Stars and Stripes

Stars, stripes, burlap and lots of puff balls for our seven year old!



The beauty of layers and layers of fine paper
(that equal a whole night spent in the attic, folding and unfolding layers of fine paper.)


 
 
Stars, stripes and the first snowflakes of this winter.




Burlap photographed up close. (I just love the word. Burlap.)

 
 
 
Two steps back and it's not just stars but a whole sky. 
 
 
 
 
In the wee hours of the morning...
 

 
And for a Special girl who doesn't like chocolate: American White Cake.



And here she is! A happy birthday girl, catching snowflakes with her eyes.




Our star.

 
 

It feels like ages ago ....



But she carries it inside her.

Perfectly perfect and All-American for one 7 year old Nut. Happy birthday sweet GIANT girl. Hope to celebrate one with you very soon.

(p.s. Your future hubby sends big kisses...)

Happy, happy birthday, Princess Peanut. Such a star, indeed. Beautiful portrait! And a well spent night in the attic. Looks gorgeous!

A very happy birthday to little Miss America... a perfectly staged celebration *sigh*... but I am curious about an American themed party: What do they do as the main choice activity? Ride buffalo? Declare their independence?

PS where might I have seen that distinguished jawline before?
