Julie, my life-long friend, is turning 40 this Monday. We meet in grade school and have been very close friends ever since. She now lives in Montana and I could not get there to celebrate with her. So to honor the day of her birth I put together a box of goodies.
No birthday is complete without a crown for the birthday girl. This started out as a cheap ($1) paper crown. After glitter, paint, paper, glue and a few gems this is what I created.
I made this bunting out of left over fabric.
Julie is a fan of owls so I made her this purse out of Japanese fabric.
And for a little touch of retro she got this owl apron. The pattern is the same one I used to make my
Dia de los Muertos apron. She will look very "professional" while she is baking cookies for her family.
I hope her special day is filled with much merry making and joy.
