Clarification: I want to clarify an understanding of the term Character in our Contest.  By "Character" I accept the definition of a person represented on a play, movie, theater, cartoon, etc. AND I also accept that a Character is an Image as is an owl, or a bird, etc.  So pretty much the possibilities are endless and your welcome to let your imagination run with what your favorite character is.

Kiki's Delivery Service {An Anniversary Feature}

Tomorrow is our 1st Anniversary and I want to celebrate with a styled dessert table featuring one of my girls' favorite characters....Kiki

Kiki is from the movie Kiki's Delivery Service, a Japanese animated movie. She is a little witch in training who together with her cat Gigi, leaves home to find herself and who she is to become.  Is a sweet movie, and the songs are so inspiring.   I had so much fun asking my kids for the things that should be included in the shoot and they wanted to make sure I included the famous clock tower and blimp from the movie, the breads from the bakery she worked at; and pancakes.... 

I wanted to show Kiki in a mystic and secret way, the way that would inspire you to learn about her but not really give you it all.  I want to inspire you to go and learn about Kiki and this fabulous movie while not showing you the real Kiki in the shoot....that is the beauty of the silhouette.  Pen n' Paper flowers created a beautiful silhouette of Kiki for us.

I won't go on any further, because I want you to enjoy the pictures....
