Inga's Birthday and Earl's Birthday

Just thought I'd show you the card I made for Inga's birthday and the little purse to match it.  


The card is CASED from Debbie Henderson:  http://www.debbiesdesignsblog.blogspot.com/



And then I made the little purse to match.  It's a cinch with the Petite Purses die!  Filled it with Hershey's nuggets.  It holds four - maybe five.



Trey ordered a designer cake for Inga.  She loves purses (and shoes, but this was a purse day), pink, zebra print, and polka dots. 


Trey and Inga -- Happy Birthday, Inga!


Earl had a birthday too several days before Inga's.
Happy Birthday, Earl!

The cake had to stay on the carrier base - that icing is messy!

Earl had decided several days before that  he wanted to provide entertainment.   After a trip to Walgreens for eggs and candy and raiding his change coffers, he had filled plastic eggs with pocket change (which we used to do and hide them around the house when the kids were younger but not little, little) and Hershey eggs.  We thought just Candi, Trey and Inga would want to hunt eggs (and we weren't sure about them - except for Candi who still, she says, has Mark hide them for her each year at home).  Lo and behold, it was the excitement of the day -- Earl's Mom and his brother Rick and Rick's wife Carolyn could hardly wait for Earl and I to get the eggs hidden in the back yard.

 I (Helen) hid that egg.  I thought the end of the gutter was a great hiding place.  It did take him a few minutes to find that one.

And then it was inside to count the booty - and divide the change and the candy into separate piles!
