Hi puppy, I usually throw a party for the mindees birthday with balloons and we make a cake, nothing too fancy! You could have fruit smoothies and veg dips as well as the cake, to balance it out!

Have fun!

Katymac, I love the name you call your business 'walnut corner', I was thinking of calling mine cherry tree corner as i also live on a corner with a cherrytree, what do you think? would you mind me copying ( Although I do live in W.yorks)
