My 21st Birthday

It was my 21st birthday on the 24th of January, and I had a wonderful time!

all friday I baked and prepared food and the decorations for my Mexican themed party.
matching birthday cake and fairy cakes.


me and my best friend vicky, she came all the way from coventry to wales with some of my other friends to see me, which was lovely! I loved her pinata skirt, (a tutu with crepe paper sewed onto the layers) awesome!
There were lots of great costumes, plenty of moustaches and sombreros.



Food wise I made cheesy nachos with jalapenos, I heated wraps and pitta breads to go with the chilli my boyfriend made. Then I just cut lots of raw cucumber and carrot for the tonne of salsa and other dips I bought. A mexican feast!

I also made a Tequilla Sunrise to go in my cocktail fountain. And of course a pinata filled with sweeties.


anyway, glad I finally posted this because its very delayed!

Viva Pinata!

my birthday is getting nearer!



Adios!

January Plans

Its my Birthday on the 24th of this month! I will be 21 which is probably the last of the decent birthdays :/

Anyway I plan to have a mexican themed party!

I got a lot of ideas from Gringo's Guide to a vintage fiesta!



Here is my costume so far:

I adjusted the skirt from an old queen of hearts costume I had made and sewed on the ribbon. Ive not done this very neatly because my sewing machine packed in, so I had to hand stitch it, I'm not very neat anyway but I'm terribly impatient as well.
I got this wonderful gypsy top off ebay for like £4, just right for my outfit.

All i need now is a big red flower for my hair :D
As for decor I have bought a mexican flag and i have just started making colourful paper chains.



I have yet to get a pinata, I might make one, I'm just a little short of time and I have a busy week ahead with uni assessments etc. We will see!

Here I am trying on my boyfriend's costume, I bought him that sombrero back from Spain in August.

I think the party will be a huge sucess, last year's Wizard of Oz theme was great! Theres nothing like Mexican food and music to warm you up in this cold weather!
