A friend came to me and asked for a Birthday Centerpiece that she could use for all of her family members. Her, Her husband and their three daughters. I made a seperate "Happy Birthday" stick for each member with a little something to reflect things they like. I also made the numbers 1-10 so that she could change them out depending on what age the person is turning. Here is what it looks like.

I love your centerpieces. What cart did you use for the ballet slippers in Avery's centerpiece.

Neat idea! For all of the work you put into making it it is good you can get more than one use out of it. I may have to borrow your idea!

WOW! Don't know which is more impressive, all the hard work or the sheer genius of the idea. Questions: Which cart did you get the Longhorn from?

Thank you for all of the wonderful comments. To answer the most asked question, it took me a few hours to get all of the cuts put into DS once that was done it took two days to get everything cut out, and layers glued together, then another two days doing all of the glittering. Putting the bouquet together took about 30 minutes. Yes it is very time consuming, but once the file it set up in DS it makes things much easier.

As for the Ballet Slipper snd the long horn sign, I cheated and used a different software... :)
