This looks FANTASTIC! It looks really spacey!
Your son will absolutely love it. As Soblivion says, that honeycombe mesh is ingenious, it really sets it of.
Can't wait to see it with cakes on, how long do we have to wait?? (Not wishing your little boy grows up too quick but I really want to see it!!):happyhear We are not put on this earth for ourselves, but are placed here for each other.
If you are there always for others, then in time of need, someone will be there for you.

fantastic Rusty, great idea specialk and ingenious using the mesh Rusty, it all sparkles in the light and looks brilliant.
Men have different brains to us, I always ask a female friend or neighbour to come and give a honest opinion (I know they will too).
Thankyou Soblivion. Haven't had much chance to do anymore as yet but I know what I want/need to do still so just have to hope it turns out ok. The tins as they are still full are a lot better as they seem to hold it all together a bit better. OH actually likes it now which I guess is a good thing and Thomas loves it and can't wait for his birthday party!This looks FANTASTIC! It looks really spacey!

You still have 2 weeks and 1 day to see it all in action I am afraid! Plan to make the cakes the day before when my son is at school and OH has 2 days booked off work so he can watch the smallest one
Couldn't have done it without the origional idea and already seeing one beautiful one from soblivion so thankyou to you both.Raising kids is like being held hostage by midget terrorists0 -

Woohoo I am all excited and stressed at the same time!
1 Week to go til my baby is 6!
OH has sat at the pc for the last half an hour playing in photoshop to produce these fantastic invites
(I have removed my phone number and venue
)
Will be handed out at school tomorrow to the children.
The presents are wrapped, the star wars cupcake rice paper arrived this morning. The party food is bought and frozen ready to cook on the day. MIL is thinking about party games.
Just waiting on the springs to arrive for the party bags ... then I need to go out and find some cello bags that they can fit in, black curling ribbon and some sweets for inside. Oh and I need to sort out the cupcake stand Raising kids is like being held hostage by midget terrorists0 -
