The Birthday Party Badge. not really something to shout about, most people i know have had at least one birthday party in their lifetime. i'll share some fond memories of stand-out birthday parties for me.
my...i think it might have been 5th birthday party? I was very into fairies, and there was this incredible shop nearby called The Fairy Shop, which to my five year old mind was the most amazing place in the world. it was decorated like a fairy grotto, and played wonderful mystical fairy music, and sold all kinds of fairy paraphernalia. i know this is starting to sound like a very different kind of shop, but it was really a lovely place. this fairy shop had a room where one could have a fairy party, and so that is what i did to celebrate turning 5. I invited some friends, and we all went to the fairy shop dressed up as fairies, and sat on chairs that looked like toadstools, and a lady dressed as a fairy ran the party. we had wishing stones, and ate fairy bread, and did all kinds of fairy activities and it was pretty much the most exciting thing that had happened to me in my short life.
the following year i had a bouncy castle. and my mother tied donuts to the washing line with string and we had to eat the donuts without using our hands.
and the year after that i had my first slumber party, where we ate chocolate fondue and my best friend at the time threw up.
crazy party animals we were.
i have had quite a lot of birthday parties in my 21 years, so i guess i'm lucky, that i have always had friends to celebrate my birthdays with, and parents willing to put time, effort and finances into making sure i had special birthdays.
so thanks all.
and here is my badge.
