloured using Sakura Stardust pens along with having clear, delicate, sparkly vellum wings:
Now not only are we drinking in style, we're celebrating the whole day in style; be sure to check out what the rest of the party-goers rustled up for us and par-tay!

Love this... and since my little people love straws, I should keep this in mind (also love that WMS set), and how perfect is the butterfly, since I'm a literal girl at heart I hear you on your choice of embellishment. So glad you could squeeze in some time to join our party!!!

Last Christmas my husband gave me a gold dragonfly necklace. I treasure it. (Truth comes out that my mom found it and asked if my husband if she wanted me to get it for him to give to me, but that's a story for another day!). Your stir stick is brilliant. So clean and simple and fresh and so totally what I admire most of when I come here for inspiration! You are so talented! Thank you for joining in today, and for making my birthday extra special.
Awesome stirrer! Love the cute little dragonfly! :)
A very happy birthday to your friend Aimes, this is super cute!
