The most memorable thing about childhood birthdays for me is the cakes!! My mum always made our birthday cakes from the good old Womens Weekly Cake Book. I've had a mouse, a rabbit, a pig and many more. Womens Weekly now have a number of those cake books and it's nice to see that they still have some of the classics in there.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SOPHIE! Did you have a good one?
My most memorable birthday was my 9th when I had a CRAFT PARTY. It was awesome. We made potpourri and lace wall hangers and these little 3D pictures using double-sided tape. I think there was also some sort of intense icy pole stick and PVA glue construction going on. For my present everyone brought me a little something to go in my craft box. I got the cutest buttons and lots of lace and even some puff paint (so cool in the early 90's).
So yes, that was my most memorable birthday... until the next year when I had a Ninja Turtles party.
Thanks for having yet another giveaway with the added bonus of a chance to reminisce. xo
I had so many fun parties as a child. My mum used to put so much effort in to make them a bit different. When I was in grade 6 I had a 'punk party'. There were chains, mohawks, coloured hair spray, fake tattoos, big belts - I thought I was sooo cool. I wish I could attach a photo!
(I love the earrings!)

Many little birthday parties were had,
To think about them makes me happy and sad,
Happy at the memories of a wonderful time,
but sad that it seems to have flown by,
I had sleep over birthday parties and swimming pool water balloon fights,
But the most memorable of all I think hasn't happen quite yet and it's one I want to get just right,
My little girls first birthday is next year in Feb,
We are going to have bubbles and pink polka dots and fingers crossed a good time by will be said,
The invitations funny enough,
are matching little birds like your earrings pictured above.
What could be cuter then to adorn my ears,
then with little birds that bring plenty of cheer.
p.s I remembered that I have a photo online from aforementioned punk party!

Well that would have to be my 20th bday party...we had a "Rockstars" party where people had to dress up as their favorite musician (or just a musician in general), and to this day...people still talk about how big/fun it was :D
My most memorable childhood birthday was my 5th - mum made a real gingerbread house for the cake, decorated in icing and smarties and even a little fence made of musk sticks. Plus we had all the other awesome stuff: fairy bread, pin the tail, pass the parcel, and lolly bags for the guests :)
Well my most memorable childhood birthday was my '25th Disco Dress Up Party'. The theme was Disco and everyone dressed up it was compulsory. I even had a little colourful fluffy leopard print dace podium made up, disco decorations, disco themed songs, a smoke machine, a disco bubble machine, and last but not least the token disco ball.
My friends, family and I danced our little disco tooshies off all night. Best childhood birthday ever.
You may be starting to question my logic here "25 thats not a child?" ohhh but it so is!!! It totally took me back to my childhood days of brightly coloured clothes, bad hair and old school Michael Jacksons songs.
Bring on more 25th disco parties I say...

My most amazing birthday memory was this fantastic castle cake that Mum made for me! I was 5 and she super stared!!! Actually the highlight for every year was certainly the cake, her and Dad always worked on them together (which now means ooddels when he's not here anymore) and she always left it as a surprise! I loved that, the revealing moment was always full of sheer delight and excitement!!!
Thanks for sharing with us, sorry i haven't popped over more!! Will do now!
Love and super hugs

I am not entering the giveaway, as I was lucky enough to win the last, but my earliest memory of a birthday was when I turned 5, and at kindy they had a party for me, where I got a cool cardboard crown with horses and glitter on it, and a cake made out of playdough. I went home so excited to tell my family, but no one was that interested as our cat was having kittens right at that moment! And I always used to get so excited about my birthdays that I would vomit the night before, wierdo...
My most memorable was my 10th. I scored a BMX bike. It was red. You have to realise that this was the 80s and BXM's were all the range and now I had one... until dad backed over it with the car...sob...sob...sob

My most memorable birthday was the year my parents rented the ENTIRE skating rink just for me and my friends. Roller skating was a huge deal then and I ended up with more people at my party than I actually knew- and tons of presents from virtual strangers! :)
I think my most favourite birthday party was my 21st. Everyone I knew came over dressed as either a rock star or movie star. My best friend Kristian sang Abba with my mum, and my dad sang a song specially written for me.
Love your earrings, and hope you had an awesome birthday. And well done getting into Peppermint ! xo Teneale
Woohoo! Love a give away, love yours even more;) So this is a birthday day story, not a party. The day I turned 5 was a kinder day and all I wanted was a kiss from my 'boy friend'. So I kissed him on the cheek, he was not impressed and told the teacher and I got in trouble :P So girls, always play hard to get, or you will get in trouble on your birthday!
mmm i can't actually remember one specifically from growing up - but my most memorable ever is this years 1970's dressup birthday - VERY memorable...
