Darren's 40th Birthday Cup Cakes

Darren's 40th Birthday Cup Cakes

My friend Donna decided to do a black and white themed party for her husband Darren's 40th birthday. I must say she really knows how to throw a party.  She hired a magnificent marquee, magician and sound system. You may say all a tad over the top, but it was far from it. 

A very successful and tasteful party, one of the best parties I have been to in such a long time. I am hoping she blogs her party tips on her blog www.homeiswherethetartis.com

I must say we were lucky the birthday boy attended at all, as on the day of his party he was traveling back from a European cup England match, we were sweating on several fronts. 

1. How depressed he would be if England lost 

2. What if he got delayed and missed his own party.  Darren I am sorry to say we would have had a great time anyway, but the birthday boy being present just enhanced the proceedings.

Thank goodness England won and he arrived back with an hour to spare to get ready for his guest's phew.

But back to the point my lovely friend Donna asked me to make cup cakes for the party. I spent the night at Donna's the night before the party to provide moral support, spend time with Donna and her boys and decorate the cakes. 

Peter Pan Eye's

Wow, one of my very talented students created this eye art yesterday when practicing for our annual, Avant-garde total look competition. Her theme is peter pan; I cannot believe the creativity she has displayed here. Great work Sarah.H this is sooo amazing and thank you for letting me display the picture on my blog.

Hoorah, Hello Extraordinary Chaos

I have dreamed of creating a blog for such a long time now, and hooray after days of thinking of names, weeks of reading, researching and discussing with my family, who have quite honestly lost the will to listen any longer. I have finally chosen a name and set up my blog.

Living in a house with a lovely husband, two amazing sons and a dog, (a totally male environment!)  there has been many helpful suggestions such as a football score page, or Burnley Football club progress reports, however this is a strictly football free zone.
