ladybug party


Thought I would share with you a ladybug party I created for Hannah...many moons ago!
This was for her 2nd birthday. I can't believe my baby girl is turing six in March!
I must have felt crafty back then... as I made the drinking cups look like ladybugs and also made ladybug headbands for each child to wear.

Everyone came in dressed in red. Very cute!

pink baby shower



I was very honoured to host my sister-in-law's baby shower on the weekend.
She has been living in Dubai for the last 5 years and is finally home for good, so we thought it would be nice share her joy with family and friends.

As you can see, she is expecting a little girl, so it was pink, pink, pink!

Decorations:
Tissue pom poms were used to soften the room.. they were like huge marshmellows! Thank you to ah tissue for the inspiration! Daneve has a beautiful online store.

Invitation/Banners/cupcake toppers/thank you tags:
Designed by raspberrycreative (me).
Will be available on my website soon.

On arrival, each guest received a pink mini dummy bracelet on white ribbon
(pictured with milk bottles) Very cute!

The guests took home a little treat of milk bottles. (Available at Coles).

Cake: Hummingbird cake - homemade by me! An egg free option so I could eat it! Yum!
Punch: Last minute - make it up as you go along... pineapple and cocomut juice, lemonade and raspberry cordial.. It was a hit!!!!!!

Overall, it was a beautiful gathering. The joy of seeing a glowing mum to be, the smiles on everyone's faces, the wonderful advice she received (good and scary)and the feeling that I have made a wonderful memory for Anita to cherish.

cupcake toppers



The floods in Brisbane have brought stories of heroism and heartache and lots of tears on several occassions. The creek behind us was swollen and fast flowing, but thankfully never reach our back fence. I am so lucky that my family and friends are safe and I hope the same for your loved ones.

Onto a cheerful note...
I am in the middle of designing some delight cupcake toppers to match my range of invitations. Here is a sneak preview of the the girls mini-masterchef design (there is also a boys them as well). These will be launching in February and I have already had several wholesale stockist orders..whoohooo!

Be safe this storm season xx
