At the risk of sounding like Pollyanna I'm going to say it anyway. This weekend I am thankful for the wonderful people who rallied round and ensured that my daughter had a blissfully happy birthday.
Thank you to everyone who emailed, messaged, gave advice, endured my tearful phone calls and chipped in. I can't say tell you how much your kind words and practical help meant. Because of you this is what happened......
My daughter had a really Happy Birthday, which was all I ever wanted for her.
There was a table covered with lovingly prepared food. Thank you to Pink Frosting for the beautiful flowers that were sent by way of apology. They made an exquisite centrepiece and were much admired.
Little organza goody bags and lunchboxes were adored by all the miniature guests and opened with squeals of excitement.
There were tea cups. Edible ones of course.
There were fairies fluttering all over the garden
And this smile? Yes, she had a perfect day.(image removed)
I love my girl.
Thank you all so much. It was the happiest of birthdays!
