Happy Birthday Allie

My best friend celebrated her daughter's first birthday this past weekend with a Hawaiian inspired birthday party!  I know turning one is a huge deal, so I wanted to make her something special for the occasion.  Since I got so many compliments last summer when I made my cousin, Gennaro, these hand painted sand pails with toys inside, I decided to make her a girl version of it.  To match the theme of her party, I made sure to include a palm tree, a beach scene, and a hula girl.  After I was done, I wrapped it all up in clear wrap with some black ribbon (black ribbon was the only color I had on hand, but I kinda like the look of it), and attached the card.  Happy birthday Allie!
