Double Digits {Giveaway}

Random Number Generator picked lucky no. 8! Congrats to Lauren of Team Giles. You won!

Today, I've been a parent for 10 years. A decade!

My little girl is not so little anymore. I'm not so young either.

I love that girl. And I don't want her to grow a day older or take another step away from me!

But it's her birthday and I'm not going to cry.

(I did tear up a bit when she got on a giant horse for her first horse riding lesson -her present)

Instead of crying, we're throwing a fantastic cupcake party tomorrow. We're getting out our special birthday banner and she and ten of her best pals are decorating their own cupcakes and making felt cupcake shirts like these:

(we bedazzled a sample shirt)

Each girl is getting a white shirt of their own in these felt bags from the Dollar Spot at Target (they had ornaments on them, we peeled them off and glued felt cupcakes instead!) We're also making bottle cap necklaces and learning how to decorate real cupcakes-to eat, of course.

Of course, we needed some special birthday party announcements!

Thanks Pepper for customizing some delicious birthday invitations for free! If you need some invitations, I highly recommend her!

And, one of my sponsors Party Cupcake Ideas is helping us celebrate! (Do you need cupcake ideas for your parties? This is the place!) They are generously giving away something incredible: a cupcake charm and bracelet from Tiffany's!!! ($200 value).

I may have to break my rules and enter my own giveaway for this one!

Happy 10th Birthday, Honey!

Go, have a look and tell me your favorite kind of cupcakes as your entry.

This giveaway will end soon, don't miss out.
