Challenge #50 - "Going with the flow!"

Hi everyone . . slight change in plans this week as Lou has been up to her ears in family stuff and we wanted to make sure that our birthday celebrations were "simply the best" so the birthday party will now be NEXT WEEK and boy, oh boy have we got a PARTY lined up for you . . . prizes galore and loads of yummy inspiration too . . . no RSVP needed . . just join in with the fun!

This week we've decided to alter things a little as things are a bit up in the air, so suitably have gone with the theme of . .

"going with the flow!"

Simply translated this means, make anything you want . . . but please make sure it's decent and can be published !!! There will be a "surprise prize" for the lucky randomly chosen winner which has been donated by Lou (as an apology for all the mix ups). The DT had a blast with the theme this week and this is what they came up with to inspire . . .
