Happy Birthday, Shanley Belle!

Thursday, October 20, 2016




Yesterday Shanley Belle celebrated her 24th birthday!  She had a twelve-hour day because she worked and had class until 7:30, but after class she came home to a small family birthday party. The theme: The Chicago Cubs!  We watched game 4 of the NLCS.  The Cubbies defeated the Dodgers 10-2:  Shanley Belle had a very happy birthday indeed!







I made the big gift bag filled with Cubbies-themed gifts from materials I found at Paper Source.





The cake is from Edgar's Bakery.









I used flowers in Cubbies colors.





















I chose this runner for the blue and red Cubbies colors in it.













The puppies wore their Cubbies jerseys for the party.  They will be cubbies for Halloween:  Mustang Sally will be Miguel Montero, Finlay will be Javier Baez, and Lily will be Addison Russell.


Happy Birthday, Shanley Belle!  I hope you enjoyed your little party, and Go Cubbies for Game 5 tonight!
