big thirty party

This weekend, my boyfriend celebrated his big birthday in style. 
with a great party and a lot of family and friends. 

i made this invitation...

… became very fond of drawing a kind of 'party animal'…

… so i drew one on the portal of the (party) barn, to indicate where the party was.

i like making this big drawings! 

(especially of one of the subjects i'm fond of - and used - to draw) 

the cake party

last week, it was my birthday. (i like to remember it for some weeks :))
a good occasion for some cakes, i thought.
so i sent this invitation to my friends:

I spent some hours (or more like half a week-end) in the kitchen,

with my friends flour, sugar, chocolate and butter (mostly)

and with some stress moments 

(like this one below - happened several times.).

But i have to say: I LOVE BAKING CAKES.

The result was this table:

some party elements, and my at my best:

close-up of the best (and easy-to-bake) cookies in the world (i found the recipe here).

the chocolate cake is even more peanuts, i found the recipe here.

and i succeeded to make a really tasty, healthy lemonade.

Needless to say, it was a tasty sunday worthy party.
