Take A Birthday Picture -Make It Into Canvas Art - Click on image
When your child goes to the birthday party of a friend from their school, it may be tough for you to be able to take a birthday picture, because you may not be invited. But, if you can figure out a way to come for even part of the time, it will be a wonderful opportunity for you to get some great birthday pictures.
Yesterday our granddaughter, age 9, was invited to a birthday party for one of her school friends. The party was held at a pottery club, and each of the girls made something out of pottery. There must have been around 15 of these young girls, and fun was being had by all.
The birthday cake was unique: it was Cinderella’s wedding dress. Cinderella stood on top, her veil trailing off behind her, and the cake itself was her dress. It was conical shaped; you know, like the dresses of old that were wide at the bottom and tight around the waist. I think they used wooden hoops to keep the bottom round and away from the feet back then.
While this was going on her grandfather and I walked along the lower part of the high banks on a river. We had hoped to see some rock formations, but because of mud from recent rains we couldn’t get that far down the river. There is an island in the river, so we strolled out there with our son and grandson to wait for the party to be over.
Upon our return we found the birthday girl opening her presents. Her mother was desperately trying to take pictures, but she was not having much luck. Birthday girl would hand the tag from the present to mom, then open the gift and slowly swing the gift from left to right in an arc to show all of the guests what her gift was. At the end of the arc she would simply drop the gift into the pile building off her left shoulder. It was really cute to see.
There was more for the kids to do at the party, so grandpa and I simply excused ourselves and headed home, enjoying the perfect end to a wonderful Michigan spring day. Some days are just perfect.

For Safe Storage of Your Birthday Memories. . .
If you are going to burn your photos to a DVD, the following information will be very important to you:
CD/DVD’s have a life expectancy of 2 to 20 years. With corrosion intercept refill sleeves
the life can be extended from 40 to 120 years. The intercept plastic acts as a barrier to the atmospheric gases that cause corrosion and tarnish, and that in turn causes the aluminum layer on the surface to break down. Corrosion Intercept traps the gases and permanently neutralizes them. Intercept also is designed to protect from the dangers of static electricity. Very stable Archival Gold CD’s & DVD’s are also available to purchase from this company. Just click on the picture of the gold DVD in this paragraph and search for Archival Gold DVDs in the search box.
Remember, keep taking lots and lots of photographs of your kids. You will be glad you did!
