a "tootin" birthday.

I have been planning for a couple of months now to add "party theming" to my design collection. Being an enthused party planner on many occasions, I saw an opportunity to combine events and design and decided to roll with it. About 12 hours before my nephews 1st birthday (last Saturday) I decided to test out some party theming ideas. With a little 'market research', a theme was born for my first test-run - owls!

Okay, so the theme doesn't exactly fit with the fact that the party was at a railway museum in town, but hey I was coming up with these ideas at 2am in the morning, so I did my best. The venue was inside an old train they had converted into a cafe, and the kids got to ride the steam train as many times as they wanted. Alec's first birthday (a train-cake) was yummy-licious too! A great day out!
