Even though I actually have two more finished AK bags (one for my sister-in-law and one for me for autumn), I don't have pictures of them yet. Instead, I painted these refrigerator magnets as party favors for my 2-year old's birthday party this morning (I've spent the last three days painting them; the party was this morning). I really enjoyed the change of pace, too! They are prepunched chipboard shapes and painted with acrylic, and are all about the size of my palm. I had so much fun mixing the bright colors, and playing with texture and shape. I think I'm going to do at least a few more for those random kids I need to make presents for but haven't known what to make.
And, on another note, I officially threw my first kid's birthday party! We didn't do one last year for Rhys's first birthday, but I wanted to celebrate this year. We had so much fun! It was a pool/play party and nothing was planned except eating cake. We moms hung out and talked while the kids played- and they played so well! Rhys had a blast- so much so that he promptly crashed after everyone left and took a nice long nap. Ah, to be two!
Zucchini cake (as opposed to carrot cake- we have a lot of fresh zucchini from the garden) with cream cheese frosting and fresh raspberries. Delish!
